The global electric bug zappers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032. The incidence of vector-borne diseases is anticipated to increase the demand for electric insect killers. These devices kill insects using high-voltage electrical grids, thereby lowering their number and the risk of disease transmission. The growth of the global market for electric bug zappers is anticipated to be fuelled by a growing awareness of the need of managing mosquito populations in residential areas. The expansion of e-commerce is anticipated to have a beneficial effect on the market for electric insect killers. E-commerce platforms make it easy for consumers to compare products and pricing and acquire the most suitable insect zapper for their needs. Manufacturers are spending R&D to generate more effective, efficient, and user-friendly insect killers.

The electric bug zapper is a device used to electrocute a variety of insects and pests. UV light is especially efficient against insects that are attracted to it. A light source attracts insects, while a high-voltage grid electrocutes them upon contact. To lower the insect population and prevent the transmission of vector-borne diseases, electric bug zappers are frequently employed in homes and outdoor areas. They are a chemical-free alternative to conventional pesticides and provide the benefits of being simple to use, economical, and ecologically benign.

Instances of Vector-Borne Infections on the Increase Driving Electric Bug Zapper Market Growth

Insects and bugs transmit diseases to humans, including dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Each year, more than 700,000 deaths are attributed to malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and onchocerciasis, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). More than 17% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by vectors. Anopheline mosquitoes transmit the parasite disease malaria. Around 219 million instances of the virus are reported annually, resulting in over 400 thousand fatalities. The majority of deaths occur among children under the age of five. The most prevalent virus spread by Aedes mosquitoes is dengue. Almost 3,9 billion individuals in over 129 countries are at risk for developing the disease. Each year, approximately 96 million symptomatic cases and 40,000 deaths are attributed to dengue. Thus, the increased frequency of vector-borne diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric bug zapper market shortly.

Growth of the E-commerce Industry

Online purchasing has made it more convenient for consumers to acquire bug zappers without leaving their homes. This has been particularly useful during the COVID-19 outbreak when people are attempting to restrict their exposure to one another. By 2023, it is anticipated that online retail sales would reach $6.17 trillion, with e-commerce websites accounting for 22.3% of all retail sales. The U.S. e-commerce market was projected to surpass $875 billion in 2023. Consequently, it is projected that the expansion of the e-commerce industry would fuel the growth of the electric bug zapper market over the next several years.

North America Remains as the Global Leader

North America dominated the global electric insect zapper market in 2023 and the trend is expected to continue during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032, according to the most recent industry prediction. Shortly, market growth in the region is anticipated to be driven by people's active outdoor lifestyles and heightened awareness of the dangers posed by vector-borne diseases. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to have the sector's fastest growth during the forecast period. In the coming years, the prevalence of vector-borne diseases and the existence of key manufacturers are projected to increase electric bug zapper market statistics in the region. Due to an increase in consumer awareness of vector-borne diseases in Europe and South America, the industry in these regions is predicted to expand at a rapid rate throughout the forecast period.
