The disinfectant and cleaning agents market is bifurcated into composition, type and end-use. Based on composition, the market covers quaternary ammonium compounds, alcohols, chlorhexidine gluconate, aldehydes and hypochlorite among others. The alcohol segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the analysis timeframe. Alcohols, typically in the form of 60 to 80% ethyl alcohol or 70% isopropyl alcohol, are used as topical disinfectants. Alcohol is effective against enveloped viruses and bacteria, thereby, driving the segmental growth.
 

The type segment is divided into wipes, sprays and liquids. Amongst them, the wipes segment will grow substantially during the analysis period. Several benefits such as reduced chance of contamination, zero water consumption as compared to other types, favor the segmental progression. Wipes are extensively used for medical device disinfection, especially in the cases where sprays or liquids are unfeasible. Moreover, easy availability and easy handling of these wipes will accelerate the overall disinfectant and cleaning agents market growth.
 

The end-use segment is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies and others. Easy availability of disinfectants and cleaning agents in hospital settings will surge the segmental growth. Moreover, the surged prevalence of HAIs has driven the adoption of infection control products in hospital settings, thereby, fueling the market growth.
 

North America disinfectant and cleaning agents industry will account for a lucrative revenue share by 2026 owing to rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the region.
