Market Definition
Biocides are products or chemicals that can kill or repel harmful organisms by the use of biological and chemical techniques. These harmful and unwanted organisms are such as algae, insects, mild, bacteria, and rodents. Biocides is used in the form of insecticides, preservatives, disinfectants, oxidizing agents and pesticides to control the harmful effect of microbes on human health. It can used in public places and homes such as industrial and hospitals. Biocide preservation applications are leading the market, accounting for the huge consumption of specialty biocides in both value and volume terms.
Biocides Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Rise in use of antimicrobial protection
The use of biocides has significantly augmented in several industries. Cooling tower is one of the major application zones of biocides in mining, power plants, and chemical plants, as cooling water systems which provide a favourable atmosphere for the growth of microorganisms. So, the biocides used as an antimicrobial coating that prevent the surface from a microorganism.
- Increase the demand in water treatment
The most prominent use of biocides is in water treatment. This is used to prevent antifouling and or algal contamination or bacterial in water systems, such as pools and spas, pulp and paper mills, cooling water systems, and industrial water treatment systems and municipal drinking water systems,. The susceptibility of wastewater in contamination and bacterial growth is considerably high because in the presence of high organic content that supports bacterial and algal build-up. Therefore, biocides in these plants have become essential for obtaining pure and clean water.
- Rise the demand in paint and coating industry
Paints and coatings are extremely vulnerable to airborne and waterborne microbial contaminants because of their storage system and exposure to bulk handling. Biocides in paints and coatings deliver numerous profits, including microbial growth prevention, dry-film preservation, and in-can preservation. It also helps to prevent fungal development after the film is formed and when the paint dries. Therefore, the product application in paints and coatings to escape their deterioration has become a must for the producers.
Opportunities
- Stringent rules and regulations for spreading consumer awareness
The government start number of initiatives to push for making clean water which will drive the biocides market in the upcoming years. Due to implementation of regulations to ascertain access to clean water and increasing awareness about water quality.
- Rise in product innovations
As the number of product innovations grows, so will the number of new market opportunities for the market's growth rate. Product innovations aimed at enhancing design and manufacturing processes are also assisting market growth. Manufacturers are developing more efficient, dependable, and convenient products.
Restraints/ Challenges
There are many challenges which are hampering the growth of the Europe biocides Market. The use of Biocides can lead to serious ecological consequences. Anti-fouling paints have compounds like TBT (Tributyltin) showing durable effects on aquatic ecosystems. Hence, it is banned in several nations for commercial vessels. The disposal of used or unwanted biocides results in various problems and long-term environmental damage. These are the challenging factors of the biocides market.
