Global Antiseptics And Disinfectants Market Size (2024 - 2029)

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.
