A recent report published by
Infinium Global Research on antibacterial materials for textiles market
provides in-depth analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well
as regional antibacterial materials for textiles market. The study also
highlights the impact of drivers, restraints, and macro indicators on the
global and regional antibacterial materials for textiles market over the short
term as well as long term. The report is a comprehensive presentation of
trends, forecasts and dollar values of global antibacterial materials for
textiles market. According to the report, the global antibacterial materials
for textiles market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.85% over the forecast
period of 2020-2026.
Textiles, with huge surface areas,
for example, carpets, apparels, etc., under certain temperature and moisture
conditions become susceptible to microorganism growth. These microorganisms are
not only injurious to human beings, causing numerous infections and diseases;
but also lead to unwanted effects on textiles such as discoloration, odor, and
condensed strength of the material. Antibacterial chemicals help to control the
growth of microorganisms in textiles and also maintain their physical strength.
Antibacterial textiles are fiber-based substrates which have been applied with
antibacterial agents at the surface or combined into the fibers that allow a
product to kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The increasing demand for
antibacterial textile materials from the health sector is majorly driving the
market. The hygiene of surfaces and textiles in healthcare facilities is
crucial for maintaining patient, staff, and visitor safety. It also contributes
to the reduction of the transmission of healthcare-associated infections
(HAIs). Moreover, the growing adoption of antibacterial textile in sportswear
and apparel is augmenting the market growth. Apart from the healthcare sector,
antibacterial textiles are used in sports textiles, and in undergarments, in
order to prevent malodors. Antibacterial in textiles is believed to inhibit the
growth or kill these microorganisms so that the formation of malodors is
suppressed. However, the negative impact of antibacterial materials on the
environment is majorly hampering market growth. A large amount of wastes and
emissions from antibacterial textiles harms the environment and the people
within it. On the other hand, several market players and researchers are
engaged in developing environmentally friendly antibacterial agents. The
development of antibacterial materials made of environmentally friendly
antibacterial compounds is expected to boost the market further and provide growth
opportunities for the market players.
Among the geographies, the Asia
Pacific region is expected to hold the largest share in the global antibacterial
materials for textiles market due to high adoption in countries such as China
and India are China holds the largest share of the market, whereas India is the
fastest-growing market in the Asia Pacific region. Furthermore, increasing per
capita income, rising population, and augmented awareness regarding health and
hygiene will lead to antibacterial materials for the textiles market. However,
the North American region is the second-largest market for antibacterial
materials for textiles market as countries such as the U.S. and Canada are the
front-runners of the adoption of new technology. Further, factors such as
growing consumer awareness regarding the spread of the disease have led to a
demand for better quality material with regard to the maintenance of health and
hygiene will drive the antibacterial material for the textile market in the
region.
