Biocides are chemicals that combat pests or microorganisms such as molds, bacteria, algae, insects, and rodents. Biocides include various products such as disinfectants, wood preservatives, rodenticides, antifouling agents (on boats), and in-can preservatives, which are used in homes, hospitals, industries, and others. Biocide preservation applications that encompass preservation of water-based paints, adhesives, polymer dispersions, and metal working fluids (implied during the shaping of metals) have high market demand, accounting for the highest consumption of speciality biocides both in terms of volume and value. Despite regulatory pressures reducing the number of biocides depending on their concentrations in end products, blends of carefully selected biocidal active substances in optimal ratios coupled with new advancements provide improved preservation solutions without the need for cautionary labelling.

Presently, the global biocides market is witnessing vivid opportunities due to increased focus of governments of various economies on the consumption of clean water. Biocides also find wide array of applications in a broad range of products such as antimicrobial coatings and food & pulp industry. Moreover, they control sulfate reducing bacteria and slime forming bacteria in oil well drilling, oil field processing, and gas storage equipment. Thus, emerging applications of biocides is another major factor anticipated to propel the growth of the global biocides market over the forecast period. In addition, growth in need for agrochemicals due to rise in demand for high-quality pest-free crops is another key aspect that drives the growth of global biocides market.
