With the rise in health consciousness, consumers are becoming more proactive about protecting themselves from health risks. This trend extends to the use of insect repellents as a preventive measure. According to Africa Health Organization , Africa accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s malaria cases. Government and health organizations in the Middle East often organize awareness campaigns about vector-borne diseases.

These campaigns emphasize the importance of using insect repellents as part of preventive measures. According to the World Malaria Report, there were 234 million malaria cases and 593,000 malaria deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2021. During the period between 2019 and 2020, there was an observable rise in estimated malaria cases in the WHO African Region, escalating from 218 million to 232 million.

Similarly, fatalities associated with malaria increased from 544,000 to 599,000. In addition, an important shift was also observed in terms of malaria deaths in children, with 78.9% of all deaths occurring among children under the age of 5 in 2021, as compared to the significantly higher rate of 91.0% in the year 2000. This is expected to boost the insect repellent market growth over the forecast period in the region.
