Global Antiseptic and Disinfectant Market is estimated to be valued at over USD 71.1 billion by 2033 and register a CAGR of over 10.40% during the forecast period 2025 to 2033.
The global market is expected to grow as a result of infections acquired through hospital settings, the adoption of higher standards of hygiene and cleanliness, as well as the use of surgical units and endoscope reprocessing. The increased use of surgical units and gastrointestinal endoscopes (GI) due to a higher volume of surgeries performed globally is a feature that will boost the growth of the antiseptic and disinfectant market. GI endoscopy is a crucial element in the detection and subsequent treatment of disorders present in the gastrointestinal tract. Adequate handling of the GI endoscopy application is crucial because it aids in preventing the transmission of infection through endoscopes as well as lapses in reprocessing.
Furthermore, endoscopes require accurate reprocessing, as per infection control regulations, to minimize the risk factor, particularly when there is a contraction of patient-acquired microorganisms and environmental contaminants. As a result, cases where antiseptic and disinfectant solutions are handled and applied correctly become paramount to curb the potential transmission of infections. Furthermore, the exponential rise of endoscopy is anticipated to increase the risk of contracting such infections. Such examples are documented in the publishing by the British Society of Gastroenterology and BMJ Publishing Group Ltd that highlighted how the market has witnessed a rise in conditions such as symptomatic afflictions and bowel cancer screening, due to which, there is an aggregate demand for centers in the U.K. in recent years.
Among the prominent players heavily engaged in the antiseptic and disinfectant market is Cardinal Health, and their antiseptic products range from hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and even Chlorhexidine Gluconate. Their products are free from parabens, dyes, 1,4-dioxane, phthalates, and Q-15, and are not made with rubber latex. An example of their products is low-lint towels, which offer multiple advantages primarily due to their absorbency, latex and lint-free properties, and cost efficiency. The towels are designed for cleaning purposes.
The region of North America has captured much of the antiseptic and disinfectant market share which can be attributed to the rising geriatric population and their need for constant medical attention, the prevalence of surgical treatments available in clinical settings and the patterns of diseases within the population in the U.S. in addition, a tendency to clean surgical instruments using disinfectants has been observed in the healthcare units in the U.S., which is anticipated to drive the growth of the healthcare providers segment during the forecast time span. The antiseptic and disinfectant market in the Asia Pacific is also expected to grow, with the markets in Japan and China anticipated to achieve a considerable CAGR, thereby expanding the global antiseptic and disinfectant market size.
