Report Scope

Global Commodity Fumigation Service Market- Description

Applicable in the commercial setting, commodity fumigation aims to keep food-based products and raw ingredients utilized to make those products safe from pests. Generally, it is used to extinguish insects in storage units such as shipping containers, truck trailers, and boxcars. The storage unit is sealed to ensure it is airtight and then pumped full of chemicals with the use of a hose. After an extensive period of exposure to the fumigant, the storage unit is unsealed and aired out with the assistance of a fan. The complexity of pest infestation has increased with the increase in population, stimulated urban developments, and changes in weather patterns. This, in turn, has led to a robust demand for pest control products and services, throughout the world. Consumer awareness associated with health and hygiene issues has increased, leading to increased demand for pest control in the residential sectors. Additionally, the increased government regulations on hygiene mandates in the commercial and industrial sectors have also increased the demand for pest control in these sectors, across the globe.

Advancing economic activities, augmenting population, and the effects of insects, coupled with intolerance for pests, are fueling market growth. Climate change is serving as a major catalyst for the hike in command for pest control services across the globe. According to a statement by the World Health Organization, using recently predicted values for warmer temperatures, Goulson and colleagues estimated a potential increase in fly populations of 244% by 2080, compared with current levels. If it is to be true concomitant gains in fly-borne diseases would be expected. In order to avoid the worst scenario, consumers in the market are expected to be more inclined towards pest control services, along with precautionary measures to avoid potential damage.  Increasing focus on the usage of biocides is also acting as a major factor for market growth. These are increasingly being used to replace traditional pesticides as they are more environmentally friendly. For instance, Rentokil has registered CO2 for use in the control of rodents under EU biocidal regulations. The company is continuing to work in the areas of insect and rodent control.

Key Trends of the Global Commodity Fumigation Service Market:

·         Rising Adoption of Digital Applications and Technology

The most crucial aspect of food safety in the global food supply chains is pest control. The changes in the way food is produced, distributed, and sourced along with climate changes, have led to a heightened risk of food safety from pests. Additionally, more rigid and inflexible regulations for food safety and changes in consumer demands are the key factors that are estimated to encourage food producers or manufacturers to find more efficient and sustainable ways to ensure food quality and safety.

Changes in consumer habits, such as online shopping, have led to an increase in the use of automation in the supply chain, which allows pests to thrive where there are few or no humans around to notice pest infestations or deter pests, such as rats and mice. Thus, pest control manufacturers are adopting greener and smarter pest control solutions.

·         Growth in Pest Resistance Against Chemical Compounds

Even though insects are effectively managed by the application of chemicals, these insect species can develop resistance to insecticides when exposed to a larger dose of these active ingredients frequently. For instance, flies are known to have developed high resistance against all types of insecticides due to the improper handling of pesticides. According to the Center for Integrated Pest Management, over 600 species of pests have developed resistance to chemical compounds. This has encouraged the use of biocontrol products and alternative measures, including crop rotation, to prevent pests from building any resistance.
