Dengue has emerged as the most prevalent and rapidly spreading vector-borne illness worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and this is the most crucial factor driving the market for insect repellents in Asia Pacific. Among the 3.5 billion individuals residing in dengue-endemic nations and susceptible to dengue fever, 1.3 billion live in regions within the 10 countries of the Southeast Asia (SEA) region.

All countries in this region, except for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, are considered dengue-endemic, collectively contributing to over half of the global dengue burden. Five countries— India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand—rank among the 30 most heavily affected countries worldwide. Despite efforts to control the disease, there has been a notable rise in the number of dengue cases over time, albeit with improvements in case management and a decrease in the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) to below 0.5%.

The expansion and distribution of dengue mosquito vectors and viruses in the region can be attributed to multiple factors, including rapid population growth, insufficient water supply and improper storage practices, inadequate sewer and waste management systems, heightened global trade and tourism, climate change, shifts in public health policies, and the widespread prevalence of dengue in urban areas.
