The global market… According to the European Aerosol Federation (FEA), filling of aerosol insecticides and plant protection products totaled 214.85 million in Europe in 2015. Further, according to the latest market report from Persistence Market Research titled, “Global Market Study on Household Insecticides Market,” the global household insecticides market was estimated to be valued at $10.958 billion in 2015 and is expected to expand over 2015–2021 to reach $17.249 billion by 2021. Concerns over vector-borne diseases across the globe are projected to fuel demand for household insecticides in the near future. Conversely, toxicity levels in household insecticides are increasing (primarily due to the growing immunity level of insects), which is causing health problems from prolonged exposure to chemicals and odor, said Persistence. This could be one of the primary factors expected to hamper demand for household insecticides globally. Revenue from the mosquito and fly control segment is expected to remain dominant, owing to increasing demand for these insecticides in developing countries because of growing health concerns. Major players in this market are focused on developing eco-friendly products containing natural ingredients. The growth of the global household insecticides market is primarily driven by increasing demand from emerging regions such as Asia Pacific, due to rapid urbanization, growing disposable income among the population and increasing awareness regarding home pest SC Johnson donates OFF! for Hurricane Matthew clean-up SC Johnson (SCJ) announced that it donated 80,000 cans of OFF! Deep Woods aerosol to the American Red Cross. The personal repellents were distributed to those cleaning up in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, which struck the eastern U.S. as a Category 4-5 storm in October, affecting the East Coast through parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, leaving devastation in its wake. “When the storm surge waters receded after the hurricane passed, it left muddy, wet areas that became breeding grounds for mosquitoes,” explained Kelly Semrau, Senior VP, Global Corporate Affairs, Communication & Sustainability, SCJ. The contribution is part of SCJ’s commitment to donate at least $15 million to help protect families against mosquitoes. To date, more than $7 million of OFF! products and financial donations have been provided to organizations around the world, especially those in regions with high risk of Zika virus and dengue fever outbreaks.
