India Surface Disinfectant
Products Market is anticipated to grow at an impressive CAGR during the
forecast period. The market is driven by rising hygiene awareness, increased
risk of COVID-19, and consumer preference towards eco-friendly products.
Due to the increase in the
worldwide pandemic, the market is expanding due to the increased utility of
keeping regularly touched surfaces sterilized. The industry has grown as the rising consumer awareness to maintains
hygienic conditions in living spaces and families has increasing importance. In
addition, increased safety and health requirements in the workplace, new
product launches, and an increase in healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are
all contributing to the growth of the surface disinfectant market in India.
The lack of water in major
Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai leads to a huge demand
for surface disinfectants, which use less to no water. As a result, numerous
producers are making cleaning agents that use less water. For instance,
Diversey introduced the TASKI Fresh and Clean Urinal Screen and Good Sense Odor
Eliminator for restrooms in 2021. These products can reduce odors and save up
to 12,000 liters of water annually.
Due to the rise in contagious
diseases, people in India are becoming more conscious of basic hygiene, which
has significantly increased the demand for cleaning supplies. India has the
second-highest rate of child casualties in Southeast Asia, according to the
WHO, due to inadequate hygienic conditions. In addition, India's poor
sanitation and hygiene standards annually cause over 100,000 child deaths and
an enormous cost of USD 54 billion. Due to this, the market for surface
disinfectants is increasing as people are getting aware of the adverse effects
of not using the disinfectant.
Government Initiatives are
Fueling the Market Demand
To raise awareness about
sanitation and hygiene in homes, communities, and schools, many organizations
in India are putting together sanitation initiatives. One such initiative,
called "Right to Sanitation," is run by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
India in collaboration with donors and civil society organizations. The
initiative is built on a holistic model that emphasizes building toilets to
solve issues with health and cleanliness. The program is built on three
pillars: building toilets, educating people about sanitation and hygiene, and
maintaining the facilities for sustainability.
Another body that has created
thorough standards for hospitals and healthcare professionals is the National
Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers. If the hospital
doesn't meet the standards, this organization can streamline its operations.
