Global Surface Disinfectant Market forecast consistent 7.5% CAGR with growing eco-friendly solutions 2026

 

The global Surface Disinfectant Market is expected to grow at a rate of 7.5% to reach $5 billion by 2026. Increased use of surface disinfectants in public facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, wastewater treatment facilities, and households to curb the spread of Covid-19 virus, rising demand for eco-friendly & superior-quality surface disinfectant products, increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections, increasing awareness regarding personal hygiene & sanitization, and the growing implementation of stringent regulations in medical hygiene for the use of surface disinfectants are some of the key factors driving the surface disinfectant market growth.

Surface disinfectants are chemical agents applied to non-living objects to destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, and mildews living on the objects. Disinfectants can be found in various chemical compounds and work in various pathways to kill pathogens, usually by destroying or damaging the cell wall of microbes or by interfering with their metabolism. Surface disinfectants can also be incorporated in different forms, such as liquids, wipes, and sprays.

Several broad categories of disinfectants are used in commercial and industrial facility maintenance to prevent the transmission of microbial infections or cross-contamination. The most common types of disinfectants are hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds (Quats), chlorine compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, iodophors, and phenolic compounds.

Shift Towards Bio-based Surface Disinfectants

Bio-based surface disinfectants are cleaning products that claim to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses on surfaces within 30 seconds to 1 minute of contact time. In bio-based cleaning products, manufacturer replaces fossil-based ingredients with bio-based ingredients such as plant oil or enzymes. Plant oil can be used to produce surfactants and enzymes work as a catalyst to improve cleaning results. Bio-based cleaning products are more environmentally friendly, as it uses natural ingredients compositions without compromising the quality of disinfectants. This shift in the trend toward bio-based products from chemical-based products is expected to drive the surface disinfectants market.

Surface Disinfectant Usage for Infection Prevention Drives the Surface Disinfectant Market

Currently, almost every environment on earth contains bacteria and microorganisms. Most bacteria are harmless to humans while other disease-causing organisms called pathogens can be dangerous to the human body.  The outbreak of COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the most contagious and dangerous disease in recent history. However, using the right type of surface disinfectant routinely for cleaning the facility is critical in preventing the spread of infections and diseases like COVID, influenza, common cold & cough, and others and also ensures quality patient care, employee protection, and proper hygiene maintenance. The surface disinfectant market is marked by the increasing launch of newer surface disinfectants that are used for infection prevention and sanitization.

For Instance,

  • In June 2021, Metrex Research, LLC launched new surface disinfectant wipes under the brand name CaviWipe 2.0. These multi-purpose disinfectant wipes protect against 42 types of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 virus.
  • In February 2021, Proctor & Gamble launched a new antibacterial home sanitizing product under the brand name Microban 24. Microban 24 is available in three different forms including a multi-purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and sanitizing spray. The product is sold online and through major retailers across the globe.
  • In February 2021, 3M Company launched the 3M™ Clean & Protect Certified Badge Program, a new comprehensive system for cleaning, monitoring, and protecting facilities.

“Growing usage of advanced technologies will drive the market. For instance, modern technologies such as ultraviolet light devices and no-touch room decontamination methods have been very effective in reducing bacterial contamination on surfaces.” - Chief Researcher, Leading Surface Disinfectant Manufacturer, United States

Key Challenges/ Constraints: Surface Disinfectant Market

Some of the chemical disinfectants currently available on the market are irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. If proper guidelines are not followed on the usage of these disinfectants, it can lead to serious adverse reactions. Spray products that are currently used for cleaning purposes also release chemicals such as gases and aerosols, which contain non-volatile chemicals that can cause respiratory problems if not used in properly ventilated areas. Therefore, the risks associated with the usage of surface disinfectants are likely to hamper the growth of the market.

North America: The Largest Surface Disinfectant Market

North America is the largest surface disinfectant market, followed by Europe and APAC. The large share of North America can be attributed to stringent regulations & guidelines imposed by the government on the use of surface disinfectants, rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections, increasing awareness regarding cleanliness & hygiene products, and an increased focus on public sanitization in the region. APAC is expected to witness strong growth in the coming years, due to the active involvement of the government in controlling the spread of COVID-19, rising number of surgeries, growing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections, increasing awareness regarding the importance of personal hygiene and cleanliness, and proliferation of health & fitness clubs and gyms.
