Biocides & Fungicides Update

摘要

Biocides are protective substances used to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other pernicious organisms, including fungi. Biocides come in a variety of forms, such as halogen or metallic compounds, organic acids and organosulfurs. Each plays an integral role in the paint and coatings, water treatment, wood preservation, and food and beverage industries. A report published earlier this year by Global Marker Insights - titled Biocides Market Size By Application (Food & beverage. Water treatment, Wood Preservation, Paints & Coatings, Personal care, Boilers, HVAC, Fuels, Oil & Gas), By Product (Metallic Compounds, Halogen Compounds, Organic acids, Organosulfurs, Nitrogen, Phenolic), Industry Analysis Reporr, Regional Outlook, Application Potential, Price Trends, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2015 - 2022 - found that growth in water and waste water treatment applications from industrial and residential sectors is likely to drive biocides market size growth through 2022. The biocides market as a whole is expected to be valued at over $12 billion USD by then, with estimated gains at more than 5.1 percent, according to researchers at Global Market Insights.
