September 06, 2011

Wellesley, Mass. – In a recent release, ANTISEPTICS AND DISINFECTANTS (CHM052B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for antiseptics and disinfectants was valued at $4.2 billion in 2011. That number is projected to reach $7.1 billion in 2016 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%.

The global antiseptics and disinfectants market can be broken down into three main regions – the U.S., Europe, and the rest of the world.

The U.S. region was valued at $1.7 billion in 2011, and is expected to climb to nearly $2.9 billion in 2016, yielding a CAGR of 11%.

The European region was valued at $1.4 billion in 2011 and should grow to $2.4 billion in 2016, a CAGR of 11.2%.

The region made up of the rest of the world surpassed $1 billion in 2011 and should rise to nearly $1.8 billion in 2016 after growing at a CAGR of 11.3%.

The United States constituted approximately 41% of the total antiseptics and disinfectants market in 2010, while Europe contributed about 34%. A gloomy economy failed to have a negative impact on the antiseptics and disinfectants market as this industry is experiencing growth; consumers are now more aware than ever of diseases that can be caused by bacteria, so the use of antiseptics and disinfectants has increased. Many changes are occurring in market behavior, such as acquisitions, mergers, and alliances by companies and global organizations.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are the biggest consumer sectors of antiseptics and disinfectants. Major market participants include the Clorox Co., Diversey Inc., Reckitt Benckiser, Procter and Gamble, Ecolab Inc., Dow Microbial Control, and Agion Technologies.

This study will be of key interest largely to the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biopharmaceutical industries; clinics; hospitals; and research institutes.
