Report Code : 10222 | Publish Date : Upcoming | Industry : Machinery & Equipment | Geography : Global


Metal biocides inhibit microbial activities and their effectiveness varies with duration and concentration of exposure. It is produced in powder and liquid form and finds application in various end use including food & beverage, wood preservation, agriculture, paints & coating, medical and textile application.  Application potential in antimicrobial treated textiles mainly in healthcare application to inhibit spread of infections and diseases will have positive impact on industry growth. Moreover, growing research has led to development of more environment friendly products which will further escalate market growth. 

Metal Biocides Market Outlook 

Growth in modern construction has led to increase in use of wood and related products in construction and renovation activities which is likely to boost demand for treated wood products to reduce microbial contamination, thus driving demand for metallic biocides.  Supporting regulatory norms regrading   biocides use for ground contact treated woods which require high performance of preservation will further drive product demand. Increase in concerns over paint and coatings quality deterioration due to microbial activities has led to growing demand for biocides, mainly in marine environment where which are highly susceptible to microbial contamination will escalate industry growth.
