Disinfectant and Cleaning Agents Market Size, Industry Analysis Report, Regional Outlook, Application Potential, Price Trends, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2023 – 2032

Disinfectant And Cleaning Agents Market size is predicted to expand at a notable rate during the forecast period of 2023-2032. Disinfectants and cleaning agents play a vital role in controlling contamination and killing harmful microorganisms. The incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is growing across the world. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that in the U.S. alone, HAIs are responsible for 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths every year.
 

HAIs are nosocomial infections that patients usually contract during their stay at hospitals or medical centers. Some of the common examples of these infections include hospital-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, and bloodstream infections among others. Factors, such as a patient’s immunity status, old age, and longer hospital stays might contribute to the adoption of disinfectants and cleaning agents.
 

The prevalence of deadly infectious diseases including tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, and human papillomavirus (HPV), among others, is also increasing at an alarming rate. As per the World Tuberculosis Report 2022 by the WHO, nearly 10.6 million people globally were infected by TB in 2021, with 1.6 million patients dying from the disease during the year. The occurrence of lifestyle diseases is also growing across the world, enhancing the need for sprays and wipes to keep harmful germs at bay. However, side effects produced by certain toxic chemicals used in disinfectants and cleaning agents may hinder the industry growth during the forecast timeline.
 

Based on composition, disinfectant and cleaning agents industry is segmented into alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds, aldehydes, chlorhexidine gluconate, and hypochlorite, among others. The alcohol segment is projected to capture a sizeable market share by 2032. Alcohols that typically contain 70% isopropyl alcohol or 60 to 80% ethyl alcohol are used as topical disinfectants. Various types of disinfectant alcohols are effective against enveloped bacteria and viruses, thereby accelerating product sales.
 

Based on type, global disinfectant and cleaning agents market size from the wipes segment is expected to record an appreciable CAGR through 2032. There are several benefits associated with using disinfectant wipes, such as zero water consumption as compared to other cleaning agents and reduced chance of contamination, which will prompt end-users to buy them. Wipes are also extensively used to disinfect medical devices, especially in situations where liquids or sprays are unfeasible.
 

Companies are launching improved versions of their products to offer their customers better protection against harmful microorganisms. For example, in August 2021, STERIS declared the addition of Vesta-Syde SQ 64 Ready-to-Use Disinfectant Wipes to its wide range of disinfectant products. Such launches will spur the product adoption.
 

Based on end-use, disinfectant and cleaning agents industry covers diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, hospitals, and others. The market revenue from the hospital segment will increase considerably by 2032. Disinfectants and cleaning agents are readily available across hospitals to enable regular and timely disinfection. The rising cases of HAIs in hospitals have prompted owners to increase their investments in high-quality disinfectants and other infection control products, thereby driving the market outlook.
 

North America disinfectant and cleaning agents market value will show a robust increase by 2032 as the region is witnessing a significant rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases. About 60% of adults in the U.S. are suffering from at least one chronic disease, with chronic ailments and mental health conditions accounting for 90% of the country’s healthcare costs. The overall percentage of the elderly population is also increasing across the region, which heightens their risk of suffering from different types of disorders. These factors may enhance the need for disinfectants and cleaning agents.
