PYRETHROID MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Pyrethroid Market size stood at USD 2.11 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 2.91 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 3.65% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Pyrethroid Market size is projected at USD 0.72424 billion in 2025, the Europe Pyrethroid Market size is projected at USD 0.4969 billion in 2025, and the China Pyrethroid Market size is projected at USD 0.58809 billion in 2025.

Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic insecticides that are chemically similar to natural pyrethrins, which are derived from chrysanthemum flowers. They are widely used in agriculture, public health, and veterinary medicine for the control of various pests, including insects, mites, and ticks.

Pyrethroids work by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. They are effective against a wide range of pests and are generally considered to be safer and more environmentally friendly than many other insecticides. The growth of the pyrethroid market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for food security and the need to control vector-borne diseases.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand 

COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the pyrethroid market, with disrupted supply chains, decreased demand, and increased competition from alternative insecticides. The restrictions on movement and lockdowns in many countries have impacted the transportation and logistics of pyrethroids, leading to delayed shipments and a shortage of raw materials. This has resulted in higher prices and reduced availability of pyrethroids in some markets. Additionally, the economic downturn caused by the pandemic has led to a decrease in demand for pyrethroid market in some regions, particularly in sectors such as construction and tourism, which have been severely impacted by the pandemic. With reduced economic activity, the demand for insecticides has decreased, which has further contributed to the decline in demand. Furthermore, the increased focus on health and safety during the pandemic has led to a greater use of alternative insecticides that are perceived as safer and more environmentally friendly, such as biological and botanical pesticides. However, the market is expected to recover gradually as the pandemic subsides and economic activity picks up.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Demand from Agriculture to Fuel Market Growth

Pyrethroids are increasingly being utilised in agriculture to protect crops from insects and pests. The expanding worldwide population is pushing up demand for pyrethroid market in the agriculture industry. They are also employed to control mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects in the public health sector. The increased public health concern over vector-borne illnesses such as malaria and dengue is driving up demand for pyrethroids. The use of safer and more ecologically friendly pyrethroid formulations is becoming more popular. As a result, novel formulations that are less hazardous to non-target species and have a smaller environmental effect have been developed. These insectcides are under increased regulatory attention due to worries about their influence on human health and the environment. As a result, tougher restrictions and standards for the use of these insectisides in various applications have been developed.

• Regulatory activity: The U.S. EPA’s ecological risk mitigation package covered 23 pyrethrin/pyrethroid chemicals, leading to spray-drift and runoff mitigation measures.

• Global pesticide volume context: Total pesticide active-ingredient use in agriculture was 3.73 Mt in 2023, framing pyrethroids’ share in a multi-million tonne market.

DRIVING FACTORS

Adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Practices to Accelerate Market Demand

As a sustainable pest control method, integrated pest management (IPM) practices are gaining popularity. Pyrethroids are an important part of IPM programs because they work against a lot of bugs and pests. The developing populace and improving on dietary propensities have expanded the interest for food, prompting higher utilization of these insectisides in agribusiness to shield crops from irritations and bugs. Malaria, dengue fever, and the Zika virus are all vector-borne diseases that are becoming more common in many parts of the world. They are frequently used in public health programs to stop the spread of these diseases by controlling vectors.

Rise in Urbanization and Industrialization to Fuel Market Growth

The rise of cities and urbanization has made pest problems in residential and commercial buildings worse. In order to address these issues, pyrethroids are frequently utilized for indoor pest control which is further accelerating pyrethroid market growth.

• Efficacy & adoption: Pyrethroids show rapid knockdown and broad-spectrum control and have accounted for roughly 20% of pesticide sales in literature summaries, driving formulation demand.

• Crop protection needs: FAO reports pesticide use per cropland was ~2.40 kg/ha in 2023, supporting continued demand for effective insecticides like pyrethroids in intensive production regions.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Increase in Travel Taxes to Hinder Growth of Market

Pesticide resistance may develop as a result of prolonged and widespread use. Pest control with pyrethroids may become less effective as a result of this, necessitating the use of other methods. Physical, cultural, and biological controls are just a few of the other options for controlling pests. The demand may decrease as these alternatives become more popular and more effective.

• Regulatory constraints: EPA reregistration and mitigation efforts targeted 23 chemicals in the pyrethroid/pyrethrin group, increasing compliance requirements for manufacturers.

• Environmental concerns: Multiple peer-reviewed studies and regulatory reviews cite pyrethroid toxicity to aquatic invertebrates with measurable ecological endpoints — e.g., ecotoxicity findings across dozens of studies prompting mitigation.
