The pyrethroids market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the pyrethroids market has experienced significant expansion. It is projected to increase from $3.89 billion in 2024 to $4.09 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
The upsurge during the historic phase can be linked to escalated pest problems in agriculture, the transition from organophosphates to pyrethroids, urban growth, improved agriculture procedures, public health worries and the control of vectors.
The pyrethroids market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of pyrethroids is projected to experience robust expansion in the forthcoming years, reaching $5.22 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%.
The escalation during the prediction period is primarily driven by factors such as the rising demand for organic farming, the advent of innovative pest variants, extended public health initiatives, an excessive increase in agricultural practices, and heightened public awareness of insect-related illnesses. The forecast period will see significant trends such as advanced technological innovations in the formulation of pyrethroids, the introduction of biopesticides as a replacement for pyrethroids, precision and targeted agricultural practices, collaborative research and development efforts, and increased usage in non-agricultural contexts.
The proliferation of diseases transmitted by vectors is projected to fuel the pyrethroid market's expansion. Vector-borne illnesses are diseases instigated by pathogens and parasites, transmitted to humans via bites from infected arthropods like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Factors such as climate change, which increase the habitats for vectors like mosquitoes and ticks, causing them to prosper in new areas, attribute the escalation in vector-borne diseases. Moreover, urbanization, deforestation, and increased contact between humans and animals generate favorable conditions for disease transmission, intensifying the spread of these diseases. Pyrethroids, as synthetic pesticides, are extensively used to control the mosquito and tick populations that spread such diseases. For example, as per GOV.UK., a public sector information website developed by the Government Digital Service, 2004 cases of malaria were reported in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2023 after travelling overseas, in comparison to 1369 cases in 2022. Therefore, the increasing incidence of vector-born diseases is fueling the growth of the pyrethroid market.

In the sphere of the pyrethroids market, a major evolving trend relates to product innovations. Firms involved in the pyrethroids industry are leveraging novel technologies to uphold their influence within the marketplace. As a case in point, in August 2023, a chemical manufacturing entity based in Ankeny, Albaugh LLC, unveiled a new form of soybean insecticide named Afiado. This is an amalgamation of Acetamiprid and Bifenthrin and is aimed at curbing the issue of soybean stinkbugs, a pest known for their difficult nature to control, particularly in Brazil. The dedication of Albaugh towards agricultural novelty and sustainability is demonstrated in their creation of the Afiado pesticide. This provides cultivators with an innovative method to manage soybean stinkbugs and safeguard their crops. This newly introduced compound merges acetamiprid, a pyrethroid insecticide, and bifenthrin, an insecticide with a broad-spectrum, meant to combat a diverse range of crop pests.
