They are primarily used to kill harmful organisms and control bacterial or fungal growth. These can be categorized into three types- Oxidizing, Non-Oxidizing, and Others. Non- Oxidizing had a larger share in terms of value in 2020 as compared to Oxidizing Biocides and Others. Household & personal care is the largest application segment of the biocides market. APAC was the largest market for biocides in 2020, in terms of value. Factors such as stringent regulatory environment, need for clean drinking water and need for preservatives will drive the biocides market. Oxidizing biocides is estimated to be the fastest-growing type in the Biocides market for the forecast period These are chemicals that have the ability to kill microorganisms through the electrochemical process of oxidation. In the oxidation process, the biocide gains an electron from bacteria, and this electron loss destroys the bacteria. Oxidizing biocides are most effective in a system that uses a high volume of water. The major types of oxidizing biocides used for water treatment are chlorine, bromine, iodine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, sodium chlorite, calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, peracetic acids, hypobromous acid, and sodium bromide, among other biocides. According to industry experts, oxidizing biocides are heavily used in water treatment because of their lower cost than non-oxidizing biocides. Water treatment was the second major application for the biocides market in 2020 in the world The biocides market size for water treatment applications accounted for the second-largest share of global biocides, in terms of value, in 2020 this was led by the demand from the water treatment for oil & gas industry followed by municipal water treatment application. Municipal water treatment is the second-largest end-user of biocides within the water treatment application. The growing global population has increased the demand for treated water. In addition, water treatment is necessary in order to overcome water scarcity challenges. Thus, the growing need for treating and reusing water has increased the use of biocides. Municipalities treat water to meet the growing demand for potable water and comply with regulatory requirements for water. In addition, the sources of water for municipalities are lakes, rivers, and underground wells, among others, and these untreated waters contain various microorganisms such as
