At present, the public's demand for sterilization and disinfection products continues to grow, and disinfectants have become one of the hot spots of seasonal consumption.
On January 9, the relevant person in charge of Meifotte revealed to the "Securities Daily" reporter that since December 2022, the sales of the company's Mifotte disinfection products have increased by more than 8 times month-on-month compared with November, and its various quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant products have been sold out of stock. At present, in the Meifotte disinfection preparation factory located in Jinshan District, Shanghai, workers have started the production mode of overtime. Several production lines in the workshop have been fully produced, and the supply chain system has been mobilized in many ways to ensure the timely supply of disinfection supplies.
It is reported that the rapid growth in demand for disinfection products, on the one hand, due to many consumers in order to reduce the risk of infection of novel coronavirus and influenza virus, the frequency of disinfection in homes and public places has increased, resulting in a substantial increase in the use of disinfection products; at the same time, a large number of "Yangkang" personnel After the symptoms disappear, they will also choose to do a terminal disinfection of their homes, offices and other places to prevent the hidden danger of novel coronavirus surviving and spreading in the indoor environment.
At the same time, with the improvement of public health protection awareness, the protection demand for families and themselves is higher, and consumers have more demand for disinfection products that are convenient to use and friendly to the human body, which makes quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants as the representative. New disinfection products are increasingly favored by consumers.
According to reports, at present, the common disinfectants on the market include 75% alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectants, quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants, etc. According to the "novel coronavirus pneumonia prevention and control plan" (ninth edition), the above various disinfectants can be used for the surface disinfection of objects in COVID-19 focus areas, but the disinfectants of different components are slightly different in the specific use method.
Compared with 75% alcohol and chlorine-containing disinfectants, quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants (containing benzalkonium chloride) have the characteristics of non-irritation to skin and mucous membranes, and the bacterial disinfection and sterilization effect is also very good. It can also be used for hand, skin (including small wounds) and mucous membrane disinfection, infants, young children and pregnant women. In hospitals, quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants are used for skin and mucosal disinfection, surgical hand washing and medical apparatus disinfection. However, the high production cost of quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants makes it unadvantageous in price competition.
At present, the market acceptance of quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants is gradually increasing due to their mild sterilization characteristics. The relevant person in charge of Meifotte said: Recently, during the Spring Festival travel, the quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant it produces - Mifu Foam Skin Antibacterial Liquid can be carried with you when you take the high-speed rail on the plane, and can provide consumers with safe and reliable personal protection during the journey, which forms a differentiated competition with other disinfectant products.
