Global Antimicrobial Textile Market Dynamics
Antimicrobial Textile Market Driver
- Increasing Usage of Antimicrobial Materials in Medical Fabrics
Antimicrobial substances are used to either eradicate or stop the spread of microorganisms. Fabrics having antimicrobial chemicals added to the surface or inside the fibers are said to have antimicrobial fibers. Antimicrobial substances are combined with dyes or pigments, added to the fiber during spinning or extrusion, or applied as a finishing step.
- Rising Hygienic Consciousness Among Consumers in Emerging Economies
Consumers are becoming more aware of the possible risks posed by microbes on textiles and by those who use them thanks to increased literacy rates and well-disseminated awareness efforts. The rising disposable income, changing lifestyles with rising health concerns, growing pollution, and enhanced hygiene awareness are all contributing to the increase in demand for antimicrobial textiles. Antimicrobial fabrics act as a barrier against the germs that cause HAI, odor production, and skin infections. As a result, there is a good chance that the use of antimicrobial textiles in apparel, sportswear, footwear, protective wear applications, and the healthcare sector will increase dramatically. The need for antimicrobial fabrics is anticipated to increase as a result.
Antimicrobial Textile Market Restraint
- Active Agents' Ineffectiveness
The type of active agents employed and the method by which active agents are applied to textiles both affect how effective antimicrobial textiles are. Although QAC, copper, and silver are potent active agents, they have a propensity to leak out of fabrics. Some active ingredients, like chitosan, are weak and disappear from fabrics after two to three washings. Through the ionizing process, metal and metallic salts are absorbed into the fabrics and last longer than chemically induced antibacterial characteristics. The procedure compensates for a 20–30% increase in textile manufacturing costs. All of these elements limit market expansion.
- Volatile Raw Material Prices
Prices for the energy and raw ingredients used to make antimicrobial fabrics change frequently. These commodities' prices directly affect the value chain components, which include operations and procurement costs. Sudden price rises or drops also have an impact on the profit margins of businesses. The final cost of antimicrobial fabrics is significantly influenced by the cost and accessibility of raw materials.
