The surface disinfectant market is fueled by the rapid expansion of the healthcare sector and the increasing number of surgical procedures. Additionally, the rising prevalence of HAIs and expanding geriatric population are boosting the market for surface disinfectants. However, the increasing adoption of alternative surface disinfection methods and products is restraining the market growth during the forecast period. The increasing presence of medical device and pharmaceutical companies in developing countries poses an opportunistic factor for market growth. Strict regulatory requirements are challenging the growth of the surface disinfectant market across the forecast period.
By composition, the chlorine compounds segment of the surface disinfectant market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on composition, the surface disinfectant market is divided into alcohols, chlorine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, phenolic compounds, and other compositions. Chlorine compounds segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. This is due to their strong oxidizing properties, which make them highly effective against a broader range of pathogens.
Chlorine-based disinfectants are effective against most microbes, including bacterial spores. One of the key advantages of chlorine-based disinfectants is their residual effect, which provides prolonged antimicrobial activity on treated surfaces. This feature makes them particularly valuable in high-risk areas such as hospitals, intensive care units (ICUs), and operating rooms, where strict infection control measures are required. Chlorine compounds are generally corrosive to metals and are not used on metal surfaces of medical devices and instruments. These compounds have very low stability and need to be used immediately or need to be prepared frequently.
By end user, the hospitals, clinics, and ASCs segment held the largest share in the surface disinfectant market in 2024.
Based on the end user, the surface disinfectant market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and ASCs, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, and research laboratories. The hospitals, clinics, and ASCs segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and CVDs, has been a key contributor to the increase in the number of surgeries conducted globally. Most surgeries are conducted in hospital inpatient settings, which highlights the need to ensure that effective sterilization and disinfection procedures are followed. This also helps combat the incidence of HAIs, such as nosocomial infections or infections that contain antimicrobial resistance.
However, governments and health organizations (CDC, WHO, and regional authorities) are enforcing strict hygiene and sanitation standards in healthcare facilities, pushing hospitals and clinics to use more surface disinfectants, especially those with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, influencing market demand.
North America dominated the global surface disinfectant market in 2024.
The surface disinfectant market is segmented into five major regional segments, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the largest market share of the surface disinfectant market in 2024. This is due to the rising prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), an expanding patient population, and an increasing geriatric demographic. Additionally, the growing incidence of chronic diseases and the implementation of favorable government policies have further driven demand for surface disinfectants. The enforcement of stringent sterilization and disinfection regulations, along with the presence of a well-established healthcare infrastructure in the US and Canada, continues to support market expansion.
Moreover, the presence of major players such as 3M (US), Procter & Gamble (US), The Clorox Company (US), Ecolab (US), and STERIS (US) in this region also supports growth in the surface disinfectant market.
