Antimicrobial Additives Market by Type (Inorganic, Organic), Application (Fabric, Paints & Coatings, Plastic), End-User - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Antimicrobial Additives Market size was estimated at USD 5.65 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 6.01 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.11% to reach USD 9.14 billion by 2030.

Antimicrobial additives are substances added to materials or products to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, and protect against microbial contamination by preventing the spread of germs, mold, and mildew growth. Antimicrobial additives have become increasingly popular due to their ability to lower the risk of infection and improve product performance. Rising food industry standards and regulations have played a role, as antimicrobial additives are used to regulate the growth of microorganisms, improve storage times, and prevent food spoilage. Elevated consumer awareness and demand for products with enhanced safety and hygiene characteristics drive the demand for antimicrobial additives. However, fluctuating raw material prices significantly impede the utilization of antimicrobial additives. In addition, the emergence of organic and advanced antimicrobial additives and nanomaterials-based antimicrobial additives in the paints & coatings sector is expected to create tremendous opportunities for market development.
