Alcohol-Based Disinfectant Market Outlook - 2027

Alcohol-based disinfectant is a concentrated solution of alcohol (majorly isopropyl alcohol), which is used for sanitation purposes. Alcohol-based disinfectants are solutions of 60–90% alcohol and 10–30% purified water. Ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and n-propanol are the major types of alcohols used for the preparation of alcohol-based disinfectants. Alcohol inhibits the growth of microorganisms by denaturing the protein molecules and by direct effect on the RNA of the cells, thereby interfering with the metabolism of the cell. Alcohol serves as an effective disinfectant, owing to the fact that it evaporates rapidly without leaving any residue. In addition, alcohols are capable of dissolving liquids, which makes them effective against liquid-wrapped viral cells. Moreover, they are inexpensive and easy to handle.
