Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic chemicals which are similar to the natural pyrethrins which are found in Chrysanthemum flowers. They are human-made chemicals that act like natural pyrethrins. Pyrethroids have been used widely as agricultural insecticides and for public health applications such as control of mosquitoes and other insects. They destroy the nervous system of insects by disrupting the sodium channels in the insect's nerve cells. Pyrethroids are popular for use in households and gardens due to their relative safety for mammals and ease of use. They are an affordable alternative to organochlorine and organophosphate insecticides and are less acutely toxic to humans.
Market Dynamics:
The global pyrethroids market is driven by factors such as rising demand for eco-friendly and safer insecticides due to the ban on organochlorine and organophosphate insecticides. Pyrethroids have advantages such as being less toxic, biodegradable, and targeted towards insects only without causing harm to human health. This has increased their adoption in households, agriculture, and public health programs. However, overdependence and misuse has led to rise in pyrethroid resistance in insect pests which poses a challenge. Also, stringent regulations regarding the use of chemical insecticides is restraining the market growth. The development of novel formulations and combination products with reduced toxicity and resistance issues can create new opportunities.
