Global metal biocides market is
projected to reach $ 3.5 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 5% during 2019-2024,
on account of growing paints & coatings, medical and water treatment
industries. Metal biocides prevent microbial activities and their effectiveness
varies with the concentration as well as duration of exposure. The metal
biocides market find applications in numerous end-use industries including
agriculture, wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical and personal care. They are
used for the treatment of drinking water and wastewater as antifouling agents
and disinfectants in hospitals that prevent molluscs from accumulating in
industrial pipes. Furthermore, they find applications in preventing the growth
of algae and fungi on applied paints including varnishes and coatings.
Paints
& coatings segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in global metal
biocides market during the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for
metal biocides in household paints, varnishes, marine antifouling agents, etc.,
due to their effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of algae and fungi on
applied paints.
Based on type, global metal biocides
market has been segmented into silver, copper & alloys, zinc and others. In
2018, the silver-based metal biocide segment dominated the market and is
expected to grow at the fastest rate in coming years. The growth of this
segment is supplemented by the non-toxic, environment friendly and sustainable
nature of silver biocide. Despite the high cost, silver biocide is widely used
in the healthcare industry, owing to its high thermal stability, effectiveness,
unsurpassed safety, and the fact that it is approved by the Environment
Protection Agency (EPA).
Asia-Pacific,
North America and Europe have been considered as the main metal biocide markets
for the report. North America is the largest market for metal biocides,
globally, owing to the presence of key market players such as The Dow Chemical
Company (U.S.), Troy Corporation (U.S.), Milliken Chemical Company (U.S.), and
Noble Biomaterials Inc. (U.S.) in the region. Intense competition among the
major market players led to a price stabilization in the past few years. The
growing demand for metal biocides in the medical and foods & beverages
industries in the US is expected to drive the region’s metal biocides market during
forecast period.
Global
metal biocides market is growing at a moderate rate. Stringent regulations for
the production and consumption of metal biocides coupled with the requirement
of high capital investments are the key factors restraining market growth.
These factors create a huge entry barrier for new entrants in global metal
biocides market, which in turn discourages competition and lowers overall
market growth.
Some
of the key players operating in the market include BASF
SE, Clariant AG, The DOW Chemical Company, Lonza Group Ltd., Troy Corporation, Milliken
Chemical Company, Sanitized AG, Steritouch Ltd., Noble Biomaterials Inc. and Renaissance
Chemicals Ltd.
