According to a research report “Vector Control Market by Technology (Chemical, Physical & Mechanical, Biological), Control Method (Comprehensive, Integrated Vector Management, Targeted), Vector Type, End-Use Sector, Mode of Application and Region – Global Forecast to 2029” published by MarketsandMarkets, the global vector control market is estimated at USD 21.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 29.80 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2024–2029. This report provides a comprehensive vector control market analysis covering key technologies, control methods, and end-use sectors.
The market is fueled primarily by the prevalence of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika, alongside growing public health awareness. Governments and health agencies are increasingly investing in preventive measures to curb disease vectors, integrating traditional control methods with advanced technologies like AI-driven surveillance and biological solutions. Regulatory shifts toward eco-friendly practices are also driving demand for novel, sustainable vector control solutions. Urbanization and rising population densities further emphasize the need for effective vector management. These developments are expected to significantly influence the vector control market trends in the coming years.
Biological Vector Control Gaining Momentum
Among technologies, the biological segment is witnessing rapid growth due to increased demand for sustainable and environmentally safe pest management methods. With concerns over the environmental impact of chemical pesticides, biological approaches target pests while minimizing harm to non-target species and ecosystems. For instance, Anticimex (Sweden) offers Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) treatment, a bacterium that selectively kills mosquito larvae without affecting humans, pets, or other wildlife.

Residential Sector Leads End-Use Market Share
The residential sector dominates the end-use segment, driven by the need to protect homes from disease-causing pests. As urban populations expand and awareness of health risks associated with mosquitoes, rodents, and other vectors increases, demand for effective control solutions grows. Additionally, the rising popularity of eco-friendly and non-chemical products has encouraged the adoption of biological vector control solutions in residential spaces, contributing to the overall vector control market size.
Europe Holds Significant Market Share
Europe represents a major share of the vector control market, thanks to strict public health regulations and high awareness of vector-borne diseases. The region invests heavily in effective control measures and fosters innovation in technologies like biological control and integrated pest management. Agencies such as the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) actively monitor diseases like West Nile fever and tick-borne encephalitis, providing risk assessments and outbreak information across the EU and its territories.
