The biocides industry had a difficult year as margins are being squeezed by increasing raw material and energy costs. In addition, the biocides industry has to contend with increasing regulatory pressures and generic competition from China and India.

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.

The global consumption of biocides in Metalworking Fluids was $ 105 million at active manufacture level in 2006, 40 % growth on 1996. This performance reflects not only end industry growth, regulatory and technological changes.

Specialty biocides include bactericides and fungicides. North America accounted for approximately 40% of this total. However, several factors are combining to bring the total market value up and the North American percentage down, according to Biocide Information Limited.

"Growth in the North American biocides market has slowed down, but competition for market share among the leaders has only accelerated. Consolidation in the industry has really raised the stakes for companies like Arch, Basf, Bode, Ciba, Clariant, Dow, ISP, Lanxess, Lonza, Rohm & Haas, Schulke & Mayr, Thor and Troy, and they're looking to Countries in developing regions."

Countries such as China, Eastern Europe, India and South America continue to offer growth opportunities as per capita income rises and human health issues are accorded more importance.

In addition, basic biocide producers will rely more on specialty niches i.e. hygiene sector for growth. "With mature markets in the large consuming regions and generic products starting to affect the market environment, specialty niches will offer a profitable outlet for active ingredient manufacturers," according to Biocide Information.

With increased attention to specialty market sectors and growing regional markets, Biocide companies are expected to introduce new formulations to address shifts in demand. In addition, these companies must also examine the specific needs of each regional market to adjust their strategies for growth accordingly.
