Global Glutaraldehyde Pharm Grade Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Product (Glutaraldehyde 25%, Glutaraldehyde 50%), By Application (Health Care, Cleaning Agent, Water Treatment, Cosmetics, Others), Forecast Period (2022-2028)

The global glutaraldehyde pharm grade market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period (2022-2028).  Glutaraldehyde is an organic molecule that preserves and sterilises. This aldehyde is a white oily liquid with a strong odour that is available as an aqueous solution. The chemical is a potent steriliser, as well as a toxin and an irritant. It is a biodegradable, formaldehyde-free, non-carcinogenic, non-bio-accumulative, and non-persistent substance. It is commonly employed in high-level disinfection and water treatment due to these qualities. Furthermore, glutaraldehyde at a concentration of 0.1 to 1% is utilised as a preservative and biocide.

The healthcare business has a high demand for glutaraldehyde, as its cold disinfection qualities are projected to be a major driving force in the market. Petroleum, paper and pulp, and animal health industries have all provided potential for the worldwide glutaraldehyde industry. The majority of medically invasive procedures necessitate equipment sterilisation to minimise infection from contaminated equipment. As a result, glutaraldehyde solution is widely utilised in the healthcare industry to cold sterilise equipment prior to surgery. Some of the sterilising products for medical equipment that use glutaraldehyde as an active ingredient are Hospex, Glutarex, Cidex, Aldesen, and Soniacide. Glutaraldehyde is also employed as a tissue fixative agent.

Owing to the growing demand for disinfectants in the industry for sanitising and sterilisation purposes, health care is expected to be the leading application area of the glutaraldehyde pharm grade market. Individuals’ changing lifestyles have resulted in greater expenditure on personal care and hygiene, which has impacted the segment’s growth in recent years. Additionally, the increased application of glutaraldehyde in other industry is propelling the growth of the glutaraldehyde pharm grade market. Concerns about water scarcity and contaminants in supply water have spurred demand for commercial and industrial water treatment systems that use glutaraldehyde solutions as a microbicide in the wastewater treatment industry.

In evaporative recirculating cooling towers and big air-conditioning systems, about 45 percent to 50 percent of the glutaraldehyde solution is employed as a microbicide, whereas less than 10% of aqueous glutaraldehyde is used in the water treatment application. In the leather tanning process, around 25%–50% glutaraldehyde solutions are used to strengthen the resilience of leathers to water, alkalis, and mould, as well as soften them. It’s also utilised in off-shore applications, where it’s added to sea water to avoid corrosion caused by certain sulfate-reducing microbes.
