However, due to the prevalence of the pandemic, the health concerns owing to poor sanitation practices rose to prominence, and consumers became more aware of proper sanitation & hygiene practices. It led to behavioral change among individuals across the world, and they adopted practices such as surface cleaning, hand sanitizing, etc., which elevated the usage of QUATs containing disinfectants. The presence of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the surrounding is rising, and the fear of infections & outbreaks persists.

Moreover, as offices, theaters, restaurants, and other public places opened up & individuals started to gather, the need for cleaning the spaces at very frequent intervals grew further. Therefore, this is anticipated to generate more demand for the Quaternary Ammonium Compounds to produce disinfectants & sanitizers to clean the spaces and maintain hygienic practices in public during the forecast period. Additionally, they are also used in wastewater treatment methods as they disinfect the water & control algae, which, in turn, lifts its demand for cleaning swimming pools, hot tubs, and public fountains. Also, they prevent the accumulation of fungi & insects. Thus, they are widely used in the prevention of wooden and textile materials. As a result, the widespread use of these bioactive compounds as disinfectants in hospitals, schools, offices, and homes, among other places, is expected to boost the growth.

Global Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QUATs) Market Driver:

Growing Concern of Individuals Towards Sanitation & Hygiene – In recent years, the awareness among individuals towards sanitation and hygiene has increased considerably, and the pandemic played a triggering role in making people more concerned about hygiene and sanitation. As per the World Health Organization, in low and middle-income countries, nearly 8,29,000 individuals die each year due to poor hygiene practices. Further, worldwide, governments are also giving due attention to making these hygiene practices a part of daily life. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds are chemical compounds used mainly as a component for the production of disinfectants, sanitizers, preservatives, etc., and with the increased demand for sanitizers and disinfectants across the globe, the need for QUATs is also rising.
