Povidone Iodine Market Analysis – By Form

Solution held the largest share with 22% in the Povidone Iodine Market in 2021. Povidone iodine solution works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes and is effective against bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Povidone iodine solution is used in treating skin infections in minor burns, lacerations, cuts, and abrasions. It also helps in treating infections of the lining of the mouth and throat, such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers, infection control during insertion and care of urinary catheters and circumcision and is essential in preventing sepsis in suture removal and dressing changes. Most importantly, povidone iodine solution is widely used in the pre- and post-surgery treatment as it is essential in preventing infection. Due to its wide variety of applicability, povidone iodine solution is widely preferred over other forms of povidone iodine in the Povidone Iodine Market.

Povidone Iodine Market Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The health care & pharmaceutical sector held the largest share with 29% in the Povidone Iodine Market in 2021. Povidone iodine is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic mainly for its germicidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, and general disinfecting properties. As such, it is used in the treatment of contaminated wounds and pre-operative preparation of the skin and mucous membranes as well as for the disinfection of medical equipment. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the global spending on health care is projected to grow to an estimate of US$ 9.7-10.1 trillion by 2030. As povidone iodine is essential in the health care sector, the increasing demand for health care and pharmaceuticals will also propel the Povidone Iodine Market.

Povidone Iodine Market Analysis – By Geography

The North American region held the largest share with 38% in the Povidone Iodine Market in 2021. Povidone iodine is an essential disinfectant that is primarily used in the health care industry. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States accounted for almost one-third of the global spending on the health care sector in 2019, which was valued at US$ 3.6 trillion. This also accounted for 16.8% of the country’s GDP, which is the highest percentage share of GDP spent on health care & pharmaceuticals amongst all the countries worldwide. Furthermore, an inclining demand for the agrochemical sector is also driving the demand for the Povidone Iodine Market as povidone iodine is used as a biocide in fertilizers and pesticides. Thus, increasing demand for the health care and pharmaceutical, and agrochemical sector is propelling the demand for povidone iodine in North America.

Povidone Iodine Market Drivers

Increasing demand for povidone iodine in pet care:

Povidone iodine is one of the most potent antiseptic agents and, as such, it is widely used for skin disinfection for pets and animals as well. Pets are more prone to injury than humans as they tend to be more hyperactive in nature. Povidone iodine is most commonly used in the form of sprays and scrubs as it is easier to apply on pets as well. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the global pet industry sales was valued at US$ 100 billion in 2020 which was especially influenced by the pandemic, as many households decided to adopt more pets during this time. The increase in investment in the pet care industry proves to be an excellent driver for the Povidone Iodine Market.

The importance of Povidone Iodine in Aquaculture:

In aquaculture, the controlled cultivation of fish, crustaceans, eels, algae and other aquatic plants and animals, infections by protozoa, fungi, bacteria and so on, are a common occurrence, especially in more humid climates. As such, disinfection is very important in aquaculture. Povidone iodine proves to be an excellent disinfectant in aquaculture as it is non-toxic in lower doses and is very useful for the aquatic environment. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the world aquaculture production was valued at 114.5 million tons in 2018, which was a 3.2% growth from 2017. As such the growing aquaculture market is also propelling the growth of the Povidone Iodine Market.

Povidone Iodine Market Challenges

Alternatives to Povidone Iodine:

Povidone iodine is one of the most efficient antiseptic agents and an excellent disinfectant, people with allergic reactions to iodine cannot use it and it can also cause side effects such as irritation of skin, redness of skin, swelling, itching, burning, and so on. As such, other antiseptic agents, and disinfectants, such as, aqueous chlorohexidine, prove be an excellent substitute for povidone iodine. For instance, aqueous chlorohexidine is often used as an antiseptic agent for intravitreal injection prophylaxis in patients that have allergic reactions to iodine and is an excellent choice for ocular surgeries. As such, the presence of alternatives to povidone iodine can prove to be a hindrance for the growth of the Povidone Iodine Market.
