Abstract
The global trend to raise awareness of hygiene and prevent the spread of infections is increasing the demand for antiseptics. In 2019, the European antiseptic market was estimated at 2.33 billion dollars. and by 2024 will reach 3.2 billion and the North American market of antiseptics amounted to 1.6 billion dollars. and by 2024 will reach 2.17 billion dollars. In 2019, the market for antiseptics in Ukraine was approximately 4,000 tons. Development of the domestic market of antiseptics, which consists of two stages – until early 2020, when demand was stable (limited by the B2B market and small antiseptics for personal use) and after early 2020 – a sharp increase in the market due to the emergence of coronavirus. Against the background of the coronavirus and quarantine pandemic in Ukraine there was a sharp jump in demand for antiseptics and their shortage, which was caused by two main factors: the bureaucratic barrier and shortage of raw materials (annual decline in ethyl alcohol production (the main component of antiseptics) ranged from 6 to 15 %%). Analysis of the data of the Compendium on 01.09.2020 allowed to analyze the registered 52 trade names of antiseptics and disinfectants. The domestic market is satisfied with the products of local pharmaceutical plants (Antiseptol H (Antiseptol H) 100 ml, LLC «FP Zdorovya»; Ethyl alcohol 96% 100 ml (Ethyl alcohol 96%), LLC «FP Zdorovya»). A study of the price range for antiseptics of the group «D08 – antiseptics and disinfectants» found that traditionally the prices of domestic manufacturers are much lower than foreign – prices ranged from 03-45 UAH. up to UAH 789-12. and for foreign – from 10-25 UAH. up to 1100-35 hryvnias. It was found that at the time of analysis from the subgroup «D08A X08 Ethanol» 38 (73%) of registered antiseptics are in circulation in the pharmaceutical market of the country, and 14 (27%) are absent. As a result of the legal regulation of antiseptics on businesses that are also producers of alcohol, now it has the right to produce and sell antiseptics under license for the production and wholesale of alcohol. The development of antiseptic production was considered on the example of the domestic manufacturer LLC «Biofuel and Energy Company», which during the crisis established the production and wholesale of «Hygienic detergent BIOSEPT». The problem of development of antiseptic production in Ukraine is relevant today in connection with the spread of COVID-19 in the world, the prevention of which is aimed at compliance with sanitary requirements with the use of antiseptics and disinfectants
