Rising concerns about vector-borne diseases
One of the major factors boosting the demand of the global household insecticides market include the rising incidences of vector-borne diseases. Vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all kinds of infectious diseases resulting in more than 700,000 deaths every year. A primary threat around the globe remains vector-borne diseases. Mosquitos being one of the major disease-carrying insects have gained serious attention in recent years with a high focus on developing measures to eradicate them. The gradual waning of DDT concentration and urbanization are the major reasons for growing mosquito and bed bug populations. Aedes aegypti is a tropical species of mosquito, which is responsible for spreading zika, dengue, and chikungunya. It is one of the major threats of disease transmission. Complex environmental and social factors influence the spread of these illnesses. As mosquitoes and flies carry pathogens, they are more likely to spread infections. Moreover, bedbugs can be seen in both sanitary and unsanitary locations, irrespective of cleanliness. They are primarily found in areas, like schools, nursing homes and daycare centers, offices, hospitals, hotels, and public transportation. The growth of these insects along with the awareness about the spread of diseases by these insects is driving the market for the household insecticides. People are becoming increasingly aware of the risks associated with vector-borne diseases, and during the forecast period, this is expected to result in a rise in the number of individuals buying household insecticides.
