The natural insect repellent market is expanding due to a shift in customer preference toward organic and herbal products, which is backed by government-funded initiatives.
The popularity of natural ingredient insect repellents with essential oils that produce a peaceful and refreshing environment is booming, resulting in increased demand for these products.
The efficiency of natural ingredient insect repellents in repelling mosquitoes and other insects is one of the primary challenges limiting market growth. Natural insect repellents made from plant extracts are extremely volatile and dissipate quickly when applied.
As a result, they are less effective than synthetic chemicals such as DEET. On the other hand, alternative chemical-based insect repellant products are also gaining traction.
