Farmers worldwide are shifting toward organic farming, which relies on sustainable practices such as the use of natural and biodegradable pest management. Farmers are seeking alternatives to traditional pest control methods. Consumer preference for natural, low residue, and less toxic pesticides is a major trend in the market. Some examples of natural pyrethrins used in farming are PyGanic Crop Protection EC 5.0 II and EverGreen Pyrethrum Concentrate. With the rise of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), farmers are monitoring pest levels to understand the type of pest to be used to curb soil and crop issues. Natural pyrethrin fits well into IPM programs because it is plant-based, fast-acting, and breaks down quickly, leaving very low residues.
With the growing awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides, regulatory bodies worldwide are undergoing the process of phasing out or banning them. Regulatory authorities are lowering the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for synthetic pesticides. Exceeding MRLs can lead to rejection of crops, which also hampers exports in emerging markets. For instance, the EU tightened MRLs for the neonicotinoid insecticide thiacloprid in 2024-2025. Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) are also under scrutiny by global regulatory bodies. The United Nations Environment Assembly has pledged to end the use of toxic pesticides by 2035.
As urban populations expand, the risk of mosquito- and pest-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue, and Zika, rises significantly. Densely populated urban areas often limit the effectiveness of traditional pest control methods, which may also pose environmental risks. Government and public health agencies are adopting vector health and community spraying. Urban areas face the issue of close proximity; hence, the solutions against vector-borne diseases need to be more natural in nature. Household insect control products are also in demand in urban areas. Consumers prefer child-friendly and low-contamination solutions, wherein natural pyrethrins pose as the preferred choice.
Natural pyrethrins are sensitive toward sunlight and heat exposures. Thus, their application is restricted in areas with high pest pressure. Areas with warmer climates, which demand continuous pest control due to heavy infestation, need stronger formulations. The efficacy of natural pyrethrins gets affected in such cases. This brings operational issues for farmers raising the cost and labor requirement. Thus, due to low UV stability, higher cost per application, and compromised efficacy, the adoption of natural pyrethrins is still limited.
Natural pyrethrins are produced using chrysanthemum flowers, which are dependent on the climate they are exposed to. In case of extreme heat exposure, drought, or heavy rainfall, the yield is affected. Floriculture requires extensive labor and is costly too, which creates issues in crop management. Also, the market is dependent on only one source of raw material. Any disruption in its availability means volatile supply chain and ultimately affects the procurement and distribution of products. The production is also very region-centric, which includes parts of Australia, East Africa, Asia, and South America. Thus, due to concentrated production and climate-sensitivity, the market has experienced disruptions in raw material supply.
Farmers are becoming more aware of the food consumption patterns and hygiene products used for their livestock. Similarly, pet owners seek toxic-free cleaning products. They also need products that can target a broad spectrum of ectoparasites, such as fleas and ticks. Market players can work on creating multi-species, broad-spectrum veterinary formulations. These include shampoos, spot-on treatments, tick sprays, and kennel sprays. Among dairy and livestock animals, use of natural pyrethrin restricts the risk of residue in milk, meat, and eggs. This resolve concerns around livestock management without disrupting the production cycle of their by-products. Thus, the development of natural formulations in the veterinary field can be a bankable opportunity for market players.
