Agricultural Disinfectants Global Market Report 2024

The global agricultural disinfectants market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.08 billion in 2023 to $2.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The historical growth in agricultural disinfectants can be attributed to various factors. These include market penetration in emerging economies, research and development initiatives, growth in the livestock and poultry industry, the adoption of best hygiene practices, a shift towards sustainable solutions, and the impact of global pandemics. These factors collectively contributed to the development and expansion of the agricultural disinfectants market during the historical period.

The global agricultural disinfectants market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for agricultural disinfectants can be attributed to various factors. These include the increasing need for disease resistance, a demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, the implementation of biosecurity measures, and the adoption of precision agriculture and modern farming practices. Major trends expected in the forecast period include collaboration and education within the industry, the development of specialized applications, ongoing product innovations, and a heightened focus on preventive measures in animal farming.

The surge in demand for high-quality meat products is poised to be a driving force behind the growth of the agricultural disinfectants market. Quality meat, processed from livestock or altered by specific techniques to enhance its attributes, necessitates stringent hygiene standards during production to ensure client satisfaction. Factors such as the genetic makeup, growth conditions, and nutritional status of the animals profoundly influence meat quality, impacting the need for maintaining cleanliness within livestock farmlands. For instance, data from February 2023 by Dezan Shira & Associates highlighted a meat production increase of 3.8% in China, reaching approximately 92.27 million tons in 2022. This escalating demand for quality meat products augments the necessity for agricultural disinfectants, thereby driving the growth of this market segment.

The proliferation of crop pests is anticipated to significantly contribute to the growth trajectory of the agricultural disinfectants market. Crop pests encompass various organisms like insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, causing substantial damage to crops and leading to reduced yields and compromised quality. While agricultural disinfectants primarily target pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi, their role in controlling and managing diseases indirectly mitigates the impact of crop pests. Reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization in 2021 revealed that pests account for up to 40% of global crop output losses annually, costing billions of dollars due to invasive insects and plant diseases. Consequently, the increasing menace of crop pests is driving the demand for agricultural disinfectants.

Product innovation stands as a prominent trend within the agricultural disinfectants market, particularly the advent of eco-friendly solutions aiming to mitigate harmful effects. Major companies are intensively focusing on the development of advanced and environmentally safe disinfectants to bolster their market positions. For instance, in March 2021, Boon Industries Inc., a pioneering bioscience company based in the US, introduced BioDox. This innovative solution, utilizing a patented chlorine dioxide formulation, effectively combats and prevents a spectrum of hazardous diseases prevalent across various agricultural operations. BioDox's efficacy extends to combating infections such as biofilm, botrytis, powdery mildew, various molds, rot, and bacterial contaminants like E. coli and salmonella, marking a significant advancement in eco-friendly agricultural disinfectants.

Major companies in the agricultural disinfectants sector are strategically embracing partnerships to fortify their market position and introduce innovative, advanced products. Strategic partnerships involve synergizing strengths and resources between entities to attain mutual benefits and foster success. For example, in February 2021, Ceva Santé Animale Group, a renowned pharmaceutical company based in France, forged a collaboration with NRAE Technologies, a leading French agricultural research institute. This alliance aims to prioritize the well-being of people, animals, and the environment, particularly emphasizing advancements in animal welfare and the prevention of infectious diseases originating from animals.

In March 2021, Lanxess AG, a prominent chemical company headquartered in Germany, executed the acquisition of Theseo Group, a reputable manufacturer of disinfection and hygiene solutions for livestock farming based in France, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition significantly broadened LANXESS's product portfolio, specifically targeting the burgeoning animal husbandry industry. Moreover, the specialization in pest management, animal nutrition, and animal welfare solutions were augmented through the integration of Theseo Group's expertise. This strategic move facilitated LANXESS's expansion into diverse segments of the agricultural disinfectants market, reinforcing its commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions for the sector's evolving needs.
