Surface Disinfectant Market to Grow $1.24B by 2028

Market growth is being driven by worldwide increase in healthcare investments and infectious disease awareness.

August 7, 2024

The global surface disinfectants market is estimated to grow US$1.24 billion by 2028, according to Technavio. Market growth is being driven by a worldwide increase in healthcare investments, as well as an increase in infectious disease awareness.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of surface disinfection in limiting the spread of infectious diseases. It also fueled a heightened focus on regular and thorough disinfection practices among individuals, businesses, and organizations.

The importance of personal hygiene, including handwashing and surface sanitization, also continues to boost the global market. Hospitals are implementing rigorous surface disinfection protocols to prevent healthcare-associated infections. The surge in demand for medical-grade disinfectants is a testament to this trend. Businesses, educational institutions, hospitality sectors, and households are proactively adopting disinfection practices to ensure safer environments.

Yet, rising use of UV radiation for surface disinfectants poses a challenge to continued market growth. UV germicidal irradiation has shown it safely and effectively kills or inhibits microorganisms—including bacteria, fungi, and viruses—responsible for diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria adds to the complexity, requiring disinfectants that can kill these strains. The high cost of some disinfectants and the need for frequent application also pose challenges. Furthermore, the regulation of disinfectants and their safety is a concern.
