The growing awareness of environmental sustainability is expected to drive the growth of the biobased disinfectant market in the future. Environmental sustainability involves the responsible management and conservation of natural resources to ensure the health and stability of the environment for both present and future generations. This concept is gaining traction due to escalating global concerns regarding climate change, resource depletion, and the long-term viability of ecosystems. Biobased disinfectants support environmental sustainability by reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals derived from non-renewable resources, minimizing negative environmental impacts, and promoting the use of natural ingredients. For example, in April 2024, the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business, a US-based academic and research institution, reported that the share of sustainability-marketed products rose from 17.3% in 2022 to 18.5% in 2023. Therefore, the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability is propelling the growth of the biobased disinfectant market.

Leading companies in the biobased disinfectant market are focusing on creating plant-based disinfectants to meet the rising consumer demand for eco-friendly and effective cleaning solutions. Plant-based disinfectants are formulated from natural plant-derived ingredients intended to kill or inhibit harmful microorganisms. For instance, in August 2024, The Clorox Company introduced Clorox EcoClean Disinfecting Wipes. Designed for cleaning professionals, these wipes are made with a 100% plant-based substrate and utilize naturally-derived citric acid as the active ingredient.
