Surface Disinfectant Market Growth & Trends

The global surface disinfectant market size is expected to reach USD 5.4 billion by 2027 registering a CAGR of 6.0%, as per a new report by Grand View Research Inc. Growing awareness regarding preventive healthcare and hygiene is likely to be the prime factor driving the market. Furthermore, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 will drive the demand for surface disinfectants.

Product demand is likely to be prominent in the industrial and institutional sectors, which includes hospitals, clinics, food processing industries, aquaculture, and meat processing industries among others. Growing incidences of bacterial and viral infections have led to the mandatory implementation of certain infection control practices, including the periodic application of surface disinfectants. In addition, rising awareness regarding health, disease spreads, and proper hygiene has propelled the product demand in domestic and residential applications as well.

Developing countries project lucrative opportunities for market growth due to government initiatives, such as the ’Swachh Bharat Mission’ of India. Moreover, rising product demand in the healthcare sector due to the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to augment the market growth. The demand has increased sharply from prominent economies, such as China, Italy, India, U.K., France, U.S., and Iran, which are some of the worst-hit economies due to the virus.

Growing adoption of novel and advanced technologies by major manufacturers for the production of disinfectants with enhanced effectiveness is witnessed as a major market trend. Rising consumer preference for bio-based products due to increased awareness about the adverse effects of chemical/synthetic-based disinfectants will also boost market growth. However, trade halt, industrial shutdowns, and lockdowns across all major cities due to the pandemic are expected to disrupt the supply chain.
