Global Agricultural Disinfectants Market - 2022-2029

Global Agricultural Disinfectants Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global agricultural disinfectants market is valued at USD XX million in 2021 and is forecasted to reach USD XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Agricultural disinfectants are toxic chemicals widely used on livestock and crops to protect them against various microorganisms such as virus, bacteria, and fungi. To sterilize undesired and hazardous bacteria, appropriate disinfection is essential to protect livestock and crops. To protect livestock from disease, disinfectants are used on their surfaces, in their drinking water, and their yards. Increased demand for animal products, the advent of greenhouse vegetable production & vertical farming, growing occurrences of disease outbreaks among livestock, and a prohibition on antibiotics in animal feed are all driving the global agricultural disinfectants market.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing area under protected cultivation is driving the market growth

Indoor farming, vertical farming, hydroponics, and other protected growing technologies lessen biotic pressures on crops, such as pest and pathogen attacks. Protected agriculture has taken advantage of this characteristic, resulting in crops with no pesticide residues. While the pathogen susceptibility of crops under protected cultivation is low, maintaining the protected cultivation facility to be free of pathogens carried by construction materials and equipment has become necessary. The goal is to eliminate all pests and pathogens. Disinfectants play a critical function in cleaning protected cultivating facilities and equipment before planting, ensuring that the crop is free of pests and pathogens during the growth stage. The favorable expansion of the market for agricultural disinfectants is projected to be influenced by the expanded area under protected farming around the world. In addition, because of the growing need for meat products, disinfectants are in higher demand to protect the health of animals around the world.

However, due to the negative side effects of these products, there has been a recent decline in the agricultural disinfectants industry, which may limit the market growth. Due to a lack of information and awareness among farmers about the right use of precise methods, disinfectant manufacturers are hesitant to implement new approaches. However, an increase in the number of activities by firms and governments to raise awareness among farmers and educate them about the proper use of agricultural disinfectants is expected to boost the global market's overall growth.

Market Segmentation:

Surface disinfectants held the highest market revenue share in 2021

Due to their widespread use in livestock and agricultural operations, surface disinfectants represented the biggest proportion of the application category. Fruits and vegetables are susceptible to contamination by various germs such as mold, bacteria, fungal spores, and yeasts when they are picked fresh from the field. If microbial contamination can be reduced before storage begins, rot and mold losses can be reduced significantly, while storage times can be extended significantly. Cleaning and disinfecting storage rooms, containers, machinery, and other surfaces with an agricultural disinfectant regularly help safeguard freshly harvested agricultural products from contamination. The storage life and time of storage are therefore extended. Furthermore, with animal farming, there is a greater requirement for surface cleaning to remove manure from the field, followed by applying surface disinfectants to eliminate hazardous bacteria.

Based on the application, livestock farms held the highest market revenue share of XX% in 2021. The EU produced 7.9 million tonnes of bovine meat (beef and veal) in 2018, a modest increase of 1.7 percent over 2017. The increasing occurrence of livestock diseases has been observed across countries due to the growing livestock population. One of the causes contributing to the rise in animal diseases is a lack of hygiene. Farm biosecurity aids in the elimination of pathogenic organisms from farm environments and the protection of livestock and the human food supply. According to the National Dairy Development Board, the entire livestock population in India increased from 512.1 million in 2012 to 535.8 million in 2019. Increased dairy farming is a major component in the country's increased focus on livestock production. Good farm hygiene practices, combined with cleansers and disinfectants, allow pathogen transmission to be controlled, making them a cost-effective and potentially preventative strategy for managing and preventing infectious diseases in farm animals. As a result of recent disease outbreaks, preventative biosecurity is becoming more important in cattle production. Farm biosecurity aids in eliminating pathogenic organisms from farm environments and the protection of livestock. The health of the animal population improves with regular manure clearance and cleanliness. As a result, the demand for disinfectants in animal production is increasing.

Geographical Penetration:

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period

In the global agricultural disinfectants market, the Asia-Pacific region has emerged as the leading region. The market for agricultural disinfectants is being driven by rising animal production and the number of livestock farms in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as growing penetration of protected cultivation. Over the projection period, the market in the region is likely to be driven by challenges such as a lack of understanding about scientific disinfection procedures in agricultural remnants and the sheer development of end-user industries. Because of the growing livestock population and the increased focus on animal disease control, Asia-Pacific is expected to hold a major part of the market. As a result, the country's livestock farmers are increasingly focusing on frequent cleaning and disinfection of livestock locations, which helps to prevent such infections in animals.

Competitive Landscape:

The global agricultural disinfectants market is fragmented. The global agricultural disinfectant market is a competitive market and comprises numerous regional and international competitors. Players are also extensively focusing on providing consumers with innovative offerings in each of their products. Furthermore, while engaging the consumers with innovation and expansion strategies, key players are capitalizing on the market revenue. With a significant number of regional and local companies, the global market for agricultural disinfectants is moderately fragmented. Apart from agriculture, there are a number of companies that provide disinfectants for a variety of uses. Companies in the market are active in strategic actions such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and collaborations in addition to seeking for organic growth through increased sales revenues. LANXESS, for example, submitted their premium livestock animal disinfectants, Virkon LSP and Virkon S, for independent testing against the virus in May 2020.

COVID-19 Impact:

Negative impact on the global agricultural disinfectants market

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various businesses and industries around the world. The agricultural disinfectants market and supply chain have been impeded in many regions due to regulations set by various governments, which have influenced transportation. Despite the lockout, the agricultural disinfectants market has returned to normal. Demand for various agrochemicals and fertilizers was influenced worldwide, and it was reduced for a few months. The coronavirus infected the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, China, France, Italy, India, Spain, Brazil, and other major countries that produce agricultural disinfectants. Multinational corporations would concentrate their strategies and energy on these countries rather than poor and developing nations. People become more conscious of their health and food after the pandemic. To boost immunity and avoid further health issues, most of them choose to eat healthy, organic foods.COVID-19 has a far greater impact in industrialized countries.
