Alcohol Based Disinfectant Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2030

Global Alcohol Based Disinfectant Market Overview    

The global Alcohol Based Disinfectant market accounted for USD 2.2 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 4.5 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of around 9.3% between 2021 and 2028.   

Alcohol-based disinfectants are antimicrobial agents that are added to a surface to destroy microorganisms and provide a sterile atmosphere. The term "alcohol-based disinfectant" refers to a concentrated solution of alcohol (mostly isopropyl alcohol) used for sanitation. Alcohol-based disinfectants are made up of a mixture of 60–90% alcohol and 10–30% distilled water. For cleansing and moisturizing purposes, alcohol-based disinfectants are added to glycerin soaps. Alcohol-based disinfectants are used in aerosol sprays used for coverage and adhesion on rough surfaces such as counter-tops, showers, and toilets. Alcohol is an excellent disinfectant since it evaporates quickly and leaves no traces. Alcohols can also dissolve liquids, making them effective against viral cells that are covered in liquid. Furthermore, they are low-cost and easy to use. Because of the increase in hospital-acquired infections, nearly all hospitals now use alcohol-based disinfectants in any operation.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The worldwide lockdown of processing plants as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic has affected supply chains. However, new entrants in the manufacture of sanitizers and disinfectants have emerged to meet the growing demand for alcohol-based chemicals in the wake of an increase in COVID-19 cases around the world. Because of the growing use of these chemicals for disinfection purposes in clinics, laboratories, private offices, and households, government lockdowns and production halts have had no effect on this sector. The market would remain bullish in upcoming year. 

The significant increase in the global Alcohol Based Disinfectant market size in 2020 is estimated on the basis of the COVID-19 outbreak and its positive impact on the economies and industries across the globe. Various scenarios have been analyzed on the basis of inputs from various secondary sources and the current data available about the situation.

Growth Factors

A variety of epidemics have been recorded in the last few years. From previous outbreaks of Nipah and Ebola to the current Coronavirus pandemic, these have prompted people to take greater precautions to protect themselves against potentially lethal viral infections. Alcohol-based disinfectants are also essential in the fight against COVID-19 which has boosted the market growth in last year. The demand for alcohol-based disinfectants and sanitizers has increased as people become more aware of the importance of sanitation and cleanliness in order to avoid contamination.

However, the increased use of non-alcoholic based disinfectants can suppress the growth of the alcoholic based disinfectant market in the coming years.
