The Global Pet Insect Repellent Market size is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.0% CAGR during the forecast period.
Spot-on treatments allow for targeted repellent application directly to the pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades or along the back. This targeted approach ensures that the repellent is applied precisely where needed, maximizing its effectiveness and minimizing potential waste or overapplication. Hence, the Spot-on treatments segment captured $880.6 million revenue in the market in 2023. Spot-on treatments offer a highly efficient and effective method of insect control for pets. The concentrated formulation is applied directly to the pet’s skin, absorbed and distributed through the skin’s natural oils, providing long-lasting protection against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other pests.
Pet owners are increasingly educated about the risks of vector-borne diseases transmitted by insects like fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and flies. These diseases range from annoying skin irritations to life-threatening illnesses like Lyme disease and heartworm. Pet owners recognize the need to protect their pets during these outdoor adventures, driving the demand for effective insect-repellent solutions. Thus, growing pet health and safety awareness drives the market’s growth.
Furthermore, the overall increase in pet ownership globally means more pets are susceptible to insect-borne diseases. With a larger pet population, there’s a greater need for insect repellents to protect these animals from pests like fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and flies. Many enjoy indoor and outdoor activities as pets become more integrated into their owners’ lives. This lifestyle exposes them to a wider range of pests and increases the need for effective insect repellents to prevent bites and infestations. Therefore, an increase in pet ownership and humanization is driving the growth of the market.
However, Pets, like humans, can have allergic reactions or sensitivities to certain chemicals commonly found in insect repellents. Ingredients such as pyrethroids, DEET, and permethrin, which are effective at repelling insects, can cause skin irritation, itching, rashes, or even more severe allergic reactions in some pets. This risk of adverse reactions limits the range of ingredients that manufacturers can use in pet insect repellent formulations. Hence, pet sensitivity and allergies are hindering the growth of the market.
