Healthcare Sector Boosts Demand for Surface Disinfectants, Says FMI

The global surface disinfectant market is experiencing a huge surge in demand due to outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. Rising number of patients getting hospitalized in emergency clinics and diagnostic centers has been fuelling the demand for surface disinfectants.

The surface disinfectant market is expected to follow a positive growth trajectory for the forecast period of 2021-2031.
