DUBLIN, September 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Surface Disinfectant Market by Type (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Phenol, Alcohol), Formulation (Liquid, Spray, Wipe), Application (In-house, Instrument), End User (Hospitals, Laboratories) - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global surface disinfectant market is expected to reach USD 789.1 Million by 2022 from USD 529.6 Million in 2017, at a CAGR of 8.3%

Surface disinfectants are chemical formulations that eliminate microorganisms from surfaces or significantly decrease the possibility of their transfer through hand contact between surfaces. These include bedside tables, chairs, walls, floors, and medical equipment (clinical contact surfaces). Increasing number of surgical procedures, rising geriatric population, and subsequent growth in the prevalence of chronic diseases are the major driving factors for this market.

The surface disinfectants market is segmented on the basis of type, formulation, application, and end user. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorhexidine gluconate, phenolic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, and other surface disinfectants. The quaternary ammonium compounds segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2017. The growth in this segment is primarily attributed to widespread availability and large consumption of surface disinfectants in hospitals.

Based on formulation, the surface disinfectant market is segmented into liquids, wipes, and sprays. In 2017, the liquids segment accounted for the largest share of the market. Factors such as the increasing demand for the disinfection of hospital areas and the wide adaptability of these formulations are expected to drive the growth of this market segment.

By region, the surface disinfectants market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, however, the Asian region is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The presence of emerging economies like China and India; large population; growth in the number of hospitals, and increasing awareness about infection control in the region are some of the key factors driving the high growth of this regional segment.
