Antiseptics and Disinfectants Market: Segmentation

The global antiseptics and disinfectants market has been segmented into type, product, sales channel, and end user.

Based on type, the market is divided into phenols and derivatives, quaternary ammonium compounds, alcohol, and aldehydes, biguanides, and amides, iodine compounds, and Others. Among these, the quaternary ammonium compounds segment led the market in 2021. The quaternary ammonium compounds segment is anticipated to have a commanding market share. The enzyme segment is anticipated to increase the fastest during the projection period. In healthcare facilities like hospitals and clinics, quaternary ammonium compounds are frequently employed as disinfectants to clean surfaces and medical equipment that comes into touch with patients. Hospitals and clinics utilize enzyme-based disinfectants to clean their testing kits. In contrast to hospitals and clinics, research laboratories employ them more frequently. Growing R&D spending is anticipated to boost the number of research labs, which would, in turn, drive demand for the enzyme market. On the other hand, the phenols and derivatives segment is expected to grow faster in the market during the forecast period. Phenolic substances, such as heterocyclic phenol, are frequently used to treat viral infections, inflammatory illnesses, and other infectious diseases. The need for halogenated phenol and its derivatives is driven by the growing need to sterilize and disinfect the environment at homes, workplaces, and other areas.

Based on product, the market is classified into enzymatic cleaners, medical device disinfectants, and surface disinfectants. In 2021, the surface disinfectants category dominated the global market. Disinfection of surfaces is done to stop any virus or infection from sticking around and potentially harming people. The global need for surface disinfectants has increased, particularly considering the most recent pandemic, Covid-19. Benzalkonium chloride is used in surface disinfection sprays and solutions to protect surfaces from germs and viruses. Additionally, healthcare groups are promoting surface disinfection and making it a requirement. For instance, in a book of medical regulations titled Hygiene Requirements on Surface Cleaning and Disinfection, the German Federal Robert Koch Institute explains the significance of surface disinfectants. This is driving the antiseptics and disinfectants market’s surface disinfectant sector. On the other hand, the enzymatic cleansers segment is estimated to grow faster in the market during the forecast period. Enzymatic cleansers are frequently used to eliminate odor and are more effective on bacterial surfaces. In clinics and hospitals, it is frequently used to disinfect surgical instruments and test kits. Two significant factors influencing the sector are the number of surgical procedures and illnesses contracted while hospitalized. Enzyme cleaners’ non-pathogenic helpful microorganisms are efficient at displacing disease-causing pathogens without producing any negative side effects. Humans may occasionally be harmed by the antiseptic and disinfectant residue left behind. Enzymatic cleansers are employed in these situations. Therefore, throughout the projected period, the segment is expected to grow.
