The natural insect repellents market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.9 billion in 2024 to $2.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including government initiatives aimed at preventing vector-borne diseases, environmental protection policies that support eco-friendly products, an increasing consumer preference for toxin-free options, a rise in demand for child-safe and pet-safe repellents, and the growing popularity of sustainable and biodegradable products.

The natural insect repellents market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. This growth can be attributed to the rising prevalence of vector-borne diseases, the global expansion of health campaigns focused on disease prevention, a growing adoption of aromatherapy-based repellents, higher disposable incomes, and the expanding middle-class population. Key trends during the forecast period include advances in botanical extraction technologies, the development of long-lasting natural repellents, the introduction of multi-functional products, innovations in packaging for improved portability and convenience, and an increasing preference for organic and plant-based products.

The increasing prevalence of insect-borne diseases is expected to drive the growth of the natural insect repellents market. These diseases are caused by pathogens transmitted through the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. The rise in such diseases can be attributed to factors such as climate change, urbanization, deforestation, and higher global travel, which create more opportunities for disease-carrying insects to spread. Natural insect repellents offer a safe, eco-friendly, and non-toxic alternative to synthetic repellents, effectively lowering the risk of insect bites and the transmission of diseases. For example, in June 2024, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reported a significant rise in dengue cases in the EU/EEA, from 71 local cases in 2022 to 130 in 2023, and a sharp increase in imported cases from 1,572 in 2022 to over 4,900 in 2023. This growing incidence of insect-borne diseases is driving demand for natural insect repellents.

Leading companies in the natural insect repellent market are focusing on creating innovative products, such as mosquito-repellent sprays, which offer immediate protection against mosquito bites and help reduce the risk of insect-borne diseases. These sprays, available in aerosol or liquid forms, work by applying a protective layer of active ingredients to the skin or the surrounding area, preventing mosquitoes from biting. For example, in June 2023, Diptyque, a luxury fragrance brand from France, introduced a body spray with mosquito-repellent properties. This limited-edition summer spray combines essential oils known for their ability to repel mosquitoes, including lemongrass, geranium, and lemon eucalyptus, along with refreshing notes of neroli and orange blossom, offering both a pleasant fragrance and mosquito protection.

In October 2024, Envu, a US-based environmental science company, acquired In2Care, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of natural insect repellents, for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition strengthens Envu's mosquito management portfolio, allowing it to provide advanced, nature-positive solutions to address nuisance mosquitoes and combat vector-borne diseases.
