Animal Disinfectants Market Report 2025

The animal disinfectants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.62 billion in 2024 to $3.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to biosecurity measures in agriculture, regulatory compliance in animal farming, outbreaks of animal diseases, increased intensive farming practices, growing demand for animal protein products.

The animal disinfectants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emergence of new animal diseases, rising adoption of organic and natural disinfectants, government initiatives for animal health, expansion of companion animal markets, climate change and disease dynamics. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainable and eco-friendly formulations, integration of technology for disinfection monitoring, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) control, disinfectant technologies, integration of digital solutions in animal farming.

The increasing incidence of animal diseases is expected to drive growth in the animal disinfectant market in the future. Animal diseases encompass any illness or disorder that affects animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. This rise in cases is primarily attributed to factors such as inadequate nutrition, poor hygiene, climate change, changes in land use, urbanization, and habitat destruction. Animal disinfectants play a crucial role in preventing and controlling the spread of diseases within animal populations. For example, in June 2024, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), a US-based government agency, reported that cases of animal tularemia rose from an average of seven per year to 21 in 2023, with an additional seven cases reported in 2024. Therefore, the growing incidence of animal diseases is likely to accelerate the expansion of the animal disinfectant market.

The burgeoning demand for livestock and poultry products is set to drive the growth of the animal disinfectant market. Livestock and poultry products denote the diverse array of items obtained through the farming and processing of animals for agricultural purposes. In this landscape, animal disinfectants play a crucial role in ensuring biosecurity, disease prevention, and adherence to standards. They contribute significantly to upholding the quality and safety of livestock and poultry products intended for human consumption and other applications. For instance, statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics of China in January 2023 revealed that China witnessed a 3.8% upsurge in the production of pork, beef, mutton, and poultry, totaling 92.27 million tons in 2022 compared to the previous year. Additionally, there was a 6.8% increase in milk production, totaling 39.32 million tons, and a 1.4% rise in egg production, reaching 34.56 million tons. Therefore, the escalating demand for livestock and poultry products acts as a catalyst propelling the animal disinfectant market.

Leading companies in the animal disinfectants market are focusing on product innovations, such as high-quality flexible barriers, to enhance protection against environmental pathogens, improve animal health, and ensure effective disease prevention in livestock management. These high-quality flexible barriers are adaptable protective solutions made from robust, durable materials, providing reliable defense against contaminants and pathogens while conforming to various surfaces. For example, in September 2023, DeLaval International AB, a Sweden-based company specializing in agricultural machinery and equipment, launched the OceanBlu range of teat disinfectants. This innovative line features a GlyTec formulation containing glycolic acid, which is designed to lower somatic cell counts and reduce the risk of mastitis while improving skin conditions. The OceanBlu range includes a flexible barrier dip that protects against pathogens and a fast-acting spray suitable for use before and after milking. Both products are user-friendly and easily recognizable, with tests indicating significant improvements in teat health. Additionally, they contain glycerin and sorbitol to promote better skin conditioning.

Prominent enterprises within the animal disinfectants market are actively developing disinfectants specifically targeting contagious viruses such as parvovirus, aiming to enhance market profitability. Parvovirus, notably canine parvovirus (CPV), presents as a highly contagious virus causing severe gastrointestinal illness in dogs. Its resilient and enduring nature in various environments necessitates the use of disinfectants proven effective against parvovirus in areas where infected dogs have been present. For example, in January 2023, Planet Pets, an India-based company specializing in pet products, introduced Zap Kennel Wash, the inaugural disinfectant tailored to combat dog parvovirus outbreaks. Given the responsibility of maintaining a clean, secure, and sterilized home, Zap Kennel Wash serves as a solution, aiding in fostering a healthy and safe environment, especially for households with pets.
