What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Biobased Disinfectant Market?
The anticipated growth of the biobased disinfectant market is largely driven by the increasing consciousness about environmental sustainability. This pertains to the thoughtful utilization and protection of natural resources to ensure the environment's well-being and equilibrium for the present and subsequent generations. Widespread global apprehension regarding climate change, resource exhaustion, and the enduring health of ecosystems is fuelling the demand for environmental sustainability. Biobased disinfectants contribute to this cause by lessening reliance on synthetic chemicals made from non-renewable resources, reducing environmental harm, and promoting the use of organic components. An illustration of this emerged in April 2024, in data provided by the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business, a US-based academic and research entity. They reported that the percentage of sustainably-marketed goods had increased from 17.3% in 2022 to 18.5% in 2023. Consequently, the burgeoned consciousness about environmental sustainability is steering the advancement of the biobased disinfectant market.
