The market is also characterized by a high level of merger and acquisition activity by leading manufacturers to consolidate market share. Emerging players resort to long-term agreements and collaboration in a competitive environment. The competitive nature of the market encourages companies to explore synergies and target players with innovative technologies and complementary products.
The market is also heavily influenced by stringent rules & regulations. Regulations pertaining to product safety, environmental impact, and production standards. Further, companies have to be compliant with regulatory requirements in end-use sectors, such as food & healthcare industry, that have a negative impact on the market. Key players are concentrating on using advanced technologies and adopting new marketing strategies to strengthen their base to generate more revenue in the near future.
Increasing awareness among consumers regarding the toxicity of chemical-based products, coupled with the growing disposable incomes of majority of population in developed economies, has compelled several manufacturers to produce biobased surface disinfectants. This poses challenge for surface disinfectant products & services. Therefore, industry players focused on optimizing and managing supply efficiency and being competitive in the market by enhancing their operational efficiency, increasing productivity, and reducing lead time. Also, differentiate their products by highlighting unique features with respect to their applications.
Chemical products dominated the surface disinfectant market with a high revenue share of more than 90.0% in 2023.This is attributed to the rising utilization of hydrogen peroxide in industries such as food packaging, and in hospitals to disinfect various surfaces. Also, the rising utilization of quaternary ammonium compounds, as well as alcohols is anticipated to have a positive impact on the market growth.
Chemical surface disinfectants are primarily classified into two types, oxidizing and non-oxidizing disinfectants. Non-oxidizing disinfectants comprise aldehydes, amphoteric phenolics, alcohol, and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). These disinfectants are majorly segmented into three types which are, low level (QAC, Phenolic), intermediate level (iodine, alcohols, iodophore, hypochlorites), and high-level (ortho-phthalaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde) disinfectants.
Biobased surface disinfectants are viewed as alternatives to chemical surface disinfectants owing to their non-toxic, biodegradable, and environment-friendly characteristics. The FDA approval to use biobased products in commercialization and formulations of surface disinfectants is expected to create huge opportunities for market participants. Also, the increasing application scope of biobased surface disinfectants along with a high potential to replace chemical surface disinfectants at economical levels is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for existing as well as new market participants.
Liquid form dominated the global surface disinfectants market with a high revenue share of more than 62.0% in 2023. This high share is attributed to their variety of applications in industrial as well as household usage like kitchen fixtures, glazed ceramic tile, windows, plastics, exterior surfaces of applications, vinyl, and glass.
Liquid surface disinfectants are found in liquids and gels forms with minimum viscosity. Liquid disinfectants are toxic antimicrobial or biocidal, strong chemicals that can be used on contaminated surfaces. Biobased surface disinfectants are generally used in liquid form. Sodium hypochlorite is one of the commonly used liquid disinfectants in the livestock industry. It is an aqueous solution, which is not affected by water hardness. Such liquid disinfectants are used to omit the risk of several diseases as well as treat livestock infections.
Furthermore, wipes are moistened pieces of plastic or cloth. Surface disinfectant wipes are anticipated to witness growth because of their minimum probabilities of cross-contamination, convenience, and nil water consumption. Wipes are used for disinfecting equipment, especially in hospitals, where the use of liquids and sprays is not that easy.
In house application dominated the surface disinfectant market with a revenue share of over 68.0% in 2023.Its high share is attributable to the sharp increase in the product demand for regular cleaning activities and disinfecting the interior of houses, especially after the ongoing pandemic situation.
In-house surface applications include industrial, commercial, and household surfaces. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has laid some regulations and recommendations for the disinfecting and cleaning processes to be followed. This process does not necessarily kill or clean all germs but lowers the risk of spreading diseases and infections caused by viruses, fungi, and bacteria.
Other applications of surface disinfectants include transportation and outdoor disinfection. The product demand from these applications has increased significantly. Chemical-based surface disinfectants are most likely to dominate the market as they are easy to apply, economical, and widely available.
Hotel/Restaurants/Cafes dominated the surface disinfectant market with a revenue share of more than 20.0% in 2023. Its high share is attributable to the growing need to sanitize and disinfect the common areas, swimming pools, bedrooms, and lobbies to maintain hygiene.

Market Segmentation
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that are not detected during admission but transmitted during a patient's stay at hospitals and other related facilities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these types of infections comprise catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), surgical site infection (SSI), and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Infection control practices primarily cause healthcare-associated infections, individuals' immune status, and numerous infectious agents all over the healthcare units. Other factors include immunosuppression, extended hospital stays, stays in intensive care units, and older age. Approximately, 20% of these types of infections occur in ICUs. The key pathogens instigating healthcareassociated infections comprise Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile, and Escherichia coli, among others. These pathogens can be transmitted by uninterrupted interaction with contaminated environment or healthcare workers. Healthcare-associated infections in Canada are still a significant problem, resulting in the need for the development of various strategies to avoid related contaminations with medical devices. Consequently, the Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) has conducted a survey to address the problems and collect hospital-wise data. In 2019, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 3% of hospitalized patients in the U.S. were reported to have one or more healthcare-associated infections.
There is a spiraling demand for superior-quality surface disinfectants products due to the growing requirement to improve hygiene in ambulatory surgical centers, clinics, and hospitals to inhibit the spread of infections including COVID-19 among staff and patients. The market is also driven by the growing number of laboratories and rising awareness among people about personal hygiene. Furthermore, various governments in North America and Europe have implemented stringent regulations concerning chemical-based disinfectants and their discharge processes. Some of the critical initiatives of the government bodies is spreading awareness regarding sanitation, health, and safety. In order to encourage hygiene and health and raise awareness regarding healthy habits, safe drinking practices, and regular handwashing, numerous campaigns have been launched. Regulations established by various government bodies for safety, health, and to tackle the increasing occurrences of chronic diseases are also projected to be the key factors boosting the growth of surface disinfectant market. Most government bodies have undertaken several guidelines and initiatives to increase awareness regarding cleanliness on account of rising occurrences of infectious diseases. For example, the Affordable Care Act forces hospitals to safeguard cleanliness in their facilities.
Surface disinfectants consist of chemical substances that yield excellent results when used properly per guidelines. They help prevent the occurrence and transmission of diseases. However, using these disinfectants can threaten humans and animals and lead to environmental hazards. Incomplete knowledge regarding the proper use of surface disinfectants and the health hazards associated with these products can potentially threaten market growth. Knowledge of possible health risks related to disinfectants is vital as improper use of products may lead to ailments. For instance, phenols used as chemical disinfectants have been found to have considerable side effects in humans, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. They can also cause severe corrosive injury in the stomach, throat, and esophagus, along with bleeding, perforation, and scarring. If disposed of improperly, disinfectants can be hazardous to the environment. Disinfectants drained down the sewer system to public waste treatment works must meet appropriate disposal requirements. Formaldehyde is also a powerful disinfectant; however, due to its toxicity and carcinogenic properties, it can cause several side effects, such as skin irritation, cough, eye irritation, shortness of breath, exacerbation of asthma, and chronic bronchitis. Similarly, glutaraldehyde is a strong irritant to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin as it causes skin sensitization, leading to allergic contact dermatitis. These factors pose a potential threat to the product demand and are, thus, anticipated to hamper the market growth over the forecast period
