In the Middle East & Africa, the surface disinfectant market had a slow growth rate until COVID-19 hit the region and spiked significantly with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. Creating popularity over the use of these chemical agents, even in undeveloped countries, is merely to boost the regional market growth. Chemical substances that are applied to non-living objects and on floor surfaces to destroy microorganisms are called disinfectants. The primary use of disinfectants is to prevent infectious diseases. Surfaces are designated as noncritical items as they contact intact skin. The usage of noncritical items or contact with noncritical surfaces has a low risk of causing an infection in humans. Nevertheless, the surface should be clean in clinics, hospitals, and Ambulatory surgical centers since there is a greater probability of an infection spreading among patients and staff. Surface disinfectants play a major role in preventing infection.
