The Global Mosquito Repellent Market size is expected to reach $9.6 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 1,287.2 million units, experiencing a growth of 6.1% (2019-2022).
Mosquito coils are often cost-effective compared to other forms of mosquito repellents. Thus, the coil segment acquired $853.9 million in 2022. This affordability makes them popular in regions where cost is crucial for consumers. Coils are relatively easy to use. They require minimal setup and provide continuous protection against mosquitoes when burned, making them convenient for households.
A growing preference among consumers for natural, eco-friendly, and chemical-free repellents drives manufacturers to develop formulations using plant-based ingredients, catering to the demand of consumers of the market. The potential health hazards linked to repellents formulated with chemicals are a growing concern among consumers. Natural repellents are frequently considered preferable alternatives, particularly for allergic or respiratory individuals or those with sensitive skin. Consumers increasingly prioritize eco-friendly and sustainable products. Additionally, urbanization and changes in climate patterns contribute to the proliferation of mosquito habitats, leading to increased exposure to mosquitoes in both urban and rural areas, thereby boosting the demand for repellents. Urbanization often alters natural landscapes, creating more breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Construction sites, stagnant water in urban areas, and changes in temperature patterns due to urban heat islands can contribute to increased mosquito populations. Urbanization increases city density, exposing more people to potential mosquito-borne diseases. The increased interaction between humans and mosquito habitats heightens the demand for effective repellents as a preventive measure. Urbanization and climate change contribute to a complex interplay of factors affecting mosquito habitats, disease prevalence, and human exposure risks. Thus, rising urbanization and climate change are the factors propelling the growth of the market.
However, health and safety concerns related to mosquito repellents primarily revolve around several aspects, including chemical exposure, potential toxicity, and environmental impact. Some chemical-based repellents contain active ingredients that raise concerns about potential health risks with prolonged or excessive use. Consumer apprehensions about the safety of certain repellents can restrain market growth. Insecticides like permethrin in some repellents can affect non-target insects and animals, potentially disrupting ecosystems. Hence, mosquito repellents' health and safety concerns and adverse effects impede the market's growth.
