The Benzalkonium Shortage in Canada
 

Currently, Canada is facing a growing shortage of benzalkonium. This situation is caused by several factors, including:

  1. Increased Demand: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented demand for disinfectants and hygiene products, putting pressure on supply chains.
  2. Supply Chain Disruptions: Transportation restrictions, factory closures, and logistical difficulties have contributed to a reduction in the availability of raw materials, including benzalkonium.
  3. Rising Prices: Due to the shortage, prices for benzalkonium have significantly increased. This impacts consumers and businesses that rely on these products to maintain safe and healthy environments.
