Growing awareness of mosquito-borne diseases, rising popularity of mosquito repellent clothes, and emergence of eco-friendly repellents are boosting the South Korea mosquito repellent market development
Date | Information |
July 2023 | The U.S. EPA registered a new mosquito repellent product called AM 601 Pod, containing transfluthrin. This wax pod can repel mosquitoes in outdoor areas for up to 24 hours, offering an additional tool for mosquito protection. |
July 2023 | The CDC advised using repellents containing 20% or more DEET for protection against ticks and mosquitoes in South Korea. Other effective ingredients include picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, IR3535, and 2-undecanone for preventing mosquito bites. |
January 2023 | Researchers developed novel mosquito repellents that outperform DEET, offering longer protection and pleasant scents. Picaridin is highlighted as an effective alternative to DEET, with longer-lasting protection and no odour or damage to items. |
May 2022 | The "Zero Mosquito Campaign" was started by Henkel Korea to increase public awareness of the risks posed by mosquitoes in South Korea. With a portion of the proceeds going to vulnerable populations afflicted by mosquito-borne illnesses, this initiative sold limited edition repellents online. |
Trends | Impact |
Increasing demand for natural and organic products | Growth of natural and organic mosquito repellents, such as essential oils, herbal extracts, and plant-based sprays, which are perceived as safer and more eco-friendly by consumers. |
Rising popularity of wearable devices | Introduction of wearable devices, such as bracelets, patches, and stickers, that emit sound waves, ultraviolet light, or heat to repel mosquitoes. These devices are convenient, portable, and can be worn on the body or attached to clothing. |
Growing awareness of mosquito-borne diseases | Consumers are now more aware of the dangers of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria, and Zika virus, and are willing to invest in quality products. This trend is increasing the demand of effective and reliable products that can prevent mosquito bites and reduce the risk of infection. |
Innovation and product differentiation | This trend is driving the growth of new and innovative products that offer multiple functions, long-lasting effects, or smart features, such as mosquito repellents with skin care, fragrance, or sunscreen benefits, mosquito repellents with 12-hour protection, or mosquito repellents with Bluetooth connectivity, app control, or voice assistance. |
Outdoor activities and sports are more enjoyable in the hot weather, but it also makes summer diseases more prevalent. Some of the most serious infections that can happen in the summer are Malaria, Dengue, Zika, Yellow Fever, Chikungunya viruses, and Japanese encephalitis, which are spread by mosquitoes. Some of their symptoms are fever, headaches, and vomiting, and they can cause a coma or even death in severe cases. To prevent these diseases, demand for mosquito repellent is growing in South Korea.
Furthermore, mosquito-repellent fabrics are being introduced in the country to cater to the consumer’s demand and it has positively impacted the South Korea mosquito repellent market outlook. The first fabrics that repel mosquitoes and bugs were made in Korea by Dong Hwan Co. Ltd in 2016. The bug-repellent fabrics are generally made with permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide that is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organisation. The fabric also protects the face from insect bites, because permethrin has a 60-centimetre range of effect. Such clothing is much preferred by people who do a lot of outdoor activities and now several premium clothing brands such as Burberry, Marc Jacobs, and GAP use these processed fabrics in their clothing range.
In addition, the rise of natural and eco-friendly mosquito and bug repellents will drive the growth of mosquito repellent market in South Korea. For instance, alkaloids, phenol compounds, and terpene compounds are some of the many components found in patchouli plants, which are used in repellent lotions because it is harmless for humans and the environment. A few of the other most preferred natural mosquito repellent oils in South Korea are eucalyptus oil and citronella oil, which can increase the South Korea mosquito repellent market value in future.
