There is an increased demand for bromine and its derivatives from the enduse sectors such as agriculture, oil & gas, textile, electronics, ship & automotive, pharmaceutical and water treatment plants. The biocide market can be segmented by type as metallic compounds, halogen-based derivatives, organic acids, organ sulphurs, and phenol-based compounds. Glutaraldehyde and sodium hydroxide are some other types of biocides. Biocide will finds its highest growth in the wastewater treatment sector (one-fourth of market revenue) followed by the food & beverages industry, the personal care segment and metalworking fluids.
Halogen compounds are the most common type of biocides used in large number of industries followed by organic acids. They account for nearly one-fourth of the total biocide market share. Various enduse industries such as water and wastewater treatment plants, paper and pulp industries, and cooling systems usehalogen-based biocides in their daily operations. Organic acid is the next type of biocide which accounts for thesecond largest share in thebiocidesmarket. It is prominently used in areas related to disinfectant water and wastewater treatment. Metallic compounds are largely used for disinfection of industrial wastewater systems.However, their market potential seems to be dipping primarily due to rising environmental concerns and human side effect risks. Greater concern over public health willdrive the demand for phenol-based biocides at a CAGR of 6.8% (2014-2020) in hospitals, railway stations, retail outlets and other public places.
