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
- High Usage of Antimicrobial Protection in End Use Industries
Biocides have become increasingly popular in a variety of industries. Because cooling water systems provide a favorable environment for the growth of microorganisms, cooling towers are one of the most common application areas for biocides in power plants, mining, and chemical facilities is further anticipated to propel the growth of the biocides market.
- Increase in the Product Demand in Medical Industry
The medical business is expanding as a result of increased consumer awareness of health and hygiene. As a result, this factor is largely encouraging manufacturers to use new technologies in developing medical solutions, thus further contributing to the market growth.
- Growing Demand from Paints and Coatings Industry
The market is being driven by the growth of the paints and coatings market. The product is used to protect the painted surface against microbial contamination such as fungal or bacterial growth caused by air pollution and exposure to the outside environment in this sector.
Furthermore, the growing population has increased demand for agricultural products and created a global infrastructure need, as both the agriculture and construction sectors are heavy users of biocides in diverse commodities such as pesticides, plastics, and paints and coatings, which will further propel the growth rate of biocides market.
Opportunities
- Product Developments and Research and Development Activities
Furthermore, various product developments by the market players further enhance the applications of product, extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the growing research and development activities will further expand the future growth of the biocides market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Time-taking and Costly Registration Process
The biocidal product have to be approved before the before the market has put it on sale. Furthermore, before a biocidal product may be put on the market, the active ingredients in it must be approved. The cost of registering each biocides product under the new regulations, according to industry experts, is enormous. Furthermore, for the registration of all types of biocides, BPR necessitates massive amounts of toxicology and environmental effects testing. The registration process for biocidal products is slow and costly, posing a barrier to market expansion.
- Regulations and Raw Material Variations
On the other hand, the environmental regulations on the toxic biocides is further projected to impede the growth of the biocides market in the targeted period. However, the variations in the raw material prices might further challenge the growth of the biocides market in the near future. Therefore, these factors will further challenge the biocides market growth rate.
