INSECT REPELLENT WIPES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global insect repellent wipes market size stood at approximately USD 0.44 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 0.47 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 0.79 billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2033.

An insect repellent wipe is a material that is applied to the skin or other surfaces to prevent insects (and other arthropods) from landing or climbing on them. Wipes with insect repellents aid in the prevention and control of insect-borne (and other arthropod-borne) diseases such as malaria, Lyme disease, dengue fever, bubonic plague, river blindness, and West Nile fever. Insects such as fleas, flies, and mosquitoes, as well as ticks, are common disease carriers (arachnids). Some insect repellents are insecticides (bug killers), but the majority simply repel insects and send them flying or crawling away. Almost all would be lethal at the median lethal dose, but being classified as an insecticide indicates death even at lower levels.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Caused Lockdown led in Upsurge of the Market Demand

The COVID-19 epidemic had a favourable impact on the insect repellent wipes market share worldwide, as insect repellents are seen as a home cleanliness and home care product. Furthermore, due to increased consumer awareness, demand for personal hygiene and home care products is likely to rise in the near future. Furthermore, manufacturers feel that the pandemic has increased customer awareness of the importance of maintaining personal and household hygiene to limit the risk of infection, which is predicted to become a trend in the long run.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Urbanization and Improvement in Living Standards to Uplift the Market Demand

With improving living standards, urbanisation, and population growth, the demand for mosquito repellents is always increasing, particularly in tropical areas of the region. Furthermore, the availability of a wide range of insect repellents, including mosquito repellents, at various price points has made them widely accessible and cheap to a vast customer base. Insect repellents made from natural components are becoming more popular. The use of such insect repellent wipes is growing in order to avoid problems such as skin rashes and allergies, among other things.

DRIVING FACTORS

Government Initiatives to Curb the Threat of Diseases will Boost the Market Growth

Throughout the projected period, the increased threat of diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, zika virus, and yellow fever is expected to raise demand for insect repellent wipes. Some of the primary causes that are likely to raise demand for insect repellents around the world are government programmes for disease prevention, rising health awareness among people, and the low cost of these products. The National Framework for Malaria Elimination was launched in 2016 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. In addition, the government unveiled the National Strategy Plan for Malaria Elimination, which outlined strategies for the following five years. Also, the introduction of numerous programmes such as Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan raised people's awareness of the need of hygiene and cleanliness, which boosted the insect repellent wipes market growth.

High Prevalence of Insect-Borne Diseases to Strengthen the Market Structure 

People are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of mosquito bites as the worldwide urban population becomes more health-conscious. Furthermore, as the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases increases in emerging countries, the rural population is growing more worried about health and hygiene. Vector-borne infections account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, according to a WHO research released in March 2020. Each year, these diseases kill around 700,000 people. Parasites, bacteria, or viruses can cause them. Numerous outbreaks of potentially fatal illnesses, including chikungunya, influenza, H1N1 virus, zika virus, and dengue, have occurred in the last decade, primarily spread by insect vectors. Given the rise in vector-borne diseases, there will be a greater need for and use of insect repellent wipes in the near future.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Greater Risk for Adverse Reactions to Hamper the Market Demand

Children may be more susceptible to adverse effects to repellents, in part due to their increased exposure. Children are especially vulnerable to accidental eye contact or ingestion. As with any chemical exposures, pregnant women should avoid repellent exposure if possible, as the foetus may be sensitive. Some experts also advise against using chemicals like DEET and sunscreen at the same time because it will increase DEET penetration. Additionally, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documented 14 to 46 cases of possible DEET-related seizures, including 4 deaths, in the DEET Reregistration Eligibility Determination (RED), stifling the expansion of the insect repellent wipes market share.

INSECT REPELLENT WIPES MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Asia Pacific Region to Lead the Market Growth with Rising Insect-Borne Diseases Coupled with Government Initiatives

As the most populous nation in the Asia-Pacific area with the highest per capita income, expanding consumer awareness, rising living standards, and inexpensive insect repellent prices, China represents the largest market for these products. This has led to an increase in their use in home goods. The combined effects of all these elements increase the product's sales. In addition, home pests like cockroaches, flies, termites, bed bugs, and ants are widespread throughout China. In China, households are increasingly using insect repellents in usable forms such sprays, vaporizers, chalks, powders, and others. The penetration of insect repellents into Indian homes has expanded as a result of increased household wealth, growing health concerns, and reasonably priced products in India. Such developments are expected to boost regional insect repellent wipes market share.
