The global surface disinfectant market size was valued at USD 5.85 billion in 2023 and is expecte to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2024 to 2030. The growth is attributed to several factors such as changing lifestyles in developing economies and the rising awareness among livestock farmers concerning animal diseases and disinfections in livestock farms.

There has been a significant rise in demand for cleaning products, sanitizers, and disinfectants as surface disinfectant market is experiencing a resurgence globally, fueled by a heightened awareness of hygiene and sanitation post-pandemic. This has led to a surge in demand for products that combat germs and viruses on surfaces and positively impacted market growth.

The raw materials used in the production of surface disinfectants are primarily the by-products of the petroleum sector. Local manufacturers in the developed economies of Europe, North America, and China mainly source these raw material ingredients. Recently, the industry observed a shift in the trend toward the usage of biodegradable surface disinfectants for preventing chemical-related toxicity. The raw materials required for biodegradable surface disinfectants are cheaper in comparison to chemicals and are easily available. As a result, bio-based surface disinfectant demand is expected to overtake conventional petroleum-based surface disinfectants in the coming future.
