Ultrasonic mosquito repellent or IQ tax
The reporter learned that in addition to drug repellent, repellent Mosquito plants have also become popular. In this regard, the reporter visited the Qingshiqiao Flower and Bird Market in Chengdu.
Here, the reporter randomly walked into a flower shop, and after expressing his intention, the boss enthusiastically recommended a mosquito repellent plant, “Fragrant wood is more effective in repelling mosquitoes, and more people buy it.” Price On the top, the fragrance wood ranges from a dozen yuan to hundreds of yuan.

Fragrant Wood
If it is said that plants use the characteristics of plants themselves to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes, it is more reliable. Then the mosquito repellent software looks amazing.

The cover news has done relevant experiments. The mosquito repellent bracelet and mosquito repellent sticker have a very weak repellent effect, while the mosquito repellent toilet water has an obvious effect.
[Mosquito Repellent Economy]
The track is small but essential
In the midsummer season, mosquitoes are constantly growing, and people’s demand for mosquito repellent increases greatly. But is the market really that big? A retail store can display more than 20 kinds of toilet water. Why is the mosquito repellent economy so popular?
“Economically, the mosquito repellent market is a niche market, referring to the market space occupied by a small group of customers with similar interests or needs in a larger market segment. “Financial science writer Xie Zongbo said in an interview with reporters that although mosquito repellent is a very small category in the “severe summer economy”, it is an essential and rigid need for many people. How to find a good mosquito repellent Products are a pain point for many people. If an enterprise can really solve this “pain point”, the market size may not be really small.
Various mosquito repellent toilet waters
So, why are there so many diverse products in such a market segment?
Xie Zongbo makes a point that most successful entrepreneurial businesses do not start out in large markets, but by identifying emerging or undiscovered niches in larger markets And grow the business. The mosquito repellent market is a niche market. Large enterprises pay little attention to it, and the enthusiasm for product development is not high, which gives opportunities for small and micro enterprises and start-ups. If we can solve the mosquito repellent problem through unique products or technologies, we can increase the market share and achieve a breakthrough in entrepreneurship.
“Therefore, even in such an extremely segmented niche market as mosquito repellent, there will be many entrepreneurial companies promoting R&D and the launch of various new products.” Xie Zongbo said . As for the uneven market of mosquito repellent products, he said that from an economic point of view, the emergence of any emerging market will be a mix of fish and dragons, and only really good products that have passed through time and have been recognized by the market can finally stay. Gain consumer acceptance.
