Market Trends of Metal Biocide Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Metal Biocide Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand for Metal Biocide from Paints and Coatings
- Metal biocide is a substance intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, and suppress harmful organisms that can cause damage to natural or manufactured materials.
- Additionally, metal miocides are used in formulations to keep bacteria from spoiling paint during storage, or to keep fungi, algae, and other micro-organisms from growing on the applied paint.
- Biocide is effective to inhibit the growth of algae and fungi in household paint, varnishes, marine antifouling paint, and industrial paint.
- The market for paints and coatings is expected to grow significantly, due to rapidly increasing housing construction activities and modern advances in paint technology.
- Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the application of metal biocide from paints and coatings is likely to dominate during the forecast period.
