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.

The backpack segment is estimated to contribute the highest share of 41.2% in 2024 in the market owning to its convenience and portability. Backpacks offer hands-free operation which allows disinfecting large areas efficiently. The sprayers can be easily transported from one room to another or one floor to another. This proves especially useful for facilities with multiple floors like hospitals, hotels, schools, etc. where cleaners have to sanitize numerous rooms quickly. Backpacks are ergonomically designed to distribute weight evenly on user's back and shoulders to prevent back strain. Sprayers in backpacks can hold larger tanks, allowing continuous disinfecting for extended periods before refill is needed. This boosts productivity. Some advanced models come with additional features like long hose nozzles, large tanks and liquid level indicators for convenient usage. Their portable design makes backpacks suitable for various indoor as well as outdoor applications.

Insights, by Power Source - Reliability Boosts the Corded Segment Share

The corded segment is estimated to contribute the highest share of 64.4% in 2024 in the market owing to their reliability. Corded electrostatic sprayers are powered through electricity mains ensuring consistent performance throughout the disinfecting process.
