The global mosquito repellent market size was valued at $4.1 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach $6.0 billion by 2027 with a CAGR of 5.6% from 2020 to 2027. Mosquito repellent is a chemical substance applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces, which stops mosquitos from landing or climbing on that surface. Mosquito repellents are divided into two chemical classes, namely, synthetic chemicals, such as DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), picaridin and plant-derived oils, such as oil of lemon eucalyptus and oil of citronella. According to a study conducted by the U.S. national library of medicine, people reported different health problems such a breathing problem, itching in eyes, and headache after using mosquito repellents. Manufacturers are coming up with various products that have less harmful effect on humans. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the mosquito repellent market growth significantly during the forecast period.
The global temperature of the earth has continued to rise during the past few years and is expected to increase in the future, owing to increase in levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Hot temperature provides optimum conditions to the mosquitoes to breed and increases their level of activeness. It also provides damp and wet climate in certain regions, which also favors in their population’s multiplication. Thus, impact of rise in global warming would directly impact the growth of mosquito population, which would lead to an increase in the penetration of products designed to repel them. This would lead increased revenue growth for mosquito repellent market.
Toxic substances present in the mosquito repellents such as DEET causes skin rashes, breathing problems, and other health hazards. While, the smoke emitted from burning the mosquito coil is also poisonous for children and pregnant women.

Presently, people in the developed regions have started using neem-based sprays, creams, & oils; citronella oil; birch tree bark; and other plant-based ingredients. The change in the preference toward herb-based mosquito repellents is expected to garner the growth of the mosquito repellent market in the coming years. However, fake mosquito repellents are using more than permissible level of chemical substances, which has flooded the markets globally. Moreover, due to the lack of monitoring by the authority concerned, several manufacturers of mosquito repellent are producing fake products along with high overdose of chemical substances, which can cause deadly diseases such as cancer, affliction in windpipe, birth defects, and problems in pregnancy. This factor hampers the sale of the existing original mosquito repellents brands in these economies, thereby hampering the overall growth of mosquito repellent market

In addition, as per the WHO, nearly 2 million deaths occur from an infection due to mosquito bite every year.
