The primary goal of healthcare professionals is preventing infections. This is especially significant in today’s dynamic healthcare environment, in the face of newly recognized pathogens and well-known microorganisms that have become resistant to treatment modalities, and the economic pressures to reduce healthcare-associated infections. Thus, a key infection control practice to reduce the likelihood of a surgical site infection is proper reprocessing of surgical instruments, medical devices and surfaces. However, effective reprocessing of instrumentation can only take place after thorough cleaning, as any disinfection or sterilization process is adversely affected by the presence of bioburden. Also, the disinfectant or agent used to clean surgical instruments is a key factor in instrument cleaning as well as safe patient care. Growing need to minimize surgical site infections is a major factor expected to drive the global surface disinfectant market in the next few years.

The global surface disinfectant market has been segmented based on composition, type, application, end-user, and region. Based on composition, the global surface disinfectant market is categorized into alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine compounds, and others. Alcohols grabbed significant share of the global market in 2019. Application-wise, the global surface disinfectant market is segmented into surface disinfection, instrument disinfection, and others. Surface disinfection captured high share of the market in 2019. On the basis of end-user, the surface disinfectant market is classified into hospitals and clinics, diagnostic centers, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, and others. Hospitals and clinics segment dominated the global surface disinfectant market in 2019 owing to wide usage of disinfectants in hospitals and clinics.

North America dominated the global surface disinfectant market in 2019. Higher incidences and huge cost burden of hospital acquired infections in the U.S. is a key factor likely to drive the growth of the market in the future. For instance, approximately 500,000 SSIs with an estimated cost of USD 10 billion occur annually in the U.S. alone. However, Asia Pacific surface disinfectant market is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace owing to large COVID-19 cases in the region which has led to increased awareness for cleaning, sterilization and disinfection among population.
