Mosquito repellent is a chemical substance applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces, which stops mosquitoes from landing or climbing that surface. Mosquito repellents are bifurcated into two chemical classes, namely, synthetic chemicals, such as N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), picaridin and plant-derived oils, such as oil of lemon eucalyptus and oil of citronella.It refers to aerosols available in cans with a pump, which are both body worn and non-body worn. These are used to repel mosquitoes by spraying the repellent in the air and can be effective up to 8-10 hours.
Nowadays, body worn mosquito repellent sprays have also been adopted, which are water based and include plant extracts and various aromatic oils.Currently, the market is trending with sprays based upon herbal ingredients, which is skin friendly and lasts longer than chemical-based sprays. Sprays are highly adopted in North America and Europe, owing to their high-performance efficiency of the spray mosquito repellent products. In LAMEA and Asia-Pacific, growing health consciousness is expected to boost the demand for mosquito repellent sprays. Moreover, manufacturers nowadays are focused on high-quality packaging and attractive marketing & promotional strategies, which drive the growth of the mosquito repellent market. However, presence of toxic chemicals, such as DEET, in various mosquito repellent products cause ill effects on health, which are likely to restrain the growth of the spray mosquito repellent market.
Increase in penetration of various online portals in developing regions and rise in number of offers or discounts, attract the consumer to purchase spray mosquito repellent through online channel. Moreover, online sales channel has increased the consumer reach, owing to which it has evolved as a key source of revenue for many companies. Furthermore, the online sales market is expected to expand in the near future due to rapid growth in online and mobile user customer bases in emerging markets. In addition, increase in e-commerce sales, improvements in logistics services, ease in payment options, and the facility to enter in new international markets for major brands further boost the growth of the spray mosquito repellent market.
Mosquitoes transmit a number of diseases, such as yellow fever, dengue, west nile virus, malaria, and zika virus, which are responsible for a significant number of fatalities worldwide. Due to the unexpected outbreak of the Zika virus in 43 countries, the market for mosquito repellents has recently experienced a surge in demand. In 91 countries, malaria is common, and 40% of the world's population is at risk, according to the WHO. Also, according to the WHO, an infection that starts with a mosquito bite results in roughly 2 million fatalities each year. Hence, the growth in illnesses brought on by mosquitoes is a major factor driving the market for mosquito repellent.
Due to an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, the earth's average temperature has been steadily rising over the past several years and is expected to continue to climb in the future. The ideal circumstances for mosquito breeding and increased activity are provided by hot temperatures. In some areas, it also provides a humid and damp climate, which helps such areas' populations grow. An increase in global warming would have a direct influence on the number of mosquitoes, which would increase the need of mosquito-repelling treatments.
With rising incomes and levels of literacy, the world's population is achieving better lifestyles. As a result, there are more people concerned about their health, which has raised knowledge of the numerous diseases spread by mosquitoes. Both urban and rural residents take precautions against mosquito-borne diseases, such as removing standing water, swamps, and marshes, and using spray mosquito repellents. Due of different negative effects brought on by repellents containing DEET, customers increasingly favour repellents based on natural ingredients more often.
However, the spray mosquito repellent industry would be impacted by users' growing understanding of the chemicals employed in these products, which would then influence consumers' preferences in favour of repellents made with herbal substances. The majority of synthetic insect repellents that contain dangerous substances including diethyltoluamide, allethrin, and dimethyl phthalate no longer effectively deter mosquitoes. Also, they are bad for the environment and people. Some of the most frequent negative effects of inappropriate repellent usage are allergic response and skin irritation. Allethrin is hazardous and damaging to the nervous system, respiratory system, skin, and eyes. The market for spray mosquito repellent is predicted to expand slowly due to all of the aforementioned factors involving dangerous chemicals in repellent solutions.
More chemicals than allowed are present in fake spray insect repellents, which are widely available on the market. Additionally, because the relevant authorities are not supervising the industry, many spray mosquito repellent manufacturers create bogus goods and utilise excessive amounts of chemicals, which can result in serious illnesses like cancer, windpipe disorders, birth deformities, and pregnancy issues. The selling of the current original spray mosquito repellent brands in these economies is hampered by this problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that manufacturers may use a maximum of.03 percent the active substance in mosquito coils to repel but not kill the leech.
On the contrary, spray mosquito repellents contain toxic ingredients like DEET that can cause breathing difficulties, skin rashes, and other health problems. Also, children and pregnant women should avoid breathing the smoke that is released when the mosquito coil is burned. With the rise in health risks associated with such chemical-based insect repellents, people have begun shifting their preferences towards herbal-based spray products. The use of sprays, lotions, and oils based on neem, citronella oil, birch tree bark, and other plant-based substances has increased in developed nations. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the shift in consumer preference towards insect repellents made of herbs will accelerate market expansion.
The major market participants have continually committed themselves to putting into practise successful marketing tactics designed to increase sales of various spray insect repellents. With a variety of awareness campaigns including the provision of free samples, businesses frequently become involved in raising public awareness. A few businesses, like Godrej, specifically targeted moms to increase sales of the "Good Knight" brand through advertising and instill fear in their hearts about their kids contracting a mosquito-borne sickness. This has led to an upsurge in the sales of numerous mosquito-bite prevention treatments worldwide. Future demand for spray mosquito repellents is anticipated to be driven by the effects of these creative marketing techniques.
The COVID-19 epidemic caused a drop in the spray mosquito repellent industry's growth rate, although recent years have seen a deviation as consumers have become more picky about the goods and services they buy. Because their income is uncertain, consumers have decided to spend less money on goods and services. As a result, during the pandemic, spray mosquito repellent sales have fallen. The growth of the spray mosquito repellent business around the world has been slightly hampered by the new coronavirus outbreak.
