Market Insights & Analysis: India Mosquito Repellent Market (2024-30):

The India Mosquito Repellent Market size is valued at USD 496.13 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 789.92 million in 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 6.86% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-30. Climatic conditions in India are very suitable for mosquitoes to breed since the temperature and humidity are very high. The climatic features of India result in a tropical and subtropical environment that is highly susceptible to mosquito breeding, raising the number of mosquitoes within the country.

Apart from this, seasonal monsoon rains in most of the country's states are apt for overall mosquito breeding due to stagnant water conditions prevailing in many areas. Also, due to rapid urbanization and improper waste disposal and public health measures, water accumulates in different potholes, crevices, and areas. Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, etc., outbreaks are witnessed every year in almost all parts of the country. On the other hand, the development of mosquitos’ resistance against the existing insecticides and faulty sanitary conditions of the rural and urban settings in the country further increased the number of outbreaks of the disease. For instance,

• In 2023, the National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control reported approximately 2,89,235 cases of Dengue, which involves a huge number of populations across the country.

Consequently, people in India are becoming more conscious about the critical health effects of mosquito-borne diseases. Hence they are taking preventive measures before its occurrence, which has complemented mosquito repellent sales in the country.

Besides, the Government of India has been undertaking various programs on the control and management of mosquito-borne diseases as they are potential health hazards. Programs like NVBDCP, NMCP, etc. are fighting to control six vector-borne diseases viz., Malaria, Kala-azar, Lymphatic Filariasis, Dengue, Chikungunya, etc. Hence, the awareness that has been created so far by the effort is about the critical threats posed by the diseases spread by vectors. This increased demand for mosquito repellent is a precautionary measure taken by consumers. There are plenty of mosquito repellents available in the form of creams, lotions, sprays, traps, etc., that get deployed across various institutions like hospitals, schools, colleges, and even commercial settings. With consumers in the country being increasingly made aware of the mortal consequences of mosquito-borne diseases, increasing demand for mosquito repellants surges tremendously and drives the growth of the India Mosquito Repellant Market.

India Mosquito Repellent Market Driver:

Escalating Demand for Mosquito Repellents from Healthcare Institutions to Promote Market Growth- The hospitals, clinics, laboratories, etc., come to the very forefront of mosquito prevention and cure in the country and thus realize the importance of preventing mosquito breeding. Healthcare facilities are effectively recognizing the need for mosquito prevention strategies, thereby raising the demand for mosquito repellents in the sector. Healthcare facilities such as clinics, hospitals, path labs, etc., are therefore adopting mosquito preventives and repellents not only for staff and patients but also for visitors. As a result, the facilities have installed various mosquito-trapping lights, panels, etc. Moreover, hospitals and clinics also mounted the use of mosquito coils, lights, and aerosol to control mosquito infestation. In addition, the requirement has been increased by the presence of government and public stimulation. The government authorities in health institutions have been forcefully pursuing propaganda to eliminate mosquitoes in healthcare facilities. For Instance,

• In 2022, the National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) has formulated the operational guidelines for the healthcare facilities for the prevention of Ades mosquito in hospital settings.

In consequence, so many mosquito repellent sprays, etc., are extensively used within healthcare facilities to ensure that the facility remains safe for the working staff and patients admitted therein. Consequently, demand for mosquito repellents is rising dramatically within the healthcare sector, thereby fueling the India Mosquito Repellent Market.

Companies have been launching products with smart controls, which can be used in open windows and fully-lighted areas. Moreover, with the integration of IoT and AI, voice commands and one-button execution have also been developed in mosquito repellents to mitigate mosquito infestation in residential as well as commercial areas.

India Mosquito Repellent Market Challenge:

Organized Sector Companies Confronting Mounting Challenges from Counterfeit Mosquito Repellent Products- The surging demand for mosquito repellents all across the globe is leading toward higher inclusions of fake mosquito repellent products. With this increased number of fake products, companies in the organized sector were facing huge problems in selling their products. Most of the fake mosquito repellents contain a high number of chemicals that pose health risks to the skin. Further, hazardous chemicals in excess amounts in fake products result in respiratory problems and allergies among people. The Indian Government has made it mandatory for any household insecticide to be approved by the Central Insecticide Board (CIB) and industry organizations including Home Insect Control Association (HICA). However, fake mosquito repellents have been infiltrating the market without meeting the regulatory standards and therefore are a big menace to their original brands. Many of these counterfeits pass through proper scrutiny during regulation and thus do not necessarily conform to the necessary safety and efficacy standards. Owing to this, consumers have been facing health issues, eroding their trust in the original mosquito repellent products. All this in turn has resulted in the declining sales of original mosquito repellents, hindering the overall growth of the India Mosquito Repellent Market.

India Mosquito Repellent Market Trend:

Upsurge Adoption of Herbal-based Mosquito Repellent Products across the Nation - The need for more herbal-based mosquito repellents in India comes from health-related concerns, consumer preference toward all-natural treatment options, cultural trends, and improving environmental sustainability. This trend is most likely going to rise in the India Mosquito Repellent Market as consumers seek alternative, safe, and effective options in the years ahead in place of chemical-based products. In addition to this, there is a growing awareness of the possible health risks of chemical-based mosquito repellents. Many consumers across the country are concerned with the exposure to synthetic chemicals especially if they are used regularly. Therefore, the demand for herbal-based products is perceived as a safer & more environmentally friendly alternative. Owing to this, companies have been launching herbal and natural mosquito repellent products which is further driving the market growth. For Instance,

• In 2023, Herbal Strategi launched two herbal and certified ayurvedic aerosol mosquito & pest repellents. These new products are made with essential oils to provide consumers with a highly effective and non-toxic solution for keeping pests away.

Further, over the last few years, the Indian government and regulatory bodies have also been hailing their support for herbal and natural products. This has also included promoting Ayurvedic and herbal-based solutions in the healthcare and wellness space therefore enhancing the market for herbal-based mosquito repellents in the coming years and serving as a major market trend in the India Mosquito Repellent Market.
