The global permethrin market is set for robust expansion through 2035, fueled by surging parasitic infestations, vector-borne disease awareness, and widespread adoption in pharmaceutical and public health applications. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 244.3 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 450.1 million by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%.
The FMI report, “Permethrin Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” indicates global revenues will grow by over USD 205.8 million over the decade, driven by demand for effective, low-toxicity treatments in lice/scabies management and insect-repellent innovations.
A Decade of Growth Anchored by Pharmaceutical Dominance and Resistance Management:
Permethrin’s broad-spectrum efficacy and low mammalian toxicity continue to solidify its role in clinical guidelines. Between 2025 and 2030, the market will expand by USD 99.2 million, led by lice treatment surges in schools and humanitarian settings.
Between 2030 and 2035, FMI forecasts an additional USD 106.6 million in growth, reflecting advancements in topical formulations, permethrin-infused textiles, and integrated vector control strategies amid climate-driven insect habitat expansion.
“Permethrin remains a first-line defense against resistant parasites, with formulation upgrades enhancing adherence and reducing irritation,” said an FMI research analyst. “Public health endorsements and NGO campaigns are accelerating uptake in endemic regions.”
