Summary

The global biocides market was valued at $8.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $13.1 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2023 to 2033.
Biocides are chemical substances or microorganisms that control or eliminate harmful organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and pests from various settings. They find applications in various industries such as healthcare, agriculture, water treatment, and manufacturing as biocides prevent contamination, preserve materials, and ensure hygiene & safety. Common types of biocides include disinfectants, preservatives, pest control agents, and antifouling products.
Governments and health organizations globally have implemented strict guidelines to ensure public health, food safety, and environmental protection, which act as a major driver of the biocides market. These regulations mandate the use of effective antimicrobial agents to control harmful microorganisms in critical areas such as healthcare settings, food processing facilities, and water treatment plants. Moreover, the healthcare industry relies heavily on biocides for sterilization and disinfection to prevent hospital-acquired infections, which augments the market growth notably. To improve the performance of biocides and ensure their safety, development of novel formulations is currently trending among manufacturers. They are focusing on the incorporation of microemulsions, hybrid nanocomposites, and nanoemulsions to enhance the biocidal activity and increase water solubility, making the chemical effective at low concentrations.
However, the process of registering & commercializing a new biocidal product is a time- and capital-intensive process that hampers the market growth as it requires substantial investments in R&D and regulatory compliance. With changing regulations around the trading of biocides, manufacturers are expected to conduct extensive testing to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and environmental impact of their products. For instance, the Canadian Government has modified the control of these chemicals with the newly registered “Biocides Regulations” that are set to come into force in May 2025. Under these regulations, biocides are projected to undergo a pre-market assessment with the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate of Canada and be issued with a market authorization before their import, selling, or advertising. On the contrary, increase in research for the development of bio-based biocides using bacteriophages, essential oils, and biopolymers is anticipated to present lucrative opportunities for the market. This is attributed to rise in awareness among consumers regarding the environmental benefits and health advantages of plant-based biocides.
