Mosquito Repellent Market Dynamics:
Mosquitoes spread various diseases including yellow fever, dengue, West Nile virus, malaria, and zika virus, which are accountable for numerous deaths across the world. Recently the demand for mosquito repellent market propelled due to the sudden spread of the zika virus in 43 countries. According to MMR Report, malaria is prevalent in 91 nations while 40% of the world population is at risk. Nearly 2 million deaths occur from an infection due to mosquito bites every year. The market for mosquito repellent is highly driven by the rise in the number of cases of diseases caused by mosquitoes.
Demand for plant-based mosquito repellents is rising. For generations, pesticides have been used in traditional practice as personal protection against mosquitoes. The knowledge of traditional defensive plants gained through ethnobotany research is a valuable resource for the development of new natural products. Most plants contain compounds that help prevent attacks by herbivorous insects. The main function of these compounds is to ward off herbivorous insects, but many are also effective against mosquitoes. Essential oils and extracts from plants of the genus Citronella (Poaceae) are often used as ingredients in plant-based mosquito repellents. Citronella was originally obtained for use in perfumes. However, today, citronella is one of the most widely used natural repellents on the market and is used at a concentration of 510%. This factor is the major driver for the mosquito repellent market.
With the increased mosquito-borne disease, the global incidence of dengue has also increased 30-fold over the past 30 years, with up to 400 million people infected each year, one-quarter of whom are ill enough to be hospitalized. The mosquito Anopheles gambiae affects malaria and more than 200 million people each year in sub-Saharan Africa, killing more than 400,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa in 201. These factors are driving the demand and consumption of mosquito repellent products is expected to increase through the forecast period.
DEET, Cyfluthrin, Permethrin, and Pyrethroids are some of the most frequent pesticides used in insect repellents. DEET, or N, NDiethylmetatoluamide, is one of the most efficient mosquito repellents, and it also repels ticks. Skin blisters, seizures, memory loss, migraines, stiffness in the joints, shortness of breath, and skin irritation have all been related to high dosages of DEET. DEET has also been related to neurotoxicity, which can cause physiological and behavioural issues, particularly with motor abilities, learning, and memory. DEET can also breakdown slowly in the soil and pollute groundwater. Cyfluthrin is linked to neurotoxicity because it affects neuronal sodium and potassium ion channels. Loss of coordination, muscle tremors, and behavioural abnormalities are all possible outcomes. Consumers are put off by the use of such chemicals in mosquito repellents, therefore many opt for solutions with comparatively harmless active ingredients like picaridin and IR3535.
In the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Vietnam, and many other countries and regions, mosquito repellents are listed as pesticides. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) all include mosquito repellents in insecticides (UNEP). Under the Industry (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, the Central Insecticides Board (CIB) advises the Central Government and State Governments on technical concerns surrounding the manufacture of insecticides. In the same way, various countries have their own laws governing the manufacture, commercialization, and usage of insect repellents. These rules also require that products be tested within the country before they may be sold. These factors are expected to restrain market expansion throughout the forecast period.
