The increasing prevalence of insect-borne diseases like Zika virus, malaria, and Lyme disease has raised public awareness about the risks associated with insect bites. As a result, there is a growing demand for insect repellents that offer effective protection against these health threats. Consumers are now seeking reliable solutions to safeguard themselves and their families, especially when engaging in outdoor activities or traveling to regions with high insect activity.

Rapid Technological Advancements in Formulations and Delivery Systems: The insect repellent market has witnessed remarkable technological progress, resulting in the introduction of more efficient and user-centric solutions. Advanced formulations, such as microencapsulation, ensure a controlled and extended release of repellent agents, enhancing effectiveness. Moreover, wearable technologies have emerged as game-changers, with clothing infused with repellent properties offering a seamless and continuous shield against pests.

North America dominated the global insect repellent market accounting for a share of 9.5% in 2024. Climate change significantly drives the growth of insect repellents in North America. Rising temperatures extended warm seasons, and unpredictable weather patterns have led to an expansion of insect populations, particularly mosquitoes and ticks, into regions that were historically less affected. The prevalence of insect-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and dengue fever has heightened the demand for effective insect repellents. Governments and health organizations in North America actively promote the use of repellents to combat these health concerns.
