Disinfectants refer to chemical agents used primarily to eliminate microorganisms on surfaces, equipment and objects, ensuring a reduction of infection risks in various environments. These agents are vital in maintaining hygienic standards in healthcare settings, food and beverage processing, domestic environments and any space requiring stringent control of pathogens.
The disinfectants market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships), of disinfectant products that work by destroying the cell wall of microbes or interfering with their metabolism, reducing the number of pathogenic organisms. Disinfectants are different from antibiotics and antiseptics, as they are intended for inert surfaces rather than living tissues. A disinfectant is an agent that disinfects by destroying, neutralizing or inhibiting the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms.
The global disinfectants market was valued at $4,177.12 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10.0%.
Rise In Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI)
The rise in hospital-acquired infections (HAI) propelled the growth of the disinfectants market in the historic period. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, are infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for other conditions within a healthcare setting, such as hospitals or clinics. Disinfectants play a crucial role in preventing and controlling hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) by eliminating or reducing the presence of pathogens on surfaces, medical equipment and in the environment within healthcare facilities. For instance, in July 2021, according to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, there were estimates that hospital-acquired infections (HAI) cause 99,000 related deaths and 1.7 million infections each year in US hospitals alone. Therefore, the rise in hospital-acquired infections (HAI) drove the growth of the disinfectants market.
Expanding Portfolio Of Quaternary Disinfectant Cleaners
Companies in the disinfectants market are developing innovative product solutions, such as quaternary disinfectant cleaners, to meet the increasing demand for effective and efficient cleaning and disinfection products. These disinfectant cleaners are cleaning products that contain quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) as their active ingredients. These compounds are highly effective at killing a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms on hard surfaces. For instance, in February 2022, SC Johnson Professional Group Limited., a UK-based manufacturer of household cleaning products, launched its quaternary disinfectant cleaner in a new squeeze-and-pour bottle. This product is designed to reduce labor time associated with measuring and diluting concentrated chemistry and the packaging format simplifies measuring for dilution in a bucket, automatic scrubber, or spray bottle. Additionally, quaternary disinfectant cleaners are a versatile and effective cleaning solution that can help reduce the spread of infection and improve overall cleanliness in a variety of settings.
The global disinfectants market is fragmented, with a large number of small players in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 9.63% of the total market in 2022.
