Insect Repellent Active Ingredients Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Insect Repellent Active Ingredients Market is accounted for $1.12 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.14 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. An insect repellent is an agent used on skin, clothes, or other surfaces to deter insects (and other arthropods in general) from landing or climbing on that surface. Insect repellents aid in the prevention and management of the spread of arthropod- and insect-borne diseases such West Nile fever, dengue fever, bubonic plague, and other illnesses like malaria and Lyme disease. The primary active chemicals in insect repellents are DEET, P-methane 3,8-DIOL (PMD), EBAPP/IR3535, Picaridin/Icaridin, and Icaridin/Picaridin. Especially in regions with a high incidence of insect-borne illnesses, governments and health organisations frequently release guidelines and recommendations about the usage of insect repellents.

According to a report by the World Health Organization in 2023, nearly half of the world's population was at risk of malaria. There were an estimated 247 million cases of malaria worldwide. The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 619 000 in 2021. Children under 5 accounted for about 80% of all malaria deaths.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rise in vector-borne disease occurrence

Rising temperatures across the planet are changing the geographic distribution of vectors. Climate change is contributing to the rise of vector-borne diseases is by influencing the distribution and abundance of vectors through rising temperatures and precipitation patterns. The major vector-borne diseases constitute about 17% of the infectious diseases in the world. The insect repellents are 7hugely used to control these vector borne diseases. The raising vector-borne diseases are fuelling the market growth.

Restraint:

High interminable time for product approval

Chemicals are most likely the Insect Repellent Active Ingredients. They pose a risk to both people and the environment. Things must be thoroughly examined before any approval. For such items to be approved, a number of tests need to be conducted. The effectiveness of these compounds cannot be determined based on the available evidence. This causes a lengthy procedure for product approval.

Opportunity:

Raising outdoor activities

Outdoor activities have seen an increase in demand for insect repellent products in recent years. Insect-borne illnesses are becoming better known, there is a rise in outdoor activity and tourism, and natural and environmentally friendly insect repellent solutions are becoming more and more popular. Products that offer effective and long-lasting defence against mosquitoes, fleas, bugs, ticks, and other insects include those that are water-based or organically produced. People are becoming more worried about protecting themselves against bug bites and the diseases that they might spread as more people participate in outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and fishing. These factors are fuelling the market growth.

Threat:

Environmental hazards & side effects

Aquatic life is extremely hazardous to the active chemicals of vaporizable pesticides for mosquito control, and pollinating insects are also at risk. The repellents include 1.6% prallethrin, which has the potential to be poisonous to the blood. The market for insect repellent active ingredients may be affected by the possible negative effects of insect repellent compounds on infants. Consumer confidence and demand for these items may decline as a result of worries about the safety and welfare of newborns. These negative impacts are impeding market expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

Since insect repellents are viewed as a product for home cleanliness and home care, the COVID-19 epidemic had a favourable impact on the insect repellent business globally. In addition, as consumers become more aware of the need for personal hygiene and home care goods, demand is anticipated to increase in the near future. Additionally, manufacturing firms think that the pandemic has increased customer awareness of the need to practise good hygiene at home and on a personal level to lower the risk of infection, which is anticipated to become a trend over time.

The 10%-50%segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The 10%-50% segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its lower concentrations. Products containing a 10%- 50% concentration of active ingredients are most widely used in tick-infested areas with a higher risk of contracting vector-borne diseases. This is due to the fact that most EPA-registered repellents do not effectively deter ticks at lower dosages. They are only effective for a short period of time between two and five hours and do not affect people or the environment. Demand for this category is being driven by its shorter length and low concentration of only approximately 24%.

The aerosols segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The aerosols segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Insect repellents in the form of aerosol sprays are popular and extremely efficient methods of keeping insects away. They offer a practical and adaptable way to keep a range of biting insects at bay. These solutions are meant to release a fine mist or spray of repellent and come in pressurised cans or containers. Their spray style makes application simple and uniform, guaranteeing total coverage on exposed areas. The repellent can penetrate tight spaces like clothes folds or hair thanks to the small mist. Because of this, aerosol repellents are appropriate for outdoor activities and places with a lot of insects.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Vector-borne illnesses, which are mostly spread by insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and flies, present a serious threat to the Asia Pacific area. These illnesses like dengue fever, malaria, chikungunya, and Japanese encephalitis have a significant negative effect on public health and place a heavy financial burden on society. Numerous instances are recorded each year in important nations in the region. This difficulty increased consumer demand in this Asia Pacific region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. In Asia Pacific, demand for insect repellents is rising as a result of increased knowledge of the dangers of illnesses spread by insects and better prevention instruction. Australia has run a number of programmes to promote the use of insect repellents and raise awareness of illnesses spread by mosquitoes, such as dengue fever. It consists of social media campaigns, radio and television advertising, and instructional materials supplied by healthcare organisations. The market for active ingredients is further fueled by public health campaigns, governmental programmes, and organisations that advocate the use of insect repellents as a preventative precaution.
