    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2022450 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The biocides market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Biocides are widely used in the production of antimicrobial disinfectants, sterilizers, and sanitizers that aids in stopping or eliminating the spread of disease and infections. Biocides are also widely used as a disinfectant of the machine equipment in the industries. In addition to this, biocides are also being used in the treatment of drinking water, which reduces the risk of many diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, and various other waterborne diseases. The aforementioned reasons are anticipated to positively impact the growth of the biocides market during the forecast period.

Moreover, the use of biocides also aids in extending the shelf lives of the products and promotes sustainability by reducing waste. Hence, the antimicrobial biocides are utilized widely to preserve woods from decay caused by pests, mold, and mildew which in turn is expected to drive the biocides market shares. However, the use of biocides raises several environmental issues that are anticipated to hamper the growth of the biocides market during the forecast period.

Segmental Outlook 

The global biocides market is segmented based on type and application. On the basis of type, the market is sub-segmented into halogen compounds, metallic compounds, organosulfur, organic acids, phenolics, and others. Further, based on the application the market is sub-segmented into water treatment, personal care, wood preservation, food & beverage, and others.

The water treatment segment will witness a lucrative growth rate 

The water treatment segment is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR in the biocides market owing to the increasing demand for safe drinking water. In addition to this, several global health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) are running various initiatives in the developing economies to promote the reach of safe drinking water. Additionally, biocides are also used for the treatment of swimming pools, sewage treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment which will significantly drive the biocides market growth during the forecast period.

Europe is also expected to contribute considerably to the market. Germany, UK, France are some of the major economies contributing to the regional market. 

Global Biocides Market Growth, by Region 2020-2026

Asia-Pacific will augment with the fastest growth rate in the biocides market 

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to show the fastest growth rate in the biocides market owing to the high prevalence of waterborne diseases across the region which in turn is increasing the adoption of biocides for water treatment. In addition to this, Asia-Pacific has a huge number of manufacturing industries that produce tons of wastewater per day. Strict government regulations related to the treatment of wastewater in emerging economies such as China, India, and ASEAN countries will lead industries to use biocides for water treatment. Moreover, investment by the government for the wastewater treatment plant for cleaning the rivers is also expected to provide considerable growth to the biocide application in the region. In addition, the popularity of livestock farming and agricultural activities is considerably high across the region which is anticipated to increase the biocides market shares.
