New Member Benefit: NPMA Partners with ITR Economics for Industry-Specific Forecasting
NPMA is excited to announce a new partnership with ITR Economics that gives members exclusive access to economic forecasting built specifically for the pest management industry — at no additional cost.
Starting now, NPMA members receive Quarterly Economic Forecast Reports covering the indicators that matter most to pest management businesses, including industry employment, wages, and establishment counts, alongside key national economic drivers like GDP and retail sales. Each report shows where the industry sits in the business cycle and what’s likely coming next, so members can plan staffing, budgets, and growth with real data instead of guesswork.
Members also get free access to ITR’s Alliance platform, where you can upload your own company’s sales data and measure it against the same trends and leading indicators in your Forecast Reports — a personalized, private view of your business’s trajectory.
Members will get a firsthand look at ITR's forecasting approach at PestWorld 2026, October 20–23 in Grapevine, TX. ITR economist Michael Feuz will lead a two-part Thought Leader session, "Setting Expectations for 2027 and Beyond," on Thursday, October 22, covering the macroeconomic drivers — including inflation, interest rates, labor, and geopolitical uncertainty — that will shape business planning in the year ahead.
