Mosquito repellents come in various forms designed to repel or deter mosquitoes from biting humans or animals. DEET-based repellents, which contain N, N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, offer effective and long-lasting protection. Picaridin-based repellents provide an alternative with odourless and non-greasy formulas. Natural repellents utilize plant-based ingredients such as citronella or lavender, offering some level of protection, although effectiveness can vary. Applying permethrin to clothing or gear creates a repellent barrier. Electronic repellents claim to deter mosquitoes using ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves, but their effectiveness remains a subject of debate. Mosquito coils and incense release mosquito-repellent smoke and are commonly used outdoors, but caution is necessary due to potential health risks. Proper application by following product instructions is crucial. Combining repellents with preventive measures like mosquito nets and screens helps minimize mosquito exposure.

The mosquito repellent market in South Korea benefits from several growth drivers. The country's popularity as a tourist destination leads to increased demand for repellents as visitors engage in outdoor activities and seek protection against mosquito bites. Ongoing product innovation, including advanced formulations and convenient application methods, drives market growth by offering more effective solutions. Government initiatives aimed at controlling mosquito-borne diseases and promoting public health, such as awareness campaigns and mosquito control programs, create a favourable market environment. These factors collectively contribute to the expansion of the South Korean mosquito repellent market, presenting manufacturers and suppliers with increased demand and market opportunities. Besides, growing awareness of mosquito-borne diseases and rising health concerns have increased the demand for mosquito repellents as people prioritize protecting themselves from mosquito bites.

Although the mosquito repellent market in South Korea is flourishing and lively, it is not without its obstacles. Firstly, consumer's growing concerns regarding the effectiveness and safety of mosquito repellents have fuelled the demand for products that provide long-lasting protection without adverse effects on health. Secondly, compliance with environmental regulations and restrictions on certain active ingredients also presents challenges for manufacturers. Some consumers prefer natural alternatives, perceiving them as safer and more environmentally friendly, impacting the demand for conventional repellents. Additionally, price sensitivity influences consumer decisions, posing challenges for manufacturers in maintaining profitability. To thrive in the market, companies must navigate these challenges by staying innovative, addressing consumer concerns, complying with regulations, and effectively differentiating their products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply chains of mosquito repellent manufacturers, causing delays in production and distribution due to trade restrictions, transportation challenges, and fluctuating raw material availability. Additionally, the economic impact of the pandemic, such as job losses and reduced purchasing power, temporarily affected consumer spending patterns and market demand for non-essential products like mosquito repellents. However, the pandemic has also created market opportunities for innovation and product development. Manufacturers have introduced new repellents with features like long-lasting protection, natural ingredients, and eco-friendly formulations to meet changing consumer preferences during the pandemic. Overall, the pandemic has emphasized the importance of mosquito bite prevention, driving increased awareness and fostering product innovation in the South Korea mosquito repellent market.
