The Europe and South and Central America insect pest control market report highlights key factors contributing to the progress of the Europe and South and Central America insect pest control market, as well as prominent players and their developments in the market.

Increasing health risk awareness and public health concerns, particularly due to the rising incidence of vector-borne diseases and infestations across residential, commercial, and public spaces, drive the insect pest control market. International health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have intensified efforts to combat the spread of diseases transmitted by insects, including malaria, dengue, Zika virus, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus. These diseases have seen a concerning rise in cases across Europe and South and Central America. For instance, in 2024, Europe experienced a significant increase in dengue fever cases, with some countries reporting local transmission for the first time. While the number of cases remains lower than in other regions, such as the Americas or Southeast Asia, the rise in locally acquired cases is noteworthy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dengue is considered the most common disease in South and Central America. These trends have prompted governments and public health agencies to invest in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, public awareness campaigns, and stricter regulatory frameworks to ensure safe and effective pest control solutions. Municipal governments worldwide have started launching community-wide vector control programs. For example, in 2025, European countries will likely focus on strengthening vector control programs to combat the increasing threat of vector-borne diseases. This will involve implementing comprehensive strategies, enhancing surveillance, and adapting to emerging challenges such as climate change and invasive mosquito species. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Mosquito Control Association (EMCA) will play key roles in coordinating these efforts. Similarly, Brazil has intensified the larvicide treatments in urban areas to combat dengue outbreaks. These proactive health measures and heightened consumer awareness about disease prevention have boosted the demand for professional pest control services and DIY products. The convergence of public health policies, regulatory vigilance, and increased consumer risk perception results in the demand for innovative and compliant pest control solutions, bolstering the Europe and South and Central America insect pest control market size.
