Household insecticides are substances designed to kill or control pests within homes, targeting creatures like cockroaches, houseflies, and mosquitoes. These insecticides come in various forms and are commonly used indoors to manage pest-related issues.
The primary product types of household insecticides include sprays, vaporizers, mosquito coils, baits, and other formulations. Sprays, for instance, are liquid formulations applied using aerosol cans or trigger pump sprayers. These insecticides are formulated for specific pest control purposes, such as mosquito and fly control, rodent control, termite control, bedbugs and beetle control, among others. The compositions of these products can be natural or synthetic. They are packaged in different sizes, categorized as small (50-200 ml), medium (200-500 ml), and large (500 ml and above) packs. They are distributed through various channels, including online platforms, hypermarkets, supermarkets, drug stores, convenience stores, neighborhood stores, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are affecting the household insecticides market by increasing costs of imported active ingredients, packaging materials, propellants, and chemical intermediates. Consumer goods manufacturers in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are raising product prices and impacting affordability in mass markets. However, they are also encouraging local sourcing of raw materials, regional manufacturing expansion, and development of natural and bio-based insecticide alternatives.

The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban population growth, rising awareness of household hygiene, increased incidence of vector-borne diseases, expansion of retail distribution networks, growth of synthetic insecticide formulations.
The household insecticides market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing preference for eco-friendly pest control products, rising demand for child-safe formulations, expansion of online retail channels, growing adoption of integrated pest management, increasing innovation in natural insecticide solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for plant-based insecticides, rising adoption of low-toxicity household solutions, growing focus on mosquito-borne disease prevention, expansion of convenient home-use formats, enhanced emphasis on indoor hygiene.
The increasing prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases is expected to drive the growth of the household insecticides market. Mosquito-borne diseases, caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes, include illnesses such as malaria. The rising prevalence of these diseases creates significant demand for household insecticides, as spraying insecticides indoors helps reduce mosquito bites and prevent the spread of infections. For instance, in January 2023, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based government agency, mosquito-borne diseases cause over 700,000 deaths annually, affecting humans and many other land mammals. Therefore, the growing prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases is boosting the household insecticides market.
Growing hygiene and sanitation concerns are also driving the household insecticides market. Hygiene and sanitation concern refers to maintaining clean and healthy living environments and implementing practices and products to prevent disease spread. Household insecticides play a key role by controlling pests that transmit diseases and cause health issues. They are used to kill insects such as mosquitoes, rats, ants, and cockroaches on surfaces or clothing to limit infestations. For instance, in July 2023, according to UNICEF, a US-based humanitarian organization, an estimated 1.4 million people, including nearly 400,000 children under five, die each year from preventable diseases linked to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), including diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, soil-transmitted helminths, and undernutrition. Therefore, heightened hygiene and sanitation concerns are driving the household insecticides market.
Major companies in the household insecticides market are introducing advanced products with next-generation technologies to increase market revenue. These products leverage scientific innovations to effectively target and manage household pests. For instance, in March 2023, Mortein, an India-based household insecticide company, launched Mortein Smart+, a scientifically advanced liquid vaporizer. With an improved insect-repellent formulation, Mortein Smart+ provides extended mosquito protection for up to two hours after turning off. To demonstrate its efficacy, Mortein conducted an experiment simulating a mosquito attack at a PVR Cinemas theater, with the screen protected using the new Smart+ technology. The demonstration highlighted the product's superior performance, offering enhanced protection for families.
