Biocide is a chemical substance that helps destroy and inhibit harmful organisms' growth and it includes disinfectants, preservatives, insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides. Also, it control virus, fungus, and bacteria and help to protect people, and animal, and preserve goods from insects, rodents, and pests. Biocide is used in several applications like water and wood treatment, agricultural applications, personal care, paints and coatings, and home care. While chlorine is the most widely used biocide for disinfection of water.
The surging need for antimicrobial protection in end-use industries like healthcare, pharmaceutical, personal care, home care, food industry, water treatment, and others helps to drive the market's growth. The healthcare industry highly depends on biocide for the disinfection of medical devices, water, and surface. Biocide helps to preserve vaccines and drugs. Moreover, Biocide plays a crucial role in the personal care industry. Biocide is used as an antimicrobial agent in numerous personal care products like face wash, lotions, and creams and it is widely used in home care and domestic products like washing liquid, mouthwash, toothpaste, and household cleaning products. It also plays a significant role in preserving food items from bacteria, algae, and fungi.
Additionally, it is broadly used in water treatment for drinking and wastewater management. These are used in the water to preserve overall counts of microorganisms and eliminate harmful bacteria to maintain the microbiological quality of water before delivery. Chlorine is frequently used to purify drinking water. Along with that, biocides are used in numerous applications like agriculture, the paper industry, paint and coatings, and wood treatment to inhibit bacterial growth.
Increasing awareness in the community regarding the importance of hygiene and health help to propel the growth of the market. Increasing awareness resulted in increased demand for disinfectant and antimicrobial products including biocide. It helps to inhibit the growth of microbes and prevent humans from microbial diseases and it is used to decontaminate the patient’s skin in the hospital. Biocides play a crucial role to treat skin damage and mucous membrane infections. The health benefits of biocides rise the demand for biocide and the global biocide market.
The use of some toxic chemicals in the manufacturing of biocides and their adverse environmental effect may impede the growth of the market. Regulatory authorities banned specific active ingredients which are used in biocide manufacturing. Environmental regulations require authorization before the launch of a biocidal product. Environmental regulations may impose a strict requirement for the proper handling, treatment, and disposable wastewater generated after using biocides. It resulted to increase the cost and may hinder the market growth. In Europe, as per Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012), before any biocidal product is launched, it must first have authorization, and all of the active ingredients contain prior approval, hampering the growth of the market.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has witnessed a significant impact on the biocide market growth. During the pandemic, demand for biocidal products like sanitizer and disinfectants increased to maintain hygiene in households, healthcare facilities, workplaces, and public places. Increasing awareness regarding personal hygiene increases the demand for biocide during the pandemic.
A disrupted supply chain and transportation restrictions affected biocide products' availability and timely delivery. The biocide market experienced challenges regarding restrictions on international trade, closure of manufacturing facilities, and logistical difficulties during a pandemic. As a result, there is a temporary shortage and an increase in biocide prices.
