Global Mosquito Repellent Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

Mosquito repellants are substances that help people avoid mosquito bites by stopping mosquitoes from crawling and feeding on skin, clothing, or other surfaces. Commonly used ingredients in mosquito repellants include DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), IR-3535, p-menthol diol (PMD), etc. Mosquito repellants come in the form of creams, lotions, oils, and sticks, and are applied directly to the skin. They also come in the form of aerosol and pump spray products for skin and clothing treatments.

Advantages of mosquito repellents

Mosquito repellants have many advantages. Mosquito repellants consist of active and inert ingredients. The active ingredient is primarily responsible for the utility of the product, i.e. its effectiveness in preventing mosquito attacks on treated human skin and/or clothing. Inert ingredients are not chemically active. They are added to products to perform different functions such as fragrance, feel, and appearance, as well as substances to keep the product stable. DEET is the active ingredient in the most widely used insect repellants. According to the EPA, more than one-third of Americans use DEET-based insect repellants each year. More than 200 million people around the world use similar products. Concentrations of DEET range from about 5% up to 100%. Products containing 10% to 35% DEET provide adequate protection in most conditions. Picaridin is an effective alternative to DEET, providing long-lasting protection against mosquito bites, equivalent to a concentration of about 10% DEET. Compared to DEET, picaridin is virtually odorless, causes no skin irritation, and has no adverse effects on plastics. Other repellent ingredients include IR-3535, permethrin, and botanical repellents such as citronella, lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint oils. Studies have found that a mixture of different repellent ingredients is more effective than any one ingredient alone. Active ingredients in repellents typically make up around 5% to 30% of the final product.

The biggest benefit of mosquito repellent is that it provides instant protection against mosquitoes. They are not only effective at repelling mosquitoes but also flies and other insects. Second, mosquito repellents reduce the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes and can reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes can spread viruses that cause serious illness. About one-third of the U.S. population uses DEET each year to protect them from mosquito-borne diseases such as the West Nile virus, Zika virus, or malaria, as well as tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. While insect repellants can significantly reduce the risk of mosquito bites and mosquito-borne diseases, they do not guarantee complete prevention. It is important to use repellents in conjunction with other preventive measures such as wearing protective clothing, using bed nets, and eliminating mosquito breeding sites. Natural repellents release hardly any chemicals. Even if some chemicals are used, the emissions are very small and not very harmful to the body. Insect repellants are also manufactured with the safety of children and pets in mind. A high-quality mosquito repellent is harmless to the skin, the active ingredients used have been strictly tested for safety, and it will not cause any harmful allergies to the skin of consumers. Therefore, as the advantages of mosquito repellants are known to more people, the market size of mosquito repellents continues to expand.

Increased outdoor activities drive product upgrades

The prevalence of outdoor travel has promoted the vigorous development of the mosquito repellent market. With the improvement in living standards, people have a higher pursuit of quality of life and lifestyle, and outdoor play has become an important part of people's lives. Mosquito control is an important part of outdoor play, and the future development prospects of the outdoor mosquito repellent market will continue to improve. People's concept of mosquito control has changed from killing to repelling and preventing, and their need for the convenience and individualization of daily use of mosquito repellent products is becoming stronger and stronger. At present, electric mosquito repellent incense and mosquito repellent are mild, convenient, and personalized mosquito repellent products are gradually replacing traditional mosquito repellent products, promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the mosquito repellent industry. Consumers with different preferences present increasingly diverse and subdivided consumption demands, driving mosquito repellent companies to derive numerous subdivided categories according to different use objects and usage scenarios, showing a trend of differentiation. Enterprises can use consumption big data to segment the market, start with purchase frequency, consumption habits, usage scenarios, and other dimensions, accurately describe the characteristics of consumer behavior, and better grasp differentiated needs. In general, benefiting from factors such as the prevalence of outdoor travel and changes in user demand, the mosquito repellent industry continues to grow steadily.
