In late 2019, COVID-19 came as a bolt from the blue and begun to spread across globally. Due to an increase in business opportunities in this field, many people have started to invest in businesses that produce and market biocidal products. For the old players that are familiar with the business, they may face some challenges such as:

  1. New regulations in the Biocidal Product Regulations and Medical Device Regulation
  2. Higher cost of performing efficacy tests to improve product competitiveness
  3. Increase in shipment cost
  4. A more competitive market

As for the new players who have just started their journey in this field, they are facing more challenges that includes:

  1. Familiarizing themselves with the essential tests that are required by regulatory authorities
  2. Cost of performing efficacy tests and other analytical tests
  3. Unsure about stability data requirements
  4. Unsure about product registration pathways
  5. Finding a suitable and reliable partner to OEM their products

New players may also depend on the advice of external laboratories or consultants to select the efficacy tests that are suitable for their products. If an external laboratory or consultant provides incorrect information, the manufacturers may end up spending more money and time. This happens more often that you think.

Unfortunately, there are many new players that are unaware of the efficacy and/or analysis tests required for their newly developed disinfectant and may sell them without fulfilling the requirements. Did you know that Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has withdrawn many products due to safety issues as well? Have a quick read here to know more about this. Cases as such will eventually cause a huge loss to the product owner.
