In recent years, Mosquito Borne Diseases (MBDs) have emerged as a serious public health concern in India. Mosquitoes are a real nuisance, leaving itching bite marks and troublesome due to disturbance while sleeping at night. The irritation caused by the bites can be quite distressing too particularly for children. At worst, mosquitoes transmit a range of potentially fatal diseases. In India, the most prominent diseases spread by mosquitoes are malaria, dengue and Chikungunya as well as Japanese B encephalitis. Use of mosquito repellents, protective clothing and mosquito nets are important measures of personal protection against mosquito borne diseases. Mosquito repellent incense sticks or agarbatti are also gaining popularity in keeping mosquitos away since these are easy to use, inexpensive and does not involve any harmful contaminants.

The mosquito repellent market is expected to register notable growth in the near future attributed to rise in incidence of mosquito-borne diseases and global warming, which facilitates breeding of mosquitoes. Other factors that drive the market are rising health awareness, government initiatives for mosquito control and affordable cost of repellents. Huge opportunities prevail for the world mosquito repellent market owed to rising demand for plant-based repellents and increasing penetration in untapped markets of rural regions. Various key market players coupled with NGOs and local governments have participated into improving the level of awareness amongst people residing in urban and rural areas against various mosquito borne diseases. The impact of rising awareness would foster the demand of mosquito repellent market owing to increased penetration levels.
