[198 Pages Report] The Household Insecticide Market size was estimated at USD 10.45 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 11.19 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.28% to reach USD 17.10 billion by 2030.
Household insecticide encompasses products and solutions designed to control or eliminate insects threatening human health, comfort, or property. Household insecticide includes various forms and applications such as aerosols, sprays, powders, repellents, traps, and baits for managing pests, including mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, flies, and other household insects. The increased urbanization and changing living conditions create suitable breeding grounds for insects, improving the prevalence of vector-borne diseases worldwide. Rising awareness about vector-borne diseases, including dengue fever and malaria, with government health initiatives promoting public awareness regarding insecticides has encouraged the demand for household insecticides. The issues associated with overuse or improper usage, stringent regulations aimed at reducing environmental damage, and potential health hazards from hazardous chemicals in insecticides negatively impact household insecticide usage. Moreover, the issues associated with the rapid growth of insecticide resistance in vectors create challenges for adopting insecticides. However, innovation in eco-friendly solutions, integrated pest management, and tailored product formulations addressing regional requirements or specific pest species are expanding the scope for household insecticides. In addition, technological advancements, including nanotechnology or smart release systems for improved efficacy and packaging innovations, are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the household insecticides market in the coming years.
Insect Type: Increasing prevalence of infectious disease spread by mosquitoes
Ant insecticides, including baits and gels, sprays, and dust formulations, are widely utilized on need-based preference. The primary solutions for cockroach infestations include baits, aerosol sprays, and gel formulations. Consumers prefer gel-based products as they provide long-term control with low odor profiles. Flies and moths are controlled using household insecticide products, including sticky traps and sprays. Mosquitoes pose significant health risks due to their role in transmitting infectious diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. The primary solutions for mosquito control are repellents, larvicides, and space sprays. As per need-based preferences, consumers opt for repellents in the form of lotions or sprays for personal protection. The primary solutions for rodent control include rodenticides and repellers.
Form: Increasing popularity of powdered granules for preventive measures against insects
Liquid insecticides are one of the popular choices among consumers due to their efficacy in controlling various pests such as ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and bed bugs. These insecticides usually come in concentrated forms and are diluted with water or applied directly onto the surfaces where insects are present. Powdered granules serve as an excellent preventive measure against crawling insects such as ants, silverfish, and cockroaches due to their residual effect on surfaces. They are sprinkled around the foundations of buildings or along pest entry points to create a barrier for insects. Sprays are commonly used for quick knockdown and immediate relief from flying insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and wasps. They are applied directly to the insects or the areas where they are known to breed.
Source: Growing demand for synthetic insecticides for maximum potency against insects
Natural insecticides are derived from plant-based materials that offer a more eco-friendly solution for controlling pests in the home. These products generally have fewer harmful effects on humans, pets, and the environment than their synthetic counterparts. Some popular natural pest control methods include essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, lemongrass, diatomaceous earth, pyrethrum, and neem oil. Citronella oil is widely recognized for its natural insect-repellent properties, particularly against mosquitoes, flies, and other biting insects. This essential oil works by masking scents that attract insects, making it complex for them to locate their target. Geraniol oil is an effective natural insecticide with a pleasant floral scent that exhibits strong repellent activity against many insects, including mosquitoes, flies, ants, ticks, and cockroaches.
On the other hand, synthetic insecticides contain chemically-engineered active ingredients designed for maximum potency against various pests. These products tend to be more effective at eliminating target insects but may pose potential health risks if used improperly or in excessive amounts. Hydroxyethyl isobutyl piperidine carboxylate (HEIP) is a synthetic compound developed as an alternative to traditional insecticides, including DEET (N, N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide). The primary advantage of HEIP is its low toxicity profile compared to other synthetic repellents, making it suitable for use in household insecticide products. DEET is a synthetic chemical compound widely used as an active ingredient in many insect-repellent products that protects against various insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers. Users who opt for synthetic solutions value fast-acting performance and long-lasting protection from pests.
Distribution: Wider adoption of offline distribution channels for personalized assistance before purchase
Offline distribution channels for household insecticides include supermarkets, hypermarkets, department stores, specialty stores, and drug stores. Consumers who prefer physical retail outlets value the ability to see and feel products before making a purchase decision. Additionally, they may benefit from personalized assistance offered by store staff. Online shopping for household insecticides has gained popularity among users seeking convenience, competitive pricing, and a broader range of products. Consumers can easily compare and contrast prices, read reviews, and have their purchases directly delivered to their homes.
