The global animal disinfectants market is projected to grow from USD 3.9 billion in 2024 to USD 5.7 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. Animal disinfectants are widely used due to their versatility and broad applications, playing a crucial role in promoting the health and welfare of livestock. These products effectively eliminate harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that thrive in animal housing, equipment, and surrounding areas. Regular use of disinfectants reduces the risk of outbreaks and helps maintain a safe and hygienic environment for animals. They are commonly utilized in farms, veterinary clinics, and animal shelters where cleanliness is paramount. Selecting the appropriate disinfectant requires consideration of factors such as the type of pathogen, the surface to be treated, and the potential impact on humans and animals. Effective disinfection is a key element in biosecurity and hygiene practices to prevent and manage biohazards.
Animal Disinfectants Market Drivers: Increasing incidence of livestock diseases
The alarming increase in African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks in Europe underscores the severity of the situation. According to the 2022 ADIS report from the European Parliament, there were 537 outbreaks of ASF in domestic pigs across 12 European countries. Additionally, there were 7,442 outbreaks of ASF in wild boars reported in 15 European countries. The situation changed in 2023 with a rapid increase in the number of registered outbreaks. Between January 1, 2023, and July 22, 2023, ADIS recorded 902 outbreaks in domestic pigs across 16 European countries and 5,445 outbreaks in wild boar populations across 19 European countries. This steep increase reflects the rapidly accelerating danger from livestock diseases and has made the requirement for very strong disease prevention and control measures. The spread of ASF raises serious concerns about animal health, as well as its impact on the economy and food security in regions reliant on pig farming. This situation highlights the importance of biosecurity, disease surveillance, and proper disinfection practices in controlling such dreadful diseases.
Poultry Segment Anticipated to Lead Market Growth
The poultry segment is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period. Maintaining a disease-free environment is critical for success in poultry farming. According to a 2021 OECD report, global meat protein consumption is projected to increase by 14% by 2030, with poultry meat accounting for around 40% of total protein consumption. This rising demand for poultry meat is driving growth in poultry farming and creating a higher demand for poultry disinfectants to ensure safe and hygienic meat production. These disinfectants are typically applied after cleaning equipment to eliminate any remaining pathogens and come in various forms such as fumigation products, foam sprays, and liquid concentrates. Common disinfectant chemicals in poultry facilities include phenolic compounds, iodine, chlorine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, and oxidizing agents.
Viruses are a significant contributor to poultry disease transmission, with avian influenza being a notable concern. Terminal disinfection is a highly effective method for maintaining poultry health. For example, Neogen Corporation (US), through its Quat-Chem product line, offers virucidal disinfectants specifically designed to control infectious diseases in poultry. In Europe, Germany leads poultry exports, accounting for 24% of the region’s total exports, according to the USDA.

Powdered Disinfectants Gaining Momentum
Powdered animal disinfectants are forecasted to hold a significant market share due to their ease of use and convenience in storage and transport compared to liquid forms. These powders are particularly effective on surfaces, in hard-to-reach areas, and for controlling biofilms and preventing cross-contamination, all of which are vital for animal health. Unlike liquid disinfectants, powdered forms pose minimal risk of spills or leaks.
In March 2023, Neogen launched Viroxide Super, a powdered disinfectant that aligns with the rising demand for easy-to-use and effective powdered solutions. This peroxygen-based disinfectant is proven effective against numerous viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces, including Avian Influenza, Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), and African Swine Fever. The practical handling and application of powdered disinfectants contribute significantly to their market growth.
Asia Pacific Leads the Animal Disinfectants Market Share.
The Asia Pacific region holds the largest market share for animal disinfectants, driven by the increasing prevalence of African Swine Fever (ASF). Outbreaks in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and India have resulted in the culling of thousands of animals—over 10,300 pigs in Mizoram and 310 pigs in Kerala between February and July 2024. This escalating crisis underscores the urgent need for effective disease control measures, fueling demand for disinfectants and biosecurity products in the region.
Governments and farms in the Asia Pacific are intensifying efforts to prevent and control ASF, which is bolstering the growth of the animal disinfectants market. Disinfectants play a critical role in managing outbreaks, ensuring biosecurity, and protecting livestock from diseases, placing the market on a strong growth trajectory amid the ASF crisis.
