Biocides Market by Type (Halogen, Metallic Compounds, Organosulfur Compounds), by Application (Water & Wastewater Treatment, Healthcare & Personal Care, Consumer Goods), by Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America) – Global Forecast (2019 to 2027)

Biocides Market: Summary

The Global Biocides Market is projected to reach a value of over USD 14.4 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of around 4.5%.

Biocides are chemicals that combat pests or microorganisms. These biocides products are used to control and kill harmful and unwanted organisms such as mold, algae, bacteria, insects, and rodents. Biocides represent various products such as disinfectants, wood preservatives, rodenticides, antifouling agents (on boats), in-can preservatives, used in homes, and public places such as hospitals and industries.

Biocides Market: Drivers & Challenges

Market Driver:

• Increasing Demand from Water Treatment Application

In water treatment, biocides are used to eliminate the microbes. Water towers are ideal locations for the growth of biological organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, algae, sulphate-reducing bacteria, and protozoa. If their growth is not controlled, they form a layer of bio-slime that acts as a natural adhesive surface for scale formation, which may reduce the efficiency of the cooling system. In order for water systems to operate at their optimum efficiency, biocides are added to the water to remove the slimes, microbiological fouling, and biofilm from these systems. These biocide chemicals are widely used in cooling towers, spas and swimming pools, sewage treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment. Biocides are also used in water cleaning program to control biofouling in reverse osmosis membranes. Moreover, biocides are used before the RO system, to regulate bio-growth in the membrane. Thus, the increasing demand from water treatment application is expected to propel the global biocides market.

Market Restraint:

• Stringent Regulatory Framework for Biocidal Products

The stringent regulatory framework for biocidal products and the resultant additional costs concerning their manufacturing and registration is likely to hamper the global biocides market. For instance, since 2013, European biocide manufacturers have to ensure that their biocidal active substances undergo rigorous tests to meet the quality standards. To ensure such strict compliance, companies need to allocate a significant amount of capital and resources toward product development and regulatory approvals. These factors often discourage manufacturers from developing biocidal products, further hampering the market growth up to a certain extent.
