Shifting Consumer Preference of Branded Home Care Products to Impact Consumption Trends

Consumer tastes are constantly altering as patterns of demand for products keep changing. The competitive scenario of the home care industry has transformed considerably due to major shift in consumer lifestyles toward brands and luxury consumer goods. Recent trends have altered the behavior of consumer buying, placing more emphasis on quality products. This factor has created great potential for different brand owners to create different types of new products.

People are likely to live in a different way of life these days, with consumption patterns varying from time to time. Higher-income consumers and younger generations are turning to online shopping for non-essential & essential items as it saves time and offers a wide variety of products. Therefore, this is expected to drive the global mosquito repellent market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Awareness Regarding Insect Repellents to Favor Market Expansion

The rise of insect-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, has made it necessary for consumers to use insect repellents. Mosquito-borne diseases are spreading worldwide. Dengue and malaria cases and deaths are unacceptably high and are rising in semi-urban and rural places. For instance, as per a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, approximately 14 million new cases of malaria occurred in 2020, with the highest number of cases and deaths in the new WHO Malaria Report since 2012.

Unsuitable Environmental Conditions to Augment Mosquito Repellent Demand

Temperature is the most important abiotic factor affecting insect growth. Climate change directly impacts insect population dynamics by altering incidence, reproduction, and mortality rates. Weather can also affect insect populations indirectly by altering the population, distribution, and physiology of host trees, with increasing temperatures exponentially raising insect metabolic rates. Therefore, inadequate environmental conditions, such as heavy rains and global warming, also led to mosquito problems, mounting the demand for mosquito repellents.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Allergic Reaction due to Mosquito Sprays and Coils to Hamper Sales

Products, such as sprays, vaporizers, and others, used to repel mosquitoes can be associated with health problems, including skin reactions such as rashes, swelling, itching, and eye irritation, and others. They can be harmful as they contain certain chemicals that can have adverse effects on skin over time. This reduces the demand for insect repellent products, thus hindering market growth.
