Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
Surface disinfectant is gaining popularity as it is one of the most critical phases in the cleaning and sterilization process. Surface disinfection is significant process in order to remove foreign material or contaminants from surfaces, instruments and devices. It helps to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections (HAIs). Increase in HAIs and rising volume of COVID-19 cases have fuelled the demand for surface disinfectants. Disinfection of surfaces, instruments and devices using different disinfectants such as alcohols, chlorine compounds is used frequently in areas ranging from the small medical or dental office to the largest hospitals. Moreover, presence of numerous domestic and international industry players offering wide range of surface disinfectant equipment and products will enable the healthcare professionals to reduce the burden of hospital acquired infections.
The global surface disinfectant market has been segmented based on composition, type, application, end-user, and region. On the basis of composition, the global surface disinfectant market is categorized into alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, and others. Alcohols are largely deployed to disinfectant hard surfaces in hospitals, laboratories and clinics.
Based on type, the global surface disinfectant market is categorized into liquid, sprays and wipes. Liquid disinfectants segment accounted for the largest share in 2019. Wide availability, ease-of-use, and its strong, biocidal and anti-microbial properties which is effective against various microorganisms is attributable to its dominant share. Moreover, these disinfectants are widely used for the disinfection of surfaces in different facilities such as hospitals, residential and commercial spaces which is likely to boost its demand in the next few years.
The global surface disinfectant market is cumulative to North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the global surface disinfectant market in 2018, however Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a highest pace through 2025.
Increase in prevalence of hospital acquired infections along with high prevalence of infectious diseases performed in the U.S. are major factors expected to drive the surface disinfectant market in the region. For instance, approximately 500,000 SSIs with an estimated cost of USD 10 billion occur annually in the U.S. alone. Furthermore, presence of key industry players is other major factor likely to boost the growth of the market in North America.
