Demand for home and garden pesticides in the US is forecast to increase an average of 2.6% per year to $2.7 billion in 2024. Rising interest in home gardening – particularly of vegetables – will boost sales in spite of a weak consumer spending environment. Concern about insect-borne diseases will also support ongoing sales growth for products used in households.
Consumer gardening activity boomed substantially in the spring and summer of 2020, with many garden supply retailers reporting record sales. To an extent, this was a result of people spending more time at home, whether voluntarily or in response to stay-at-home mandates. Although it is expected that some new gardeners will not return to the hobby in 2021, gardening will likely remain above pre-pandemic levels through 2024 as elevated interest in home food production persists and the uptick in remote working is likely to last to some extent,
Home and garden pesticide producers face persistent challenges – both regulatory and in public perception – due to the inherently hazardous nature of their products. Most notably, glyphosate-based herbicides have been the subject of well-publicized lawsuits that resulted in Bayer agreeing to pay over $10 billion in settlements in June 2020.
Producers such as Scotts Miracle-Gro have attempted to expand their range of non-glyphosate herbicides, offering products that use ingredients like ammonium nonanoate, which is certified for use around organic gardens. However, the effectiveness of glyphosate makes it hard to replace while still satisfying customer expectations about product performance.
Several other pesticide active ingredients hold potential to disrupt the market, including:
While suppliers continue to innovate new products, the vast majority of home and garden pesticides use off-patent, commodity-type active ingredients. Producers thus emphasize branding and value-added packaging in order to differentiate their products and secure customer loyalty. Packaging that allows for safe, easy application of pesticides is increasingly important. For example, Scotts Miracle-Gro and Spectrum Brands both offer a range of products that come with battery-powered sprayers designed to integrate with their pesticide packaging.
