Rodenticides market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the rodenticides market in Poland experienced notable fluctuations, with the physical market volume moving between 9,473 t and 10,343 t. After a peak of 10,114 t in 2020, volume contracted to 9,473 t the following year.

A sharp expansion occurred in 2022, with market volume jumping 21% to 11,489 t and value rising significantly. This surge was primarily driven by rising prices for agrochemicals amid favorable agricultural market conditions, which boosted the sales value of plant protection products. Concurrently, growing consumer awareness of product labeling and composition stimulated demand for compliant and higher-quality rodenticides.

Market growth continued into 2023 and 2024, with volume reaching 12,896 t in 2024. The development of the plant-based food substitutes sector supported underlying demand in agriculture, while ongoing regulatory changes, including the withdrawal of certain plant protection products, continued to shape the market environment.
