MOSQUITO REPELLENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The Mosquito Repellent market worldwide is expected to expand from USD 4.22 billion in 2025 to about USD 4.46 billion in 2026, achieving nearly USD 7.48 billion by 2034, progressing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the period 2025–2034.

Mosquito repellents function as substances that adhere to human bodies, alongside clothing items and locations to stop mosquito landings as well as prevent bites. The repellent procedure involves the addition of scents which make humans smell less appealing or using odors that mosquitoes dislike to stop their landings and feedings. The principal chemicals found in mosquito repellents are DEET as well as picaridin, and natural oils with citronella content. Interacting with mosquito repellents protects users against mosquito-caused illnesses such as malaria and dengue, and Zika virus due to the critical nature of outdoor mosquito areas.   

Mosquito repellents have progressed from traditional approaches to inventing new technological formulations which entered the market. Mosquitoes continue to spread multiple dangerous diseases to humans which resulting in worldwide annual fatalities reaching 500,000. The public health concerns have maintained perpetual demand for reliable repellent products across the market. The mosquito repellent market includes a diverse spectrum of solutions ranging from traditional chemical repellents up to plant-derived repellents and electronic insect-control devices, and products that have repellent capabilities integrated into their textiles. Advancing interest in green and chemical-free repellents is redefining market demand because it pushes scientists to develop new mosquito control methods.

Key Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Mosquito Repellent Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to Supply Chain Disruption During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Supply chain interruptions and manufacturing process disturbances caused by the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak created negative market effects on mosquito repellents. Raw material collection regarding botanical elements became challenging due to lockdown measures and transportation limitations, which affected the procurement of ingredients from particular geographic areas. The pandemic caused people to spend their money on essential health products for pandemic protection, which temporarily decreased the purchasing power for mosquito repellents throughout households. The pandemic-induced health awareness boost has raised vector-borne disease knowledge, so people now show stronger interest in protective measures that include using mosquito repellents.

LATEST TRENDS

Shift Toward Natural Ingredients and Technological Innovation to Drive Market Growth

The mosquito repellent market shows present-time developments through growing interest in plant-derived and natural product ingredients. People now choose botanical extracts with ingredients such as citronella and neem and eucalyptus, and mentholated chemicals instead of DEET chemical repellents because they want to eliminate safety risks and protect the environment. The research focuses on plant species Moringa oleifera and Mentha piperita as potential sources for mosquito-repellent properties since consumers are demanding natural formulations. Another significant trend occurs through technological advancements, which demonstrate the popularity of automated mosquito traps designed with sensors and Arduino-based systems because they are efficient and non-harmful to the environment.    

• In 2023, urban areas in India recorded over 94,000 dengue cases and nearly 100 associated deaths, increasing demand for repellents in both spray and cream formats.

• Globally, about 241 million malaria cases were reported in 2020, with more than 600,000 deaths—a scale that is pushing governments to expand public awareness and preventive product access.
