Food Disinfection Market size was valued at USD 13,523.8 Million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during 2024-2030. The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of hygiene and sanitation in food production and handling. Consumers are increasingly aware of foodborne illnesses and their consequences, the growing popularity of convenient, processed foods creates a demand for effective disinfection methods to ensure product safety during processing and packaging, and governments worldwide are implementing stricter regulations around food safety. This compels food processors and retailers to adopt effective disinfection practices, driving the market for food disinfectants across the industry.

Implementing and maintaining effective disinfection procedures can be expensive for some food businesses, especially smaller players, and some traditional chemical disinfectants can have negative health and environmental impacts. This raises concerns among consumers and some food producers, potentially limiting market growth. North America is currently the largest market for food disinfection, due to the presence of a well-developed food processing industry and stringent food safety regulations. Advancements in disinfection technologies like UV light, ozone, and cold plasma offer efficient and potentially safer alternatives to traditional chemical disinfectants. Growing consumer preference for natural and organic products presents an opportunity for the development and marketing of eco-friendly food disinfectants.

Food Disinfection Market Recent Key Developments:
  • In Sept. 2022, Neogen Corporation declared that it had completed the previously announced on December 14, 2021 merger with 3M’s Food Safety business to create an innovative leader in the food safety sector with a comprehensive product range and a strategic focus on the category’s long-term growth opportunities.
  • In May 2020 Ecolab the global leader in water, food safety, and hygiene technologies and services, completed the Acquisition of Global Livestock Biosecurity and Hygiene Provider CID Lines, Forming a New Animal Health Division
