Mosquito Repellent Wristbands Market

Market Insights

Mosquitoes can transmit several diseases, such as malaria, the Zika virus, yellow fever, dengue, and West Nile virus, among others. A mosquito repellent wristband provides protection against mosquitoes since it contains mosquito-repellent chemicals that are widely utilized in spray or cream-based mosquito repellents. Wristbands are fast and easy to use, and they are easily worn by babies and children without the fear of hazardous consequences or side effects. In mosquito-repellent wristbands, a variety of natural and synthetic chemicals are used to prevent mosquito bites and mosquito-borne diseases.

The most widely used inorganic chemicals in the manufacture of mosquito-repellent wristbands include ethyl hexane diol, diethyl carbonate, diethyl phthalate, and N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). Also, several natural ingredients, such as lavender, lemon eucalyptus oil, soybean oil, and cinnamon oil, are used in herbal mosquito-repellent wristbands. Consumers increasingly prefer natural ingredient-based mosquito repellent wristbands in order to avoid problems such as allergies, skin rashes, and breathing ailments, among others.

Chemical-based mosquito repellent wristbands are those wristbands that have synthetic chemicals such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, etc., as an active ingredients. Over the past few years, chemical-based mosquito repellent wristbands have lost market share to natural ingredient-based mosquito repellent wristbands owing to the side effects of toxic chemicals such as DEET. Natural ingredient-based mosquito repellent wristbands are gaining popularity among buyers looking for a natural, waterproof, and less messy alternative to sprays or lotions. These wristbands often contain natural products such as essential oils.

Mosquito-repellent wristbands are a part of the pharmaceutical and healthcare range of products, and thus consumers tend to expect the availability of mosquito-repellent wristbands at pharmacy stores. Superior pharmacy chain owners such as Watsons, which has a chain of more than 100 stores globally, reported that the sales of mosquito repellent wristbands grew by more than 200% across all of its outlets. The pharmacy segment held the highest share of the market in 2017, and the dominant trend of this segment is expected to continue for the forecast period.

Departmental stores are a major part of initiatives taken by industry players to strengthen their market presence in different regions. Both international and domestic players have looked upon departmental stores as the primary sales channel. The establishment of pop-up stores has flourished the department store sector, resulting in increased market growth. The growing number of supermarkets and hypermarkets in developing countries will encourage mosquito repellent manufacturers to focus on supermarkets and hypermarkets to reach the masses, allowing the supermarket and hypermarket segment to grow at a reasonable rate during the forecast period. Factors such as the elimination of travel time and cost, comparison shopping, round-the-clock assistance, deals, discounts, and offers are the major aspects driving the e-tailers’ channel growth. Moreover, the rate of product searches online has surged significantly in recent years, offering huge business opportunities for this channel.

In 2017, Europe accounted for the highest market value share, followed by North America. For the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness a high growth rate due to the high demand for mosquito-repellent products and increased consumer disposable income, especially in China and India.

The key mosquito repellent wristband producers, developers, suppliers/dealers, and service providers are but are not limited to PARA’KITO, Mosrepel, Dabur, Kangdimedical, Kincho, Piramal Enterprises Ltd., and Kinven.

Based on product type, the global mosquito repellent wristbands market is categorized into the following segments:

• Chemical-based (DEET, picaridin, IR 3535, etc.)
• Natural Ingredient-Based (Lavandin Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Citronella Oil, Lemon Eucalyptus Geranium Oil, Pine Tree Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Peppermint Oil, Patchouli Oil)

Mosquito-repellent wristbands are currently available in both chemical and natural formulations. Various formulations of these repellents are available that differ in the amount of active ingredient present in the wristband. The active ingredient is the substance that actually repels the mosquito. The natural ingredient-based wristbands segment dominated the global mosquito repellent wristbands market in 2017 and accounted for the largest share of the total market.

Rising public health awareness, combined with high spending power in developed economies, has resulted in the global mosquito repellent wristbands market expanding in recent years. Health risks associated with the use of synthetic chemical-based wristbands due to the presence of chemicals such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, etc., have resulted in consumers’ preference for wristbands that are non-toxic and also environmentally friendly. Thus creating demand for more natural ingredient-based mosquito repellent wristbands.

Based on distribution channel, the global mosquito repellent wristbands market is categorized into the following segments:

• Departmental Stores
• Supermarkets and hypermarkets
• Pharmacy Stores
• e-Tailers
• Others (small retail stores, convenience stores, etc.)

Mosquito repellents are available in multiple forms and types, such as liquid, cream, lotion, spray, and bands. Mosquito-repellent wristbands help protect against mosquito bites that may carry viruses, such as the West Nile virus. These bands offer mosquito protection to people while performing other activities and also serve as an alternative to other mosquito repellents.

Mosquito-repellent wristbands are available in the retail market, which includes department stores, supermarkets, and e-tailers, among others. Department stores are retail establishments that offer a distinguished range of different product categories. These stores are a major part of initiatives taken by industry players to strengthen their market presence in different regions.

Hypermarkets are stores that house a wide range of products under one roof, allowing customers to complete their shopping needs in one trip. The growing number of supermarkets and hypermarkets in developing countries will encourage mosquito repellent manufacturers to focus on supermarkets and hypermarkets to reach the masses, allowing the supermarket and hypermarket segment to grow at a reasonable rate during the forecast period.

A wide assortment of mosquito repellent wristbands sold through manufacturer websites and other online specialty stores helps vendors increase their product visibility and reach.

Pharmacy stores are the largest segment of the market due to the presence of superior pharmacy chain owners like “Watsons.” Apart from Watson’s, other major stores, such as Unity Pharmacy, also reported higher sales and customer queries for mosquito repellent wristbands for pregnant women and children. This will further lead to pharmacy store market growth in the years to come.

Other distribution channels, like convenience stores, have limited supplies of wristbands since they are unable to offer discounts to consumers as compared to other channels. The major reason is economies of scale and less bargaining power with manufacturers.

Pharmacy stores are the prominent channel for the distribution of mosquito repellent wristbands and are expected to remain the most preferred channel for distribution throughout the forecast period.

Based on geographical distribution, the global mosquito repellent wristband market is segmented into the following categories:

In 2017, Europe accounted for the largest value share in the global mosquito repellent wristband market and was projected to grow at a CAGR of around 3% during the forecast period of 2018 to 2026. Asia-Pacific is poised to grow rapidly in the world mosquito repellent market owing to higher demand for mosquito repellent products in countries such as China and India. Additionally, the market is at a budding stage due to a lower level of health and hygiene consciousness, particularly in rural areas.

Recently, countries in America and Africa have witnessed a surge in demand for mosquito repellent products due to the outbreak of the Zika virus caused by the Aedes mosquito. Increasing demand for eco-friendly products such as mosquito repellent wristbands is offering a lucrative business opportunity for the players operating in the market. However, the extent of the penetration level of mosquito repellent wristbands prepared from organic and herbal ingredients is greater in developed markets such as North America and Europe. Rising literacy levels have further enhanced the demand for such high-end products. Promotional activities such as awareness campaigns run by industry players are expected to grow product demand in the years to come.
