<p>In 2023, the <a title="surface disinfectant market " href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/surface-disinfectant-market-231286043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surface disinfectant market share</a> was valued at $2.6 billion and is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 9.4%. The growth is fueled by increased <a title="infection control" href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/infection-control-market-1084.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infection control</a> efforts, advanced disinfectant products, and an elevated focus on sanitation and hygiene in the wake of COVID-19.</p><p><a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=231286043" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u><strong>Download PDF brochure</strong></u></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Driver: Rising demand for infection control measures to curb hospital-acquired infections</strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">The major pathogens causing HAIs include C. difficile, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, and Escherichia coli. Transmission of pathogens can occur through direct contact with healthcare workers or a contaminated environment. The rising geriatric population and the increasing incidence of chronic diseases results in increased hospitalization rates, which, in turn, increases the occurrence of HAIs. This is expected to boost the demand for sterilization and disinfectant products.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Opportunity: Increasing healthcare expenditure and focus in emerging economies</strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Players in the sterilization and disinfection markets have a lot of opportunities in emerging economies like South Africa, Brazil, and India. These economies' rapidly aging populations, growing patient volumes, rising per capita incomes, and growing awareness all contribute to the need for better healthcare services. Multinational infection control companies can find profitable opportunities to offshore their business operations to emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Challenge: Stringent regulations</strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Regulatory guidelines for the use of surface disinfectants are very stringent in many developed countries.
