The global animal disinfectants market is projected to grow from USD 3.9 billion in 2024 to USD 5.7 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.9%. This growth is primarily driven by rising awareness among consumers and industries about the importance of animal health and hygiene across livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors. Additionally, there is increasing awareness around the prevention of infectious diseases in animals, which can significantly impact agriculture. Strict food safety and biosecurity regulations from governments are also fueling demand for effective disinfectant solutions. The development of new, eco-friendly, and biodegradable disinfectant formulations—ranging from iodine and phenol to hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium compounds—further contributes to market expansion by addressing specific needs in diverse animal farming environments. It is crucial that these disinfectants are safe for animals, humans, and the environment, as adverse effects on any of these can inhibit market growth.

Animal Disinfectants Market Drivers: Rising Incidences of Livestock Diseases

An alarming rise in African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks across Europe exemplifies the growing need for robust disease prevention. According to a 2022 report from the European Parliament’s ADIS, there were 537 ASF outbreaks in domestic pigs and 7,442 in wild boars across Europe, affecting numerous countries. By 2023, the ASF outbreak numbers surged, with 902 cases in domestic pigs and 5,445 in wild boars recorded by mid-year. This sharp increase highlights the pressing threat to animal health, economic stability, and food security in regions dependent on pig farming, underscoring the importance of biosecurity, disease surveillance, and disinfection measures.

Growth of Powdered Animal Disinfectants

The powdered form of animal disinfectants is forecasted to capture a significant market share due to advantages like easy storage, transport, and application compared to liquid disinfectants. Powdered disinfectants are particularly effective for targeting surfaces, reaching difficult areas, and controlling biofilms to prevent cross-contamination. These products are less prone to spills or leaks, enhancing their convenience and safety. In March 2023, Neogen launched Viroxide Super, a peroxygen-based powder disinfectant with new virucidal claims in the US and Canada against multiple viruses, including Avian Influenza and ASF, aligning with the rising demand for powdered solutions.

Regional Insights: Asia Pacific to Lead Market Growth

From 2024 to 2029, the Asia Pacific region is expected to experience the highest growth rate in the animal disinfectants market due to increasing ASF incidences. Recent outbreaks across Malaysia, Singapore, and India have necessitated significant disease control efforts. For instance, in 2024, over 10,300 pigs were culled in Mizoram and 310 in Kerala to contain ASF outbreaks. This crisis is boosting demand for effective disinfectants as governments and farms focus on biosecurity and disease management, thus driving market growth in the region.
