Improvements in spraying technology along with its effectiveness in disinfecting large areas compared to manual methods are contributing to the increased demand and higher valuation of this market.

The market is witnessing positive growth trends driven by rising awareness about the importance of disinfection and sanitization. Factors such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and focus on hygiene are accelerating demand from hospitals and healthcare facilities. Additionally, increasing applications in other sectors such as hospitality, corporate offices, transportation, and manufacturing are expected to provide new opportunities over the forecast period. However, the availability of alternative disinfection equipment and high costs associated with electrostatic sprayers may challenge market growth to some extent in the coming years.

Growth in Healthcare and Hospitality Industries

Increasing concerns over hygiene and infection in hospitals, healthcare facilities, hotels, and other commercial spaces are majorly driving the demand for electrostatic disinfectant sprayers. The COVID-19 pandemic has made organizations across industries realize the importance of proper and regular disinfection of surfaces to contain the spread of such viruses.

Healthcare facilities are today utilizing electrostatic sprayers on a large scale to disinfect patient rooms, operating theatres, clinics, and other high traffic areas. As per the data by the World Health Organization, in 2021, nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections affected over 1.27 million people just in the U.S. The figure is expected to rise further with growing healthcare needs of aging populations worldwide. This has encouraged healthcare administrators to invest more in advanced disinfection equipment and technologies like electrostatic sprayers which can cover large areas quickly and effectively.

The hospitality industry too is placing significant emphasis on cleaning and disinfection practices post COVID-19. Hotels, restaurants, pubs, and other players are actively opting for electrostatic sprayers and associated training to ensure thorough disinfection of all work and guest areas. As stated by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation in September 2022, the hotel industry's occupancy rates have recovered to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 with over 750 million international tourist arrivals. This recovery has further propelled the uptake of electrostatic sprayers by hotels and resort chains to provide hygienic experience and reassure guest safety.

The rising health awareness and focus on preventing infections has created new growth avenues for electrostatic disinfectant sprayer manufacturers. The demand from healthcare as well as hospitality segments is likely to stay robust over the coming years, fueling the continuous expansion of this particular market.

Rising awareness regarding hygiene and sanitization is significantly driving the growth of the electrostatic disinfectant sprayer market. With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, people worldwide have become much more cognizant about cleaning and disinfecting various surfaces to curb the spread of viruses and infections. Electrostatic disinfectant sprayers have proved to be a very effective tool in this regard as they can uniformly coat even hard to reach areas with disinfecting solution using electrostatic charging technology.

The efficacy of electrostatic sprayers was recognized early on during the pandemic as various hospitals, healthcare facilities, airports, malls and public transports started deploying these devices to sanitize their premises. According to data published by the WHO in 2021, electrostatic sprayer disinfection was found to reduce microbial counts on treated surfaces by over 97% within 30 seconds thus establishing it as a 'gold standard' for deep surface cleaning. Their use is further recommended by CDC for quick and comprehensive disinfection of large areas.

As the risks of virus transmission through contaminated surfaces is better understood now, people are taking utmost precautions to sanitize their homes, offices and other public/shared spaces regularly. This has resulted in a tremendous surge in demand for both commercial as well as consumer varieties of electrostatic disinfectant sprayers. Various state governments and local authorities have also instructed commercial facilities to invest in such equipment. For example, in 2021, the Department of Public Health of California published guidelines mandating fitness centers, hotels, schools, and restaurants to acquire electrostatic sprayers or equivalent mechanism for regular sanitization.

In view of these current trends and preventive measures becoming a new way of life going forward too, the electrostatic disinfectant sprayer market is estimated to grow at a noteworthy pace over the coming years. Both increased awareness amongst general population as well as regulatory norms being put in place by government organizations are expected to drive sustained demand ahead. The factors ensuring their popularity are ease of use, coverage effectiveness, and accessibility of these devices.
