Africa Livestock Surface Disinfectant Market Worth $99.5 Million By 2025

Africa Livestock Surface Disinfectant Market Growth & Trends

The Africa livestock surface disinfectant market size is expected to reach USD 99.5 million by 2025, escalating at a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market can be attributed to the reduced usage of antibiotics leading to increased preventative means of disease control. Increasing demand for surface disinfectants owing to the prevalence of animal disease is expected to bolster the market growth over the forecast period.

Livestock production is growing on a large scale in Africa owing to the growing human population, increasing consumer purchasing power, and rapid urbanization. Moreover, increasing demand for animal and animal-derived products such as meat, milk, and dairy products is expected to drive the demand for livestock in the region. Therefore, the rising production has led to several disease outbreaks in Africa.

Chemical disinfectants pose a potential threat as they are harmful to the living organisms. These chemicals can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, and absorption through the skin. Some of the chemical disinfectants can cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Growing awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals has led to a shift in consumer preference toward environment-friendly and biodegradable surface disinfectants. Manufacturers in the market are, therefore, moving toward sustainable production of biodegradable surface disinfectants.

Manufacturers in Africa are focusing on backward integration, i.e. producing their raw materials to comply with stringent regulations and manufacture quality products adhering to safety precautions for livestock, humans, environment, and equipment. DuPont de Nemours, Inc. sources majority of its raw materials from The Dow Chemical Company as it is one of the prominent manufacturers of glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde is a fast-acting and effective ingredient against a variety of microorganisms such as virus, fungi, and bacteria and commonly used ingredient in livestock surface disinfectants.
