Global Surface Disinfectant Market By Composition (Chemical and Bio Based), By Form (Liquid, Wipes, and Sprays), By Application (In House, Instruments and others), By End-Use (Hospitals, Laboratories, Households, Hotel/Restaurants/Cafes (HORECA), and Others), By Region and Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2022-2032

Surface Disinfectant Market overview:

The global market for surface disinfectants was worth USD 4,998 million in 2021. It is expected to grow at a 6.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2023 and 2032.

This growth can be attributed to many factors such as lifestyle changes in emerging economies, increased awareness among livestock farmers about animal diseases, and increasing demand for disinfectants for livestock farms.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a marked drop in the demand for raw materials, and active ingredients, and many factories and production centers were closed. Multiple plants were operating at reduced rates, or even being shut down, creating a gap in the supply-demand. The market growth is expected to be positive due to the rising demand for disinfectants, cleaning products, and sanitizers.

Global Surface Disinfectant Market Scope:

Composition Analysis

With a market share of over 91.5% in 2021, the chemical composition segment was the most dominant segment. This segment is expected to continue to be the dominant segment for the next several years.

This is due to the increasing use of hydrochloric acid in different industries, including food packaging and hospitals, to disinfect various surfaces. Market growth will also be affected by the increasing usage of quaternary and tertiary ammonium compounds.

The two primary types of chemical surface disinfectants can be divided into oxidizing and non-oxidizing. Non-oxidizing disinfectants include Quaternary Ammonium Complexes (QACs), alcohol, and aldehydes (amphoteric phenolics).

These disinfectants are primarily segmented into three types, namely, intermediate level (iodophor, alcohols, iodine, hypochlorites), low level (QAC, Phenolic), and high-level (peracetic acid, ortho-phthalaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde) disinfectants.

Due to their nontoxic, biodegradable, eco-friendly, and safe characteristics, biobased disinfectants are considered to be an alternative to chemical ones.

Market players will see huge growth opportunities due to FDA approval for biobased products to be used in surface disinfectant formulations. The market will be able to reap the benefits of biobased surface disinfectants, which have the ability to replace chemicals at an economical level, as well as the expanding application scope.

Form Analysis

The global market can be further divided by forms into wipes, liquid, and sprays. With a higher revenue share than 64.00%, the segment liquid form dominated the global market. The wide range of liquids that can be used in both the domestic and industrial sectors for kitchen fixtures, glazed tile, windows, plastics and exterior surfaces, vinyl, as well as glass, is what explains this high share.

Surface disinfectants come in liquid or gel forms with low viscosity. These disinfectants are used on contaminated surfaces as they are toxic, biocidal, or antimicrobial. Disinfectants based on Biobased used on surface in liquid form.

Sodium Hypochlorite is one of the most commonly used liquid disinfectants for the livestock industry. It is an aqueous solution that is not affected water hardness. These liquid disinfectants can be used to treat livestock infections and omit the risk of several diseases.

Wipes can be described as moistened plastic or cloth. Because of their low cross-contamination probabilities, ease of use, and minimal water consumption, the wipes market is expected to grow at a faster rate. Wipes can be used to disinfect equipment in hospitals where liquids or sprays are not possible.

Application Analysis

The global market can be further divided into three segments based on the applications: in-house, instruments, and others. In-house applications dominated the global market and represented more than 68.00% of global revenue. It is expected to maintain its position as the largest segment throughout the forecast period, growing at the fastest rate of CAGR.

This segment’s large share can be attributed to the rapid increase in product demand for cleaning and disinfecting interiors of houses after the current pandemic. The application of in-house surfaces includes commercial, residential, and industrial surfaces.

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention has issued some guidelines and recommendations for cleaning and disinfection. Although it does not kill all germs, this process reduces the spread of diseases and infections.

Outdoor disinfection and transportation are two other uses for surface disinfectants. These applications have seen a significant increase in demand over the last few years. Because they are simple to use, cost-effective, and readily available, chemical-based surface disinfectants will dominate the market.

End-use Analysis

In the end-user segment Hotel/Restaurants/Cafes (HORECA) dominated the global market in 2021 with a revenue share of more than 20%. HORECA segment will maintain its leading market position and grow at the highest CAGR for the forecast period.

The segment’s high share is due to the need to clean and disinfect common areas like bedrooms, pools, and lobbies to keep hygiene in these areas. In end-user Hospitals, segments are also important because they are most at risk for infections by viruses, bacteria, or fungi.

Periodic and regular disinfection of surfaces and equipment PPE Hospitals place kits at the top of their priority list. This is a significant growth factor. The spread of infectious diseases is facilitated by air travel.

More infections can be spread by a large number of people from around the world gathered in an enclosed area that has high contact rates and high numbers of contacts.

A person infected can easily spread the virus to other passengers or airport staff via luggage, direct contact, or by touching many places at the airport. The airport must be disinfected using disinfectants at all common locations, airport lounges, gates, and jet bridges.

Market Dynamics:

Most of the raw materials used to produce surface disinfectants come from the petroleum sector’s by-products. These raw material ingredients are mostly sourced by local manufacturers in developed countries like North America, Europe, and China.

The industry has noticed a shift in recent years toward biodegradable surface disinfectants. This is to prevent chemical-related toxicity. It is cheaper and easier to find the raw materials needed for biodegradable disinfectants.

Prices for surface disinfectants have experienced a modest to moderate increase. However, the sudden rise in demand from the COVID-19 Pandemic has led to supply shortages. The impact on prices could continue at least until the first half of 2021.

Product demand has been boosted by the stringent regulations for disinfection in industrial, commercial, and institutional spaces. Many chemical substances are used in surface disinfectants. They can produce remarkable results when they are used according to the guidelines. They are effective in preventing the spread of diseases and their occurrence. They can also be dangerous for animals and humans.

Market growth can be threatened by insufficient knowledge of the proper use of surface disinfectants as well as the health hazards associated.
