According to the report by UNICEF, approximately 74% of the global population has access to safe drinking water, which is expected to reach 81% by 2030 and remaining 1.6 billion without any safe drinking water. The increasing demand of safe drinking water is expected to enhance the growth of the market. Biocides are used to eliminate microbes during the treatment of water. These chemicals are extensively used in sewage treatment, cooling towers, spas and swimming pools and industrial wastewater treatment. As a result of all these factors, the demand of the biocides increases which will enhance the market growth.
According to Data Bridge Market Research the Biocides accounted for USD 10,889.6 million in 2021, and expected to reach USD 16,967.26 million by 2029. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.70% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
“Growing usage of antimicrobial protection products is expected to drive the market growth”
An increasing usage of antimicrobial protection products in various end-use industries is expected to propel the growth of the biocide market. Antimicrobial protection is a substance which exhibits the capacity to inhibit or lower the levels of microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. The biocides have widespread applications as a preservative, antimicrobial and disinfectant in numerous end-use industries such as paints and coatings, cosmetics and personal care, agrochemicals, food and beverages, water treatment, oil and gas, and pulp and paper. In hospitals and other institutions, the use of biocides is important to control and avoid the widespread of infectious diseases. For instance, in 2020 as per the report of "American Chemistry Council," which is a US-based industry trade association for American chemical companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic situation, more than 1,000 disinfectants were deemed and registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be effective against COVID-19 virus. Thus, a rise in the usage of antimicrobial protection in end-use industries is expected to drive the market growth.
What restraints the growth of biocides market?
“Multiple issues associated with biocides”
There are many challenging factors which are expected to hamper the growth of the global biocides market such as serious ecological consequences by the usage of biocides. Furthermore, anti-fouling paints contain some compounds such as tributyltin (TBT), this compound negatively affect the aquatic ecosystems. Hence, the use of tributyltin (TBT) has banned in several nations for commercial vessels.
