Biocides in Industrial & Institutional Products 2010
Biocide Information Limited, March 2010, Pages: 70
Growth of disinfectants and sanitizers in household, industrial, and institutional products are leading the demand growth for Biocides according to the latest report from Biocides Information. The sales of disinfection type products are significantly ahead with consumer awareness of hand hygiene remaining high following the swine flu outbreak.
In addition, the green trend is affecting customers of specialty biocides within the household, industrial, and institutional cleaning products sector. The importance of this trend has been acknowledged not only by such specialty companies but by major mainstream companies in the industry such as Clorox.
Following the green cleaning trend, environmentally friendly biocides used in disinfectants and sanitizers are being preferred to other biocide formulations. Biocides which are highlighted as being environmentally friendly are those which break down quickly to non-polluting constituents with no potential to bioaccumulate.
'Although green cleaning products only comprise a small percentage of the total household, industrial, and institutional cleaning products market, sustainability and environmental responsibility is where the industry is focused,' says Niall D’Arcy, Project Manager at Biocide Information Limited. 'As there is currently no uniform industry definition for green, it creates a huge challenge for chemical suppliers to develop and then position their products to address this market movement.'
Biocide Information's Specialty Biocides 2010: A Global Series of Regional Market Analyses presents an overview of market developments and regulatory issues in each regional market and provides estimated consumption of biocides by volume and value according to end-use application, as well as a five-year outlook.
Most biocide active ingredient manufacturers are 'positive' on this market due to favourable trends, and while it may be difficult to develop new active ingredients, there is a lot of development work going on to find the right combination of actives and new formulations to adapt to end-user demands. For the future, the growing use of biocides as hygiene aids, regulatory and consumer fears will be the main drivers of growth e.g. industrial and institutional cleaning and anti-bacterial soaps due to the fear from swine flu.
It may be difficult to develop new active ingredients but there is a lot of development work going on to find “environmentally friendly” biocides and the right combination of actives and formulations to adapt to end-user demands. China and India continue to grow but offer different challenges in comparison to the mature markets of the United States and Europe.
This report provides in depth information on the market for biocide products within Industrial & Institutional Products. It includes detailed market analyses and discussions of industry trends. It assesses the impact of current and emerging regulations on the biocides used.
The report develops forecasts for biocides from 2010 through 2015. It discusses the efforts of biocide manufacturers and formulators in launching new biocide formulations to meet changing market requirements, for example build up of resistance, lower costs, regulations.
The report also provides an overview for biocides for each of the major geographical regions. It provides value and volume data for different biocides. In addition, the report provides a summary of each of the biocides that are being used to control microbes within consumer and industrial applications. Industry influences on the biocides market are also discussed.
The scope of the study is worldwide. The overview section provides extended definitions of the biocides to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the technology involved. In addition, this section provides an analysis of biocide consumption by application and region. There is a profile of an ideal biocide as outlined by end users.
The company profiles section includes a detailed discussion of the companies that have pioneered biocide development and examines how their available products and services are setting the standards for preservation.
In this report, more than 30 companies are discussed, and 10 of the most important companies are examined in depth. The base year for this study is 2009. Figures are based on revenue figures at the manufacturers' level and also at the formulated products level and are projected at 2009-U.S. dollar value.
