Biocides Market size was valued at USD 7,591.2 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.4% over 2023-2029. Biocides are chemicals used to disinfect, kill, and inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as fungus, bacteria, and viruses. This substance is typically mixed with other materials for use in consumer goods, paints and coatings, and water treatment sectors. Based on their raw material source, they are classified as natural biocide or synthetic biocide. Increasing consumer awareness of cleanliness and self-hygiene is driving up product demand. Moreover, people's sensitivity to allergens and dust is opening up new markets for biocides. The widespread use of wood in buildings in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors has aided the spread of biocides in wood preservation. However, during the last few years, product usage has revealed negative health impacts, leading to public health worries. Chemical Ranking and Scoring (CRS) procedures have been implemented internationally for effective product management to restrict the movement of biocides and monitor the consumption and handling of diverse biocide products. CRS gives data on aspects such as toxicity and exposure to different biocide agents. Many governments in all main areas have implemented rules and regulations to reduce the negative impacts of biocides, which can stifle market growth.
Biocides Market Key Developments:
- In May 2022, LANXESS AG purchased the microbial control business unit of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a US-based company (IFF Inc.). This purchase will assist LANXESS AG in expanding its biocidal active ingredient portfolio and microbial control business.

Biocides Market Dynamics
Biocides are increasingly being used in a variety of sectors. Cooling towers are an important application area for biocides in power plants, mining, and chemical facilities, as cooling water systems provide an ideal habitat for microbe development. Slime formation refers to the uncontrolled development of microorganisms on surfaces. Slimes are made up of both biological and non-biological components. The biological component is called biofilm, and it is made up of microbial cells and their byproducts.
Asia-Pacific Got Significant Share
Biocides Market Regional Analysis
The global biocides market in Asia Pacific held the highest share, and it is expected to grow at a significant rate in the coming years. Due to the increasing manufacture of disinfectants, notably during the COVID-19 epidemic, and the high demand for application-specific cleaning solutions. Antimicrobial compounds with high activity are required for disinfectants used in industrial, commercial, or residential settings. This has increased the need for cost-effective and efficient biocide active compounds significantly. Pulp and paper are predicted to see an increase in demand for biocides, owing to increased high-end paper production, significant recycling, and tighter laws governing the pulp and paper industry's effluent emissions.
