The global consumption of Biocides in Paint has grown significantly over the last decade. This performance reflects not only end industry growth, regulatory and technological changes but also the growing use of Biocides as hygiene aids in Coatings.
The market for Biocides in Paints will continue to grow due to the switch from solvent based to water based systems, the replacement of traditional Biocides based on chlorine and formaldehyde to more expensive environmentally friendly Biocides and the increased usage of hygienic coatings which contain surface active materials.
Specialty biocides include algaecides, bactericides, insecticides and film fungicides. North America is still the dominant market but several factors are combining to bring the North American percentage down, according to Biocide Information. Demand for Biocides is greatest in Brazil, China, India and Russia. As a result, all the main Biocides players are investing significantly in those regions as they offer growth opportunities as per capita income rises and human health issues are accorded more importance.
