Household Insecticides Global Market Report 2024

The global household insecticides market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.59 billion in 2023 to $16.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to increased concerns about pest-related health issues, urbanization and population density, a rise in vector-borne diseases, heightened consumer awareness and education, changing lifestyles and hygiene standards, the availability of affordable and accessible products, climate conditions favorable to pests, and innovations in product formulations in the pest control industry.

The global household insecticides market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.49 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to escalating concerns regarding emerging diseases, the development of eco-friendly insecticides, a growing preference among consumers for do-it-yourself (DIY) pest control, the impact of climate change on pest behavior, a heightened focus on child and pet safety, increasing investments in research and development, and a preference for long-lasting residual formulations. Major trends expected in this period include the use of eco-friendly and natural ingredients, technological advancements in pest control methods, the development of multi-functional products, regulatory emphasis on safety, the provision of customized pest management solutions, the globalization of pest threats, the utilization of social media and digital marketing, and innovation in product formats.

The household insecticides market is set to witness significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria, pose a considerable health risk, with the World Health Organization reporting 619,000 malaria deaths in 2021. The demand for household insecticides is expected to rise as these products play a crucial role in preventing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Spraying insecticides indoors effectively reduces mosquito bites, contributing to the overall effort to control and combat such diseases. The persistent threat of mosquito-borne illnesses creates a substantial market demand for household insecticides.

The growth of the household insecticides market is further fueled by increasing concerns regarding hygiene and sanitation. Hygiene and sanitation are paramount for maintaining clean and healthy living environments, and household insecticides play a vital role in addressing pest-related challenges. Controlling pests, such as mosquitoes, rats, ants, and cockroaches, is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure overall well-being. The link between inadequate WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) services and preventable diseases underscores the importance of effective pest control. With 1.4 million annual deaths attributed to preventable diseases, the demand for household insecticides as a hygiene and sanitation solution is on the rise.

Product innovation emerges as a key trend driving growth in the household insecticides market. Major companies are focusing on introducing innovative products that align with evolving consumer preferences and sustainability goals. SC Johnson's launch of the STEM range exemplifies this trend, featuring plant-based pest control products powered by botanical extracts. These products offer effective pest control while being safe for humans and pets, emphasizing a commitment to eco-friendly solutions. This trend reflects a broader industry shift towards more sustainable and scientifically advanced formulations, meeting the demand for effective yet environmentally conscious household insecticides.

Major companies in the household insecticides industry are leveraging next-generation technologies to introduce advanced products and drive market revenues. The launch of Mortein Smart+, a scientifically advanced liquid vaporizer by Mortein, exemplifies this approach. The product boasts an improved insect repellent formulation, providing extended mosquito protection even after turning off. The incorporation of cutting-edge scientific advancements in insecticides enhances their efficacy, contributing to better pest management. As companies continue to invest in technology-driven solutions, the household insecticides market is expected to witness sustained growth, meeting the evolving needs of consumers for enhanced pest control solutions.
