Biocidal products refer to active substances or compositions that are used to deter, render, destroy harmless microorganisms, or exert a controlling effect on hazardous organisms, by chemical or biological means. Based on their properties, such products can act as pesticides, disinfectants, or preservatives. There are two types of biocides– oxidizing and nonoxidizing. Oxidizing biocides, such as chlorine, sodium bromide, and peracetic acid, attack microorganisms by oxidizing the cell structure and disrupting nutrients by percolating through the cell walls. Whereas, nonoxidizing biocides attack microorganisms by interfering with reproduction, breaking the cell walls, or stopping the respiration process.
The increasing requirement for such products for preserving personal care, healthcare, and home care products will drive the biocides market at a 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2019–2024). According to P&S Intelligence, the market will produce around 1,376.6 kilotons of biocides by 2024. Biocides are used as disinfectants, sterilant, and preservatives in consumer products as they prevent or eliminate microbial growth. Thus, the burgeoning demand for consumer goods will augment the need for biocidal products in the forthcoming years.
Additionally, biocidal products are also used for treating water for both residential and industrial purposes. Apart from water treatment, these substances are also used for disinfecting the equipment used in the storage, production, and transportation of water. Varied applications of biocides in water treatment, production, storage, and transportation can be attributed to their ability to impair the growth of bacteria and protozoa and act as anti-fouling agents. These substances are primarily used at waterworks to maintain the microbiological quality of water before and during its distribution.
Geographically, the Asia-Pacific biocides market is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This will be due to the soaring demand for treated water in China, India, and several other Southeast Asian countries for residential and industrial applications. Thus, the expanding industrial sector in APAC, owing to the rapid shift of manufacturing base from developed countries to this part of the world, will fuel the demand for biocidal products in the forecast years.
Thus, the amplifying demand for treated water and rising penetration of consumer products will propel the need for biocides in the forthcoming years.
The biocides market is expected to register a CAGR of over 5.5% during the forecast period 2019-2024.
The market is driven by the increasing number of water treatment plants in Middle-East & African countries, along with the increasing demand from the food & beverage industry.- However, the market growth is hindered by the increasing regulations on usage of chlorine.- The Growing Awareness in Agricultural Sector globally is likely to act as an opportunity for the biocides market over the forecast period.Access the PDF sample of the report @ https://www.orbisresearch.com/contacts/request-sample/3586415Key Market TrendsIncreasing Demand From the Water Treatment Application- Biocides are used in water treatment to eliminate the microbes.
Water towers are ideal locations for the growth of biological organisms, such as bacteria, algae, fungi, sulphate-reducing bacteria, and protozoa.- If their growth is not controlled, they form a layer of bio-slime, which acts as a natural adhesive surface for scale formation, which might 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 chemicals are widely used in cooling towers, spas & swimming pools, sewage treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment.
Biocides are also used in water cleaning program to control biofouling in reverse osmosis membranes.
These biocides are used prior to the RO system, to regulate bio-growth in the membrane.- With the increasing demand from water treatment application, the demand for biocides is also rapidly increasing.North America Currently hold the Largest Share in Biocides Market- The United States is one of the largest markets for biocides, and it is expected to increase further during the forecast period, because of the growing end-user industries, such as water treatment, paints & coatings, food & beverage, etc.- Due to the aging of the existing water and wastewater treatment units in the country, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is emphasizing on the improvement of water and sewage services, especially in the municipal wastewater treatment.
The organization also estimates a capital investment of USD 600 billion toward its improvement over the next two decades and is focused on the usage of biological water treatment.- Moreover, USEPA has also been focusing on supplying clean drinking water and runs a fund called ‘Clean Water State Revolving Fund’, by which it finances the environmental compliances to meet the infrastructural needs.
