Antimicrobial Textiles Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global antimicrobial textiles market size reached US$ 10.5 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 15.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% during 2023-2028.

Antimicrobial textiles are functionally active textiles that destroy microorganisms or inhibit their growth. They are made by treating textile substrates with antimicrobial agents or using textile fiber with inherent antimicrobial efficiency. They are durable, environment friendly, and less prone to discoloration. Besides this, their antimicrobial properties assist in improving the performance and increasing the lifespan of different products. As a result, antimicrobial textiles find extensive applications in automotive textiles, air filters, food packaging, and water purification systems.

Antimicrobial Textiles Market Trends:
At present, there is a significant increase in the manufacturing of metal nanoparticles-based antiviral textiles, including face masks, gloves, and protective suits and shoes, on account of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This, in confluence with the rising awareness among individuals about personal hygiene and the health risks associated with microorganisms, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Antimicrobial textiles are increasingly employed in the healthcare industry for hospital gowns, patient clothes, curtains, bed covers, bandages, earbuds, scrubs, masks, lab coats, and protective kits. Besides this, they are used by sewage treatment plant workers and individuals involved in sanitary-related work wherein there is a high risk of getting infected. Additionally, antimicrobial textiles are utilized in common public areas, including hotels, restaurants, or trains. Apart from this, there is currently an increase in the demand for antimicrobial sportswear as they help prevent microbial growth and sweating odor. This, coupled with the growing popularity of antimicrobial winter wear, is augmenting the overall sales and profitability of market players. Furthermore, surface modification of these textiles, including electrospinning, nanotechnologies, plasma treatment, polymerization, microencapsulation, and sol-gel techniques to enhance their properties, is projected to fuel the market growth.
