Biocides refer to chemical substances that are used to destroy or control harmful living organisms like pests, germs, algae, fungi, and other potentially dangerous microorganisms. They help protect health as well as prevent deterioration of materials caused by biological agents. Rising hygiene concerns along with strict regulations regarding indoor air quality have augmented the demand for biocides from various end-use industries like food & beverage, wood preservation, medical, paints & coatings, and others.

Market Dynamics

The global biocides market is driven by rising hygiene awareness among individuals as well as industrial end users. Stringent regulations regarding indoor air quality and water treatment across various countries is further augmenting the market growth. Growing construction industry worldwide along with increasing spent on infrastructure development projects is another major factor bolstering the demand for biocides. However, shifting consumer preference towards bio-based and safer alternatives due to environmental concern can restrain the market expansion. Moreover, the development of resistant microbes poses a big challenge. Nevertheless, the emergence of innovative product formulations integrated with advanced technologies is expected to present lucrative opportunities for market players in the near future. Furthermore, the increasing consumption of packaged and processed food owing to changing lifestyles has augmented the need for biocides to prevent spoilage. However, stringent environmental regulations regarding the use of certain biocides along with availability of alternatives are expected to hamper the market growth. On the other hand, research & development activities to develop bio-based and eco-friendly biocides are expected to create new opportunities in the coming years.
