COVID-19 has not only caused a rapid increase in demand for disinfection products in the hospital and healthcare industry, but also brought attention to germicidal disinfection, leading to a sharp increase in the overall demand for germicides and disinfectants. In terms of long-term impact, the outbreak could quickly raise awareness of protection in the healthcare system and urban emergency management system, as well as raise awareness of disinfection and sterilization product consumption among residents, which could lead to industry development. In addition, the outbreak of the epidemic has stimulated market dynamics as a large number of new companies enter the market and gain opportunities to grow in a market where supply exceeds demand. To create a competitive advantage, companies in the industry constantly updated their products and broadened their product application areas. They started to venture into high-end disinfection care, food disinfection and other product areas, driving  the development of the industry.

Intelligence is the most important development trend of the industry in the future. Companies in the industry will hire more high-tech, multi-skilled and complex talents to reduce their reliance on labor and better cope with labor fluctuations. Although epidemic prevention and control prevented the movement of personnel and led to labor shortages, it also pushed the germicide and disinfectant industry to automate and flexibly produce, which is more conducive to the long-term development of the antiseptic and disinfectant industry.
