The Insect Repellent Market is estimated at USD 4,391 million in 2023. Further, the market is expected to grow from USD 4,797 million in 2024 to USD 9,403 million in 2031 at a CAGR of 10.1%.
Insect Repellent Market Market Overview
Insect repellents are products designed to protect humans from the bites of harmful insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas by repelling insects or rendering them unable to bite. Repellents affect an insect's senses such as smell and taste to prevent it from finding a human or animal host. Insect repellents, a sub-category of the insect pest market is the primary essential in areas where insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Chikungunya, and the Zika virus are prevalent, as a prevention or defense system.
Insect repellents come in various types as Clip-on products and Spatial repellents apart from the basic repellents applied to the skin. These products are available in different forms including sprays, lotions, creams, and wearable devices catering wide requirements of customers. Insect repellents are manufactured using both natural and synthetic active ingredients. The efficiency or the length of protection of the repellent will be based on the concentration of the active ingredient. There are guidelines, regulations, and certifications on insect repellents owing to the topical use of the product. DEET, picaridin and IR3535 are the common ingredients in insect repellents registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States. Regional controlling bodies are monitoring repellent formulations across the globe for safety and functionality.
Latest Trends in Insect Repellent Market
Surging Demand for Natural and Organic Products:
There are two major factors leading to the burgeoning demand for natural ingredients in insect repellent formulation. First is the potential health hazard with the application or inhalation of synthetic chemicals such as DEET used in traditional insect repellents. Hence, an increasing number of customers are seeking safer and more sustainable alternatives. Another factor driving the momentum is the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability. The potential threat of chemical insecticides on ecosystems by contaminating water and air is discouraging the use of insect repellents without sustainability tags.
In March 2023, P&G’s Zevo announced the release of its new On-Body Mosquito + Tick Repellents that provide odorless, non-sticky, and complete protection against mosquitos and ticks for up to 8 hours. The active ingredient IR3535 used in the new product is inspired by a naturally occurring amino acid. This increasing consumer interest in more naturally derived repellents is encouraging research to demonstrate the effectiveness of various essential oils as mosquito repellents. Natural insect-repellent ingredients including citronella, geranium, peppermint, and soybean oil are deemed safe but have not been approved for effectiveness by the EPA.
Driving Factors
Technological Developments Aiding Product Improvement:
Insect repellent manufacturers are exploring the use of technology to improve effectiveness and impart desired qualities to make the product more efficient, harmless, convenient to use, and environmentally friendly. Increasing investment in research and development to improve on key consumers' complaints of greasy feel on skin and the strong odor associated with their insect repellents, is a key driving factor triggering the growth of the market once achieved.
New technologies are also being developed to experiment with new formulations of DEET that are less greasy and have a more pleasant scent. Extended protection with an efficient mix of synthetic and natural ingredients and limited DEET is another significant area of innovation the companies are working on. There are also products that, which can provide more extended protection against a broader range of insects. Nanotechnology is the latest area the Insect repellent manufacturers are exploring, where nanoparticles are incorporated into sprays or lotions to create a barrier that is too small for insects to penetrate. This technology has the potential to provide more effective protection against smaller insects like sandflies and midges, which are difficult to repel using traditional methods.
Market Challenges
Alternative Pest Control Methods:
In addition to insect repellents, several other methods of insect pest control can be effective in managing and reducing harmful insect populations. Biological control, physical control, sterilization, and genetic control are key in the insect pest control market. Pheromone traps, insect growth regulators, and Second-Generation Green Products are being researched to reduce insect population. The use of natural predators, parasites, pathogens and sticker panels that attract and kill various species of flying pests is another significant method. Nanotechnology is also being researched for advanced insect management where formulations using nanomaterials are being developed.
Companies such as Rentokil are setting up separate innovation hubs to focus on R&D activities for new pest control technologies. Most companies are focusing on innovative products and solutions for pest control along with prevention, remote monitoring, and communicating valuable information for pest management. Any disruptive technological advancement in these alternative technologies rolling out an efficient and economical solution than repellents can potentially hamper the insect repellent market.
