Report Description

The Global Antimicrobial Plastic Market is anticipated to expand significantly through 2028 due to the growing demand from the healthcare sector. In 2020, India's healthcare sector was worth about USD 280 billion.

Antimicrobial Plastic is widely used as a replacement of conventional material in the production of medical equipment such as anesthesia machine and ventilators due to their properties. Moreover, rising utilization of antimicrobial plastic in the automotive and construction sector has led to the growth of global antimicrobial plastic market in the projected period.

Growing Adoption in the Healthcare Sector

Antimicrobial plastics are mostly used in the healthcare sector, as antimicrobial plastic provides a number of benefits over traditional materials, including sterility, cleanliness, simplicity of use, convenience, and cheap cost. The demand for prevention of microbial infections is being driven by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), complex epidemiological scenario, nosocomial infections, microbial contamination, and infection hazards in hospitals and dental equipment. Numerous prospects for the development of antimicrobial treatments were presented by the requirement for recycling disposable medical equipment. Antimicrobial plastics are generally utilized for items like cubicle curtains, nurse call systems, beds, handrails, doorknobs, flooring, pull cords, and case note holders in nursing home, and hospitals.

For instance, in 2022, University of California Los Angeles researchers created a zwitterion polymer coating for in-dwelling medical devices, such as urinary catheters, that prevents microbes from adhering and creating troublesome biofilms.

Therefore, increase in healthcare facilities and advancement in technology are anticipated to boost he market growth in the upcoming years.

Rising Demand from End Use Industries

Antimicrobial plastic is used as packaging material in the food and beverage industry as it doesn't include preservatives, requires no processing, and inhibits the growth of microorganisms, hence prolongs the shelf life of perishable goods. In recent years, there has been a rise in the usage of antimicrobial plastic packaging due to rising consumer health awareness and the desire for products with longer shelf lives.

In addition, the demand for antimicrobial plastic is increasing from the textile sector. Antimicrobial plastic is very helpful as it prevents the generation of odor causing bacteria in the textile. Along with this, antimicrobial plastic is used in construction sector as these plastics provide protection from fungus, bacteria to roof and walls.

For Instance, in 2020, Symphony Environmental Technologies got the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for antimicrobial food packaging.

In 2019, Microban International partnered with Panaria Group to introduce antimicrobial protection in their products.

Thus, increasing demand from various end use industries will lead to the growth of market in the forecast period.

Commodity Plastics will be the Key Type

Commodity Plastic is used in various applications including packaging, food and beverage, consumer products, and medicine. Product growth in these end-use sectors is largely fueled by rising personal hygiene awareness among consumers and shifting lifestyle trends. Due to their high impact strength, chemical resistance, improved biocompatibility, moisture resistance, and broad variety of applications in many end-use sectors, polypropylene and polyethylene antimicrobial plastics are primarily driving the need for commodity plastic.

For instance, in 2022, Polygiene acquired SteriTouch to expand the company’s antimicrobial additives offerings for plastics, coatings and paints.

In addition, engineering plastic has better mechanical properties and dimensions therefore is used in transportation, construction, and electrical industrial machinery.

Therefore, aforementioned factors are likely to boost market growth over the projected period.

Recent Developments

  • In May 2022, Sanitized AG, launched new product OX20 which does not contain any biocides and is used on cotton, viscose, or synthetic fibers.
  • Sanitized Puretec, a textile antimicrobial solution was introduced by Sanitized AG in November 2021, which is metal-free, non-leaching, and particle-free to prevent the growth of bacteria.
  • In March 2021, Saniconcentrate, a new additive, was introduced by Parx Materials. This additive creates antimicrobial polymers that can halt the spread of dangerous germs and viruses.
  • A new patented range of antimicrobial blocking polymer fusion solutions was introduced by Polyfuze Graphics Corp in April 2020.
