Antiseptics And Disinfectants Market Analysis
The Global Antiseptics And Disinfectants Market size is estimated at USD 37.72 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 56.36 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.37% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The rising incidence of hospital-acquired infections, the growing geriatric population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and the rising number of surgical procedures are the major drivers in the market.
The rising incidence of hospital-acquired infections is the major driver in the market. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) data updated in 2022, globally, hundreds of millions of people every year are affected by healthcare-associated cited infections (HAIs), many of which are completely avoidable. The same source also stated that 48.7% of sepsis with organ dysfunction treated in adult ICUs were hospital-acquired. The proper and adequate use of antiseptics and disinfectants reduces the chance of acquiring healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Thus, increasing cases of such instances are expected to drive the demand for antiseptics and disinfectants, propelling the market growth.
The introduction of new product lines related to antiseptics and disinfectants in the market is anticipated to impact the market growth positively. For instance, in November 2022, Dettol introduced a multi-use antiseptic cream in India that helps prevent infections in various minor wounds, cuts, and scratches. Similarly, in August 2022, PDI launched its novel, innovative disinfectant, Sani-24 wipe, to help in infection prevention and professionals in the fight against rising healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Sani-24 wipe is a registered disinfectant that uses continuously active disinfectant (CAD), a revolutionary technology developed by Microban.
Also, in September 2022, CloroxPro launched Clorox EcoClean, a new product platform anchored by an EPA-certified Design for the Environment (DfE) disinfectant cleaner and EPA-certified Safer Choice cleaners. The products meet stringent requirements and high standards set by the United States. Therefore, due to the introduction of such advanced product lines, considerable market growth is expected during the forecast period.
However, issues related to sterilizing and disinfecting advanced medical instruments may hinder the market's growth during the forecast period.
Antiseptics And Disinfectants Market Trends
The Surface Disinfectants Segment is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth During the Forecast Period
Surface disinfectants are chemical agents designed to inactivate or destroy microorganisms on inert surfaces. They work by destroying the cell walls of microbes or interfering with their metabolism. Proper surface disinfection can prevent infections that develop during hospitalization, which are neither present nor incubating at the time of a patient's admission. A variety of chemicals are used in surface disinfectants for different purposes.
Effective surface disinfection is crucial for maintaining hygiene in non-healthcare settings, as highlighted by the several guidelines on the use of sodium hypochlorite and alcohol. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) data updated in March 2022, sodium hypochlorite (bleach/chlorine) may be used at a recommended concentration of 0.1% or 1,000 ppm in non-healthcare settings. Alcohol at 70-90% can also be used for surface disinfection. Surfaces must be cleaned with water, soap, or a detergent to remove dirt, followed by disinfection. Adhering to these guidelines ensures effective disinfection and drives disinfectant market growth as demand for reliable and efficient cleaning solutions continues to rise.
One of the major factors propelling the segment's growth is the increasing number of surgical procedures coupled with the need for proper disinfection to reduce hospital-acquired infections. For instance, according to a study in Frontiers in Public Health published in February 2023, the overall incidence rate of nosocomial infection was 6.6 cases per 1,000 person-days in 2022, and the overall prevalence rate was estimated to be 8.8%. The rising number of surgical procedures and the critical need to minimize hospital-acquired infections drive the market growth for disinfectants as healthcare facilities increasingly prioritize effective disinfection protocols.
In addition, the wide availability of surface disinfectants helps the segment to grow. For instance, as per the National Pesticide Information Center published in January 2022, due to their accessibility and ease of use, liquid surface disinfectants are widely utilized in healthcare, hospitality, and food and beverage industries. Additionally, the availability of liquid surface disinfectant products with pleasant and energizing aromas has boosted product demand from residential end users, which is anticipated further to fuel the market's expansion during the forecast period. Therefore, considerable segment growth is expected during the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth During the Forecast Period
North America is expected to witness considerable growth primarily due to factors such as the large presence of key market players, the increasing number of surgeries and hospital admissions, and a well-developed healthcare system. For instance, according to the report published by the Canadian Institute for Health Information in February 2023, there were almost 2.9 million acute inpatient hospitalizations in Canada in 2022, up from 2.7 million visits in the previous year. The same source also stated that the hospitalization rate was 6,983 per 100,000 population. Such a high hospital admission rate may increase the demand for antiseptics and disinfectants, propelling the market growth.
The rising number of surgeries, chronic diseases, and the introduction of new product lines in the United States are driving the market. For instance, in June 2022, Duchesnay Inc. launched its treatment, Vablys (dequalinium chloride vaginal tablets). Vablys is the first prescription antiseptic and anti-infective treatment for bacterial vaginosis in women under the age of 55. Due to its multiple modes of action and anti-infective properties against a wide range of pathogens, the treatment cycle of Vablys consists of one tablet inserted into the vagina at bedtime for six consecutive days.
Similarly, in June 2022, Sonoma Pharmaceuticals and MicroSafe Group DMCC announced that the United States EPA added Nanocyn Hospital-Grade Disinfectant. Thus, due to such factors, considerable market growth is expected during the forecast period in North America.
