Surface Disinfectant Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Composition (Hydrogen Peroxide, Ammonium Compounds, Chlorine Compounds, Alcohols, Others), By Application (In-House Surfaces, Instruments, Others), By Type (Liquids, Sprays, Wipes), By End User (Hospitals, Laboratories, Pharmaceutical Companies, Households, Others) and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Surface Disinfectant Market size was valued at US$ 5,717.8 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 9,863.1 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 8.1% from 2025-2031. Surface Disinfection is a method to inactivate pathogens on inanimate surfaces and in turn works to avert the spread of bacteria from person to person or object to object. The act of disinfectant surfaces regularly is a proven method of disease prevention and control and is good practice for general hygiene. The key factors driving the market growth are escalating hospital-acquired infections, the subsequent rise in chronic diseases, the rising number of surgical procedures, and aggregating demand for disinfectants in the pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, clinics are anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.

According to the recent research publicized by the Journal of Infection in Developing Countries in February 2023, as of 2022, the inclusive occurrence of hospital-acquired infections in Southeast Asia was 22.7 %, with the uppermost prevalence rate of 32.4% stated in Indonesia. Consequently, with the rising burden of hospital-acquired infections, the stipulation for surface disinfection rises, which is anticipated to be robust surface disinfection in the forecast period. Moreover, the tactical instigations and endorsements by the market players are also anticipated to drive the market growth.

For instance, in March 2023, Neogene Company detailed that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has sanctioned additional virucide claims to its Neogene Viroxide Super disinfectant. These label claims specify that Neogene Viroxide Super slays viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces that cause Avian Influenza A, Bovine Viral Diarrheal, Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome (PRRS), and African Swine Fever. Moreover, the collaborations between hospitals, clinics, and market players are anticipated to drive market in the upcoming years. However, the complications associated with the surface disinfectant are certain chemical disinfectants cause health risks, toxicity and environmental impact, surface damage, residue build-up, and ineffectiveness against some pathogens remain significant barriers that hamper the demand for the growth of surface disinfectants in the forecast period.

Key Developments:

• In June 2023, Lysol, a Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC brand declared the inauguration of Lysol air sanitizer in the US. It is the first air sanitizer spray that is being sanctioned by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• In May 2023, LANXESS announced that the broad-spectrum disinfectant Rely On Virk has demonstrated an effect against the yeast Candida auris. Consequently, it can be utilized as a disinfectant in healthcare and institutional facilities where contamination with the drug-resistant yeast is either established, certainly suspected, or should be averted immediately.
