The global surface disinfectant market is forecasted to be worth USD 7.75 billion by 2027 from USD 5.22 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 8.23% from 2022 to 2027.
Surface disinfectant chemicals are used to kill or destroy microorganisms. These chemical agents are more effective than sanitizers because they crush all bacteria. These are different from antibiotics, which fight microorganisms within the body. Usually, surface disinfectants are used in hospitals, clinics, the kitchen, and other places to avoid spreading infections.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global surface disinfectant market:
The spread of COVID-19 is growing rapidly across the globe. The primary step to control the spread of this disease is disinfecting the surfaces everywhere. Government organizations have stepped out to disinfect all public places according to the guidance provided by healthcare professionals and health authorities. On March 10, 2020, the U.S. centers for disease control and prevention recommended using environmental protection agency registered disinfectants to fight against this pandemic disease. Disinfecting all the surface areas with chemical agents has become a significant factor in controlling the spread of this infectious disease.
MARKET DRIVERS:
Y-O-Y growth in the prevalence of HAIs, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases, the increasing geriatric population, the implementation of stringent regulations, and the growing healthcare sector are propelling the global surface disinfectants market.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic increased the usage of surface disinfectants worldwide, thus contributing to market growth. The prevalence of killing microorganisms to prevent the spread of infections is a major driving factor for market growth. Furthermore, increasing incidences of chronic diseases and a rise in patient flow in hospitals, as increased awareness programs by the government and non-government organizations to promote the awareness of hygiene to control infectious diseases, are driving the surface disinfectants market. In addition, favorable government initiatives on disinfection and sterilization due to rising incidents of human-transmitted diseases and other infections are key factors driving the demand for surface disinfectants.
Y-O-Y growth in the incidence of chronic diseases is anticipated to boost market growth.
The number of patients admitted to hospitals suffering from chronic diseases is significantly growing worldwide. Therefore, hospitals must be disinfected frequently to keep patients safe from acquiring any infectious disease. People suffering from diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart-related problems are more prone to the infections around them. Moreover, increasing surgery for this treatment has more chance of spreading the virus or infection through the instrument used. This may lead to sickness in the healthcare provider and workers working in the environment. As a result, this surface disinfectant is used to clean the floor and the surgical-related equipment to reduce the further spread of infection. Considering all these factors surface disinfectant market has demand during the forecast period.
Furthermore, factors such as increasing awareness about the role of disinfection, growing demand for home disinfectants due to increasing focus on child health and rising disposable income, the emergence of diseases like influenza, chikungunya, and Ebola, and growing economies of the counties across the world are likely to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the surface disinfectant market during the forecast period. Increasing production of new surface disinfectants in recent times also drives the market forward. Key players are manufacturing different surface disinfectants for different areas based on the level of infection spread. They also focus on the concentration level of the disinfectant to reduce any further side effects caused by using surface disinfectant for an extended period.
MARKET RESTRAINTS:
Furthermore, high costs associated with some surface disinfectants, lack of awareness about different types of surface disinfectants in some backward regions, and side effects of using some high-concentration disinfectants restrain the market growth. In addition, the availability of alternative products and advanced technologies in killing the virus and microorganisms also hamper the market growth.
