Antiseptic and Disinfectants Market Size and Growth Rate From 2024 to 2033

Market Overview

The antiseptic and disinfectants market deals with antimicrobial agents used to kill viruses, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Unhealthy lifestyle choices and bad eating habits can drive market growth. Easy transmission of harmful viruses and the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases are boosting the market growth. Increasing demand for hygiene products in healthcare sectors, schools, corporate places, and households is expected to drive market growth. In addition, the increasing number of surgical treatments is also driving the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectant market. The increasing customer awareness of the importance of personal and home hygiene during the expected time creates a significant opportunity for market growth. In addition, the increasing prevalence of diseases, including dengue, food poisoning, hepatitis A, cholera, and typhoid, is anticipated to enhance the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectant market over the forecast period.

The increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections fuels the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectants market 

Hospital-acquired infections are commonly found in patients suffering lengthy treatment, especially surgical treatments. It can be found in ambulatory surgical centres, clinics, surgical centres, hospitals and lengthy care facilities including nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. Factors such as excessive use of antibiotics, insufficient proper hygiene in the healthcare sector and indwelling catheters can surge the risk of hospital-acquired infections in patients. The hospital-acquired infections are mainly incubated at the time of hospital admission. These infections are commonly acquired after being hospitalized and remain 48 hours after hospital admission. Then antiseptic and disinfectants are helped by killing harmful microorganisms by washing hands and sanitized frequently. Moreover, increasing cases of hospital-acquired infections due to the lack of precaution and sanitation is a major factor expected to drive the market growth.

However, some harmful side effects can restrain the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectants market. Excessive use of sanitizers, which include chemicals such as triclosan, chloroxylenol, chlorhexidine, and alcohol, can irritate as it destroys the skin’s natural oils. The alcohols present in hand sanitizers, such as n-propanol, ethanol, and isopropyl, can damage and dry skin cells, and the risk of getting into contact with dermatitis increases. A human body that is exposed to a clean atmosphere can have a weak immune system. In addition, so many hand sanitizers are produced with fragrances. These fragrances can be harmful and irritating to people who have sensitive skin and cause allergic reactions, and they also suffer from hormone imbalance in the body. These are the factors that can restrain the growth of the market.

Market Potential and Growth Opportunity 

Technological Advancements 

Technological advancements such as increasing use of surgical units and endoscope reprocessors along with automated disinfection in the coming future. Technological developments, healthcare expenditure, increasing customer health awareness, and hospital-acquired coverage in the production of antiseptic and disinfectants are expected to be the major opportunities. Endoscopes are classified as semicritical products. They have high levels of disinfection, and most undergo cleaning, which results in minimizing the microorganisms. Endoscopes are polluted with 7-10 logs of microbes. So, endoscopes, especially duodenoscopes, are frequently polluted with bacterial pathogens after proper disinfection. These are the major opportunities that are estimated to drive the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectants market in the coming future.
