All enzyme types belong to the class of compounds known as proteins. Proteins and enzymes are complex molecules composed of amino acids bound together by peptide bonds.

Medical Device Disinfectants - A general-purpose disinfectant is a germicide that is intended to treat non-critical surfaces of medical devices and equipment. A general-purpose disinfectant can be used before terminal sterilization or high-level disinfection to pre-clean or decontaminate essential or semi critical medical devices.

Surface Disinfectants - Surface disinfectants are chemical products often use for killing germs on surfaces. It is known as a method to inactivate pathogens on inanimate surfaces.

Based on applications, the global antiseptics and disinfectants market is classified into enzymatic cleaners, medical device disinfectants, surface disinfectants, and others. The medical device disinfectants segment is projected to constitute almost half of the of the market in 2027, as antiseptics & disinfectants help to maintain hygiene while using medical devices.

The enzymatic cleaners segment is expected to gain XX BPS points during forecast period 2020-2027 respectively. The medical device disinfectants segment is expected to lose XX BPS points during forecast period respectively. The medical device disinfectants hold the major share due to its aggressive use in the healthcare industry to check pandemic infection in different regions.
