Antimicrobials are substances that can reduce the presence of pathogens like bacteria and mould. An antimicrobial agent known as a disinfectant can be applied to the surface of specific items to get rid of any bacteria that may be lurking there. Disinfectants and antimicrobial substances use chemical or biological methods to eliminate or stop the growth of dangerous organisms. Disinfectants come in a variety of forms, including oxidising agents, phenolic compounds, and aldehydes. Many industries, including paint and coatings, the processing of food and beverages, and medical and healthcare, use disinfectants and antimicrobial compounds.

An important element propelling the global market for antimicrobial & disinfectant chemicals is the rise in demand for disinfectants in industries like building & construction and paints & coatings. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising consumer awareness of infectious diseases will fuel market growth. The development of new technologies, such as UV radiations, is, however, deflecting end users' attention, which is anticipated to limit the expansion of the global market for antimicrobial & disinfectant chemicals. It is estimated that the demand for antimicrobial & disinfectant chemicals from the water & wastewater treatment and food processing industries would create profitable growth possibilities for the market during the forecasted period.

Growth Influencers:

Rising number of stringent regulations for the use of surface disinfectants

The demand for antibacterial & disinfectant chemicals is predicted to rise in the future due to increased campaigns promoting good personal hygiene habits and an increase in literacy rates. Infectious diseases are brought on by microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The risk of infectious diseases spreading increases due to the persistence of bacteria on numerous surfaces, including clothing, doors, and windows. Over the next few years, it is anticipated that greater consumer awareness of these contagious diseases would increase demand for antimicrobial & disinfection chemicals.
