Biocides Market Growth & Trends

The global biocides market is expected to reach USD 11.88 billion by 2030, anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to high demand from I&I cleaning and food industry, where they are largely used to control microbial contamination. They find application in disinfecting food containers, surfaces or pipes used in food logistics and more. Increasing innovations by various multinationals to expand their product portfolio as well as minimize hazard caused by biocides shall lead to broader consumption of the product over the coming years.

Biocides find substantial application in coating and printing industry since the paints & coatings products are often subject to microbial attack which eventually leads to degradation. Biocides are utilized in the industry vividly in product formulations to make the paints & coatings resistant of bacteria, algae, fungi and other microbes from growing on the painted surface. The biocides added to the paint formulator not only inhibit microbial growth over the painted surface during the summer, but also after the paint has dried. The demand for biocides in above mentioned end-use application has increased as a result of the rising use of water-based paints and coatings.

Biocides has been in use in various water treatment applications, wherein it is utilized for water disinfection purposes. Countries such as the U.S., Germany, Italy, and France, among others have been utilizing various biocide compositions for drinking water treatment applications as well as for disinfecting other commonly used water sources such as water tanks and swimming pools due to their cost-effectiveness, easy availability, safe utilization, and effective disinfecting properties.

The countries in Central & South America regions are expected to witness a trend of increased consumption of food & beverage products manufactured by adding additives to enhance flavor and taste owing to the shifting consumer eating habits and favorable regulatory developments in the region. These factors have led to a strong increase in the demand and the consumption of high-end value-added products like carbonated drinks, desserts, and bakery products, among others. Moreover, the presence of major manufacturer such as Cargill Incorporated, General Mills, and Kraft Foods is expected to surge the demand for the market in the region over the forecast period.
