U.S. Pest Control Market
A Thriving $24.2 Billion Industry

The pest control industry in the U.S. is thriving, with a market size of $24.2 billion, according to IBISWorld, a leading industry market research company. From 2018 to 2023, the industry saw a robust compound annual growth rate of 5.2%, and as of 2024, it continues to grow, reaching $24.2 billion—a 0.94% increase from the previous year.

Several factors are driving this impressive growth. Increased consumer awareness about health concerns related to pests, the impact of climate change on insect and rodent populations, and expanded services targeting public health pests like mosquitoes are key contributors. Additionally, the growth of the integrated pest management (IPM) industry, the introduction of new IPM programs, and increasing government support for IPM initiatives are expected to further boost this market.

Longevity of
The Industry

The pest control industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of economic downturns. During the Great Recession (2008-09), commercial service revenue experienced only a 2.2 percent decline, primarily due to pricing pressure from commercial clients. The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unprecedented scenario for the industry. However, pest control is deemed an "essential service," with the National Pest Management Association effectively communicating the necessity of pest control to state and local governments for public health protection.

The current pest control industry landscape is promising, particularly for those seeking to expand and grow their businesses. From 2018 to 2023, the U.S. pest control industry revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%, according to industry market research company IBISWorld.

More forward-thinking pest control organizations such as Pestmaster have continued to improve upon and diversify their offerings to include animal and rodent mitigation services, and developing integrated pest management protocols to meet the evolving needs of commercial and government clientele. The positive outlook and steady growth of the industry make investing in a Pestmaster franchise a compelling opportunity for aspiring business owners.
