In the Middle East & Africa, the surface disinfectant market has a slow growth rate until COVID-19 hit the region. With the widespread of COVID-19, the market shares are going high eventually. Creating popularity over the use of these chemical agents even in the undeveloped countries is merely to boost the market demand.

Chemical substances that are applied to non-living objects and on floor surfaces to destroy microorganisms are called disinfectants. The primary use of disinfectants is to prevent infectious diseases. Surfaces are designated as noncritical items as they contact intact skin. The usage of noncritical items or contact with noncritical surfaces has a low risk of causing an infection in humans. Nevertheless, the surface should be clean in clinics, hospitals, and Ambulatory surgical centers since there is a greater probability of an infection spreading among patients and staff.

Surface disinfectants place a major role in preventing infection. The main driver of Surface disinfectants is their increasing usage. The rising prevalence of infectious disease worldwide also fuels the surface disinfectant market. Developed economies and emerging economies play a major role in the surface disinfectant market. Mentorship from International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), and the International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC) to prevent infectious diseases also aids in the market growth. Increasing awareness regarding the use of surface disinfectants is also one of the drivers for this market. 

Despite that, while using disinfectants, precautions are necessary, and the disinfectant in use must be approved by government organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Regulatory procedures in these organizations make the product launch of new products very difficult.
