According to FutureWise analysis the market for Antimicrobial Medical Textiles in 2023 is US$ 8.46 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 13.51 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 6.00%.
Antimicrobial medical textiles are functionally active textiles that may kill microorganisms or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. These are fiber-based substrates to which antimicrobial agents are applied, including metallic and non-metallic salts such as Zinc, Silver, Copper, Chitosan, etc. These agents are applied at the surface or into the fibers by spraying, chemical reaction, etc. The textiles can be made of polyester, polyamide, cotton, polyester-vinyl composites, vinyl, and acrylics. The cotton fabric is projected to be the largest one in antimicrobial clothing. These textiles are used in various applications ranging from households to commercial, including air filters, healthcare, food packaging, upholstery, hygiene, sportswear, storage, ventilation, and water purification systems.
The finishing process in the textile manufacturing industry gives unique, enhanced antimicrobial characteristics to the fabric, which can be biocidal (i.e., include agents that destroy microorganisms) or biostatic (i.e., inhibit the’ growth of microorganisms). Various antimicrobial textile materials are developed using various active agents, including synthetic antimicrobial agents such as triclosan, metal and their salts, synthetic organic compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), and organometallics. When evaluating antimicrobial-treated textiles, the principle of antimicrobial agent fixation to the fabric is important since it is closely associated with the mechanism of antimicrobial activity.
