Body Worn Insect Repellent Market Outlook (2022-2032)

The valuation of the global body worn insect repellent market is US$ 464 million for 2022 and is likely to reach US$ 975 million by 2032-end, with demand predicted to increase rapidly at a CAGR of 7.7% through 2032.

The top 5 body worn insect repellent manufacturers in the world accounted for more than 31% of the market share in the year 2021.

As per the research report that has been published by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, on the body worn insect repellent market, historically, between 2016 and 2021, the value of the industry increased at 7.2% CAGR. Tanzania, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Brazil held a noticeable share of the global market during this period.

Rising demand for these repellents is due to increasing cases of viral diseases such as chikungunya, dengue, malaria, and others across many regions of the world. Body worn insect repellents generally include products that are worn on the body and provide protection against microbes and insects that cause harmful diseases. Insects are hosts of different diseases and carry microbes that contaminate the body of human beings.

Rising concerns about the increase in harmful diseases spread by insects are likely to drive the growth opportunities for body worn insect repellent producers over the coming years. In addition, consumers are becoming more inclined to use these repellents owing to the respiratory problems that are caused because of liquid machines and the vapor of coils.

Many people have become allergic to the smell of coil vapors, thus proving beneficial for the repellent market. These repellent products are also generally considered more efficient as compared to other options that are available in the market.

Further, increasing consumer engagement in different outdoor activities such as camping, traveling, hiking, and others is also likely to increase the demand for insect repellents as the human body is more prone to infections during such activities.

Key home insecticide market players are taking initiatives and adopting strategies to launch products that are skin-friendly and chemical-free (DEET free). These newly launched products are attracting a wide consumer base due to the increasing inclination of the global population to use products that come with natural ingredients.

Users across the world are relying on insect repellent products to reduce the potential danger of insect-borne diseases. This factor is likely to propel the demand for these products in the global market in the years ahead.

  • In its recently published research report, Fact.MR has estimated that the revenue of the global market is likely to increase 2.2X from 2022 to 2032.
  • Demand for body worn insect repellents that are plant-based is predicted to accelerate at a significant rate.
  • The emergence of COVID-19 around the world negatively impacted the demand for insect repellents; however, the long-term forecast is expected to be good, majorly for oil and creams.

Rising Awareness about Availability of Body Worn Insect Repellents

People from developing countries are becoming more aware related to their healthcare. In addition, the growing literacy rates of the regional population to choose high-quality insecticides is also likely to propel the demand for these repellents in recent years.

Community service organizations, government agencies, and NGOs are constantly taking efforts to increase public awareness related to the importance to maintain a disease-free environment and cleanliness.

People are less tolerant of insects and pests in their environment. These factors result in increased health consciousness and are projected to stimulate demand for these body worn insect repellents.

Increasing Initiatives by Government & Non-Government Organizations

At present, various non-government organizations (NGOs) and government organizations are involved to raise awareness among the rural population and the general public. Many campaigns are organized by these bodies to make people aware of the consequences of a lack of hygiene skills and poor waste management.

Companies serving in the industry of body worn insect repellents are putting efforts to raise awareness about the diseases that are caused due to insects.

Stringent Government Regulations Can Hamper Sales of Body Worn Insect Repellents

People are gaining awareness related to insect-borne diseases in recent years owing to the rising number of campaigns. At the same time, government agencies are also prepared to accept only registered and licensed insect repellent products.

Some regulations are imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These regulations are related to the monitoring of the market goods before receiving the qualified mark. Local players need to comply with these regulatory requirements to transfer their goods at larger scales.

These stringent regulations are predicted to result in the generation of a difficult environment for local and small businesses. These factors are further estimated to restrict the growth opportunities for the market of body worn insect repellents in the coming years.

Around 3.1 million cases of dengue were reported in this region in the year 2019. This data is near about 20.1% higher compared to the data available in the report of the year 2015.

Sales avenues in the regional market are projected to increase with rising spending on body-worn repellent products in regional countries like Canada and the U.S. Further, the regional market might grow with growing consumer awareness and increased prevalence of the diseases that are vector-based in the U.S.
