CLEVELAND, January 12, 2021 / PRNewswire / – A new analysis by the Freedonia Group predicts that demand for home and garden insecticides will increase an average of 2.5% per year $ 1.5 billion in 2024, compounded by booming gardening amid the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. Insect control and insect repellant use continues to be aided by concerns about insect-borne diseases, which will help sustain the continuing need for insecticides:
- Endemic but rare insect diseases exist in the United States, and regular outbreaks of dangerous viruses tend to be widely publicized.
- Globalization and climate change also mean that overseas viruses occasionally gain a foothold in the United States.
- In recent years, the top insect-borne diseases of concern have been West Nile virus, Lyme disease, eastern equine encephalitis, and Jamestown Canyon virus.
While DEET remains the most widely used ingredient in insect repellants, DEET alternatives are rapidly gaining market share. In particular, the oil from lemon eucalyptus products has performed well in recent years and is expected to continue to grow rapidly. The strong health and environmental profile of lemon eucalyptus repellants makes them popular with children and in the garden.
Picaridin-based products have also become more common since their introduction in 2005. These products are popular because they are odorless and effective, although they tend to have a premium on DEET products and are less attractive than lemon eucalyptus oil to environmentally conscious customers.
