The APAC agricultural disinfectants market size is expected to reach USD 0.47 billion in 2024 and reach USD 0.64 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecasted period from 2024 to 2029.
Disinfectant for Agriculture is required to combat the numerous pests that have a devastating effect on crops and negatively influence the economic production of farms. In multiple ways, microbial pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) interfere with the healthy growth processes of plants. For instance, it may lower crop stand by removing plants, restricting inputs such as light, CO2, or water, directly altering metabolic and growth rates, or terminating or consuming already created material. Consequently, pathogen control using agricultural disinfection plays a crucial role in protecting crop productivity from weeds, animal pests, diseases, and viruses.
Asia-Pacific is the world's fastest-growing market, including emerging economies such as China and India. Agricultural disinfectants protect crops and cattle from microbiological illnesses like fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The major global businesses are attempting to enter the market since the Asia-Pacific area has enormous potential; nevertheless, the rigorous government rules and lack of product awareness have been a vital deterrent for the companies. As a result, investment, expansion, and mergers are some of the primary methods employed by the market's dominant companies.
Several considerations must be taken into account before picking a disinfectant. Some disinfectants are adequate for routine disinfection protocols on a farm or veterinary clinic, while others are required in outbreak conditions. For an effective disinfection strategy, consideration must be given to the targeted microorganism, the features of a particular disinfectant, and environmental concerns. In addition, the health and safety of personnel and animals are always crucial factors to consider. The degree to which microorganisms are susceptible to disinfectants varies. Gram-positive bacteria are generally more vulnerable to chemical disinfectants than mycobacteria or bacterial endospores. An ideal disinfectant would be one that was effective across a wide range of environments, was safe to use, would not cause skin or eye irritation, would not cause corrosion, and would not be prohibitively expensive. Unfortunately, there is no perfect disinfectant. Selecting the most beneficial, practical, and cost-effective disinfection necessitates carefully analyzing the product's qualities.
The APAC Agricultural Disinfectants Market is driven by several variables, one of which is an increased demand for animal products. The World Health Organization has banned antibiotics in animal products to avoid adverse effects. Antibiotic resistance in humans as The World Health Organization has banned the use of antibiotics in animal products to avoid adverse effects of antibiotics in humans. The development of vertical farming is also another driver in the APAC Agricultural Disinfectants Market. Increasing emphasis and research on enhancing the quality of disinfectants also contribute to expanding the market for agricultural disinfectants. Greenhouse vegetable production and an increase in livestock diseases are a few other drivers in the APAC Agricultural Disinfectants Market.
However, obstacles such as the high cost of disinfectants and farmers' lack of knowledge about disinfectants constrain the market. The lower technology adoption among the manufacturers also works as a restraint in APAC agricultural disinfectants market.
Due to the COVID–19 Outbreak, agricultural output is anticipated to suffer difficulties, trade, delivery issues, and more, impacting agricultural disinfectants. COVID-19 caused disruptions in the supply chain due to transportation limitations imposed by various countries; export-import was also affected. During this period, numerous production plants were shuttered due to the lockdown and regulation of commutation, causing a decline in the industry. As dependent industries were also negatively hit, disinfectants' demand declined. However, the APAC agricultural disinfectants market has recently recovered and is anticipated to expand enormously.
Based on type, quaternary ammonium compounds and phenols hold the largest share of the APAC Agricultural Disinfectants Market. There are numerous benefits of these types, such as effective, non-toxic, preventing regrowth, promoting microbial detachment, non-irritating, non-corrosive, odorless, and flavorless. Phenol is extensively employed for disinfecting equipment or organic materials that are to be destroyed (infected food and excreta) because it has good penetration into organic matter. Additionally, quaternary ammonium compounds and phenols are easily accessible at a reasonable price. The demand for quaternary ammonium compounds and phenols is expected to increase throughout the forecast period due to result comprehensive properties of these types of disinfectants.
According to segmentation by application, the Surface segment is ruling with the dominant shares of the market. Agricultural disinfectants are predominantly utilized for water purification and aerial and surface cleaning. As a result of worsening water quality, agricultural disinfectants are used to enhance their quality. It is utilized in aerial disinfection to minimize dust and microorganisms. It disinfects the surface by removing any germs or organic materials.
Due to the increasing need for agricultural disinfectants from animal farms, livestock farms hold a substantial part of the agricultural disinfectants market. Disease concerns in livestock production facilities, such as barns, etc., include more use of agricultural disinfectant. Due to the requirements of a growing fetus or infant, pregnant animals and nursing moms are also susceptible. Implementation of farm biosecurity through the use of agricultural disinfectants removes harmful organisms from the farm environment. It protects animals, and the human food supply is expected to drive the APAC agricultural disinfectants market throughout the forecast period.
Based on segmentation by form, the liquid segment is anticipated to grow faster because of its availability, affordability, and usability. The critical advantage of liquid disinfection is its ability to improve crop quality and yield. In addition to its usage in agriculture, it is also beneficial in enhancing animal illness problems.
Based on region, China has the highest demand for agricultural disinfectants market due to the growing population and continuous research and innovation, which accelerates the direction of agricultural disinfectants. India's agricultural disinfectants market is expected to have significant growth opportunities in the coming years.
