Cleaner disinfectant bottle and wipe concept

According to a report released from Research and Markets, the global surface disinfectant market is expected to grow at a rate of about 10 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next six years (2022-2028) and reach a revenue of US$10 billion by 2028, owing to the growing incidences of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Furthermore, an increase in product demand from non-healthcare industries, health clubs and gyms, and the outbreak of COVID-19 is likely to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

For instance, the rising geriatric population and the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and heart disorders have been fueling the demand for surface disinfectants across healthcare facilities. As per a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report published in 2018, HAIs cause about 1.7 million infections and 99,000 related deaths every year in America.

Furthermore, increasing product demand from non-healthcare settings like gyms, various types of industries, and offices is also driving the growth of this market.

Chemical surface disinfectants have some adverse impacts on the environment and acts as a major barrier for growth. For instance, hydrogen peroxide used in chemical surface disinfectants can cause portal vein thrombosis, gastrointestinal problems, mild mucosal irritation, and vomiting. According to a study conducted by the National Library of Medicine, in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden 15.7 percent of the general population, and 32.9 percent of asthmatics, report health problems from being in a room after it has been cleaned by fragranced products which include surface disinfectants.

The outburst of COVID-19 had a positive impact on the surface disinfectants market. The pandemic increased the need for surface disinfection and cleaning practices significantly. Multiple measures were being taken to curb the spread of the deadly virus, including disinfection and sanitizing surfaces. This increased the demand for surface disinfectants across the globe.
