Factors Influencing Market Growth

Use of herbal insect repellents, the innovation, and development of chemical-free products, and the increase in the prevalence of insect-borne illnesses. Such factors drive market growth.

The demand for body-worn insect repellent is increasing due to the rise of customers toward safety and healthy living. Consumers' concerns about their health may fuel the market growth.
