Biocides Market: By Type, By Application and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Biocides Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Halogen Compounds, Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Metallic Compounds, Phenolic, Organic Acids, Organosulfur, and Others), By Application (Water Treatment, Food, and Personal Care Products, Cleaning Products, Furniture and Furnishings, Clothing and Textiles, Leather and Suede, Paints and Coatings, Fuel Preservatives, and Others) and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Biocides Market size was valued at US$ 11.8 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.2% during 2024-2030. 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 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.
