The swift expansion of the food processing sector in India is a vital factor impelling the growth of the market. As the population grows and urbanization advances, the need for packaged and processed foods is on a rise.

Disinfectants are essential for upholding product integrity by removing pathogens and stopping cross-contamination. From managing raw materials to processing, packaging, and storage, upholding strict hygiene standards is crucial to prevent foodborne diseases and product recalls. Furthermore, with the rise of international food trade, Indian food processors are progressively complying with international safety standards, which is fueling the need for efficient disinfectant solutions.
