Disinfectant & Antimicrobial Chemicals Market

Disinfectant & Antimicrobial Chemicals Market: Introduction

Disinfectants & antimicrobial chemicals are used to destroy microorganisms or to inhibit their growth. Disinfectants are mainly used as surface-active agents, applied on the surface of inanimate objects, materials or to prevent infection on tissues before surgery. Whereas antimicrobials are mainly used as antibiotics and antiseptics which not only destroy microorganisms on living tissue but also destroy microorganisms within the body.

Disinfectants & antimicrobial chemicals inhibit the growth by destroying the cell wall of microorganisms or stop the reproduction of microorganisms by interfering with their metabolic activity. Disinfectant & antimicrobial chemicals will witness significant growth as antimicrobial agents in products such as paint, floor coverings, home textiles, and other construction materials.

In the market of disinfectant & antimicrobial chemicals, prominent players have witnessed several recent developments, expansions, mergers, and joint ventures to strengthen their market position and to offer long-term supply to their customers.

For instance, on February 13, 2018, AkzoNobel and Evonik Industries AG successfully started up a joint-ventured plant to manufacture chlorine and potassium hydroxide at the company’s Ibbenbüren site in Germany. Chlorine is used as an essential ingredient in the manufacturing process of disinfectants. Advantages of antibacterial products along with the need to ensure hygienic conditions in medical, households, and commercials will support the disinfectant & antimicrobial market.
