Global Mothballs Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Synthetic and Natural), By Application (Household and Commercial), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global mothballs market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Mothballs are known to have been customarily used in the form of a repellant for the clothing moth, also known as Tineola bissilliella. Previously, naphthalene was used for this purpose where later on para dichlorobenzene was also substantially used owing to its sublimation properties at room temperature. The market growth is primarily attributable to the numerous benefits offered by mothballs among households. For instance, the fumes generated by the mothballs are useful to kill the larvae, moths, and eggs which are usually hidden in indoor storage areas of the closet, pantry, and bathrooms. Further, the rising prevalence of webbing moths and pantry moths is also likely to spur the sales of mothballs during the forecast period.
The growing awareness toward hygiene and the households’ need for keeping away the tiny pests are also substantially contributing to the global mothballs market. Apart from this, huge damage caused by moths to cereals, fabrics, textiles, and grains further increases the demand for mothballs, thereby leading to its market growth. The limitation associated with the synthetic mothballs are the carcinogenic effects caused by its active ingredients such as naphthalene and 1,4para dichlorobenzene. However, a key trend observed in the global mothballs market is that presently, there is a huge demand for natural mothballs which are offered in lavender, cedar, and camphor flavor and fragrance. These are less toxic on exposure, however, equally effective against moths. This trend presents huge opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.
