What Is The Driver Of The Natural Insect Repellents Market?

The rising incidence of insect-borne diseases is expected to propel the growth of the natural insect repellents market going forward. Insect-borne diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens transmitted to humans or animals through the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. Insect-borne diseases are rising due to factors such as climate change, urbanization, deforestation, and increased global travel, which expand the habitats and transmission opportunities for disease-carrying insects. Natural insect repellents are required for insect-borne diseases to provide a safe, eco-friendly, and non-toxic alternative to synthetic repellents, effectively reducing the risk of insect bites and disease transmission. For instance, in June 2024, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, a Sweden-based government agency, the EU/EEA reported 130 locally acquired cases of dengue in 2023, a significant increase from the 71 cases recorded in 2022. Imported dengue cases also saw a sharp rise, growing from 1,572 in 2022 to over 4,900 in 2023. Therefore, the rising incidence of insect-borne diseases is driving the growth of the natural insect repellents industry.
