The household insecticides market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing preference for eco-friendly pest control products, rising demand for child-safe formulations, expansion of online retail channels, growing adoption of integrated pest management, increasing innovation in natural insecticide solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for plant-based insecticides, rising adoption of low-toxicity household solutions, growing focus on mosquito-borne disease prevention, expansion of convenient home-use formats, enhanced emphasis on indoor hygiene.

The increasing prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases is expected to drive the growth of the household insecticides market. Mosquito-borne diseases, caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes, include illnesses such as malaria. The rising prevalence of these diseases creates significant demand for household insecticides, as spraying insecticides indoors helps reduce mosquito bites and prevent the spread of infections. For instance, in January 2023, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based government agency, mosquito-borne diseases cause over 700,000 deaths annually, affecting humans and many other land mammals. Therefore, the growing prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases is boosting the household insecticides market.

Growing hygiene and sanitation concerns are also driving the household insecticides market. Hygiene and sanitation concern refers to maintaining clean and healthy living environments and implementing practices and products to prevent disease spread. Household insecticides play a key role by controlling pests that transmit diseases and cause health issues. They are used to kill insects such as mosquitoes, rats, ants, and cockroaches on surfaces or clothing to limit infestations. For instance, in July 2023, according to UNICEF, a US-based humanitarian organization, an estimated 1.4 million people, including nearly 400,000 children under five, die each year from preventable diseases linked to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), including diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, soil-transmitted helminths, and undernutrition. Therefore, heightened hygiene and sanitation concerns are driving the household insecticides market.

Major companies in the household insecticides market are introducing advanced products with next-generation technologies to increase market revenue. These products leverage scientific innovations to effectively target and manage household pests. For instance, in March 2023, Mortein, an India-based household insecticide company, launched Mortein Smart+, a scientifically advanced liquid vaporizer. With an improved insect-repellent formulation, Mortein Smart+ provides extended mosquito protection for up to two hours after turning off. To demonstrate its efficacy, Mortein conducted an experiment simulating a mosquito attack at a PVR Cinemas theater, with the screen protected using the new Smart+ technology. The demonstration highlighted the product’s superior performance, offering enhanced protection for families.
