Key Market Dynamics
- One of the key reasons anticipated to propel market expansion is an increase in diseases, including typhoid, cholera, food poisoning, hepatitis A, cholera, and dengue, caused mainly by lack of cleanliness. For instance, according to a report issued by the WHO in 2022, the number of dengue cases recorded by the organization over the past 20 years has increased by more than eight times, from 505,430 instances in 2000 to more than 2.4 million in 2010 and 5.2 million in 2019. These illnesses are primarily brought on by viruses, germs, and bacteria that flourish in untidy homes, lavatories, and kitchens.
- Using antiseptic and disinfectant solutions is thus a crucial component of keeping a home clean. These treatments lower the risk of contracting these diseases by stopping the growth of dangerous bacteria and viruses. So, during the forecast period, it is projected that more awareness of the importance of maintaining a clean home will drive the market for antiseptics and disinfectants. Additionally, the antiseptics and disinfectants market witnessed a significant boost in sales due to the current COVID-19 outbreak.
- The WHO has urged businesses and governments to increase the production of antiseptics and disinfectants to meet the rising demand for cleaning, deodorizing, and disinfecting in high-traffic facilities, such as office buildings, hotels, schools, nursing homes, and hospitals as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. In Germany, 80% more hygiene goods were created between January and September 2020 than during the same time last year, indicating that the demand for disinfectants has increased in response to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Additionally, businesses that produce antiseptics and disinfectants use novel and cutting-edge technology to create, develop, and market goods to various end users based on the level of protection needed for particular occupational risks.
Hospital Segment to Dominate the Antiseptics and Disinfectants Market
- Antiseptics and disinfectants are frequently utilized in hospitals, particularly to safeguard medical staff. Hospitals use disinfectants extensively to stop the spread of many diseases.
- Furthermore, a range of bacteria is regularly encountered by healthcare personnel. As a result, disinfection is essential to maintaining a clean environment where germs cannot flourish. Disinfection is also seen as crucial for providing improved patient care. These factors increase the need for antiseptics and disinfectants in clinics and hospitals.
- One of the main drivers of the segment’s growth throughout the forecast period is the rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections in different parts of the world. For instance, according to the CDC, around 1 out of every 31 hospital patients acquires an infection. To stop the spread of diseases, it’s essential to use the appropriate antiseptics and disinfectants.
- In addition, rising healthcare costs in developed and developing nations may result in more hospitals, which is predicted to increase demand for antiseptics and disinfectants.
Competitive Landscape
Major players pursue strategies to increase their position in the market for antiseptics and disinfectants, including mergers and acquisitions, alliances, and the launch of new products.
