Global Textile Antimicrobial Additive Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

Textile antibacterial additives refer to the antibacterial protection of textiles. With the rapid development of industry and the improvement of people's living standards, people are increasingly aware of environmental sanitation and self-care. In life, people will inevitably come into contact with a variety of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. Under suitable external conditions (such as temperature, humidity), these microorganisms will multiply rapidly and spread diseases through contact, affecting people's health. and normal work, study and life. Various types of textiles are often good habitats for these microorganisms and become an important source of disease transmission. When pathogenic bacteria multiply on textiles, they not only produce unpleasant odors, but also spread diseases indirectly. Such as causing cross-infection in public places such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, bathrooms, nursing homes, etc. Therefore, the research and development of antibacterial functions of textiles is particularly important.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Textile Antimicrobial Additive market finds that the global Textile Antimicrobial Additive market reached a value of USD 1131.41 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1656.71 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.56% during the forecast period.

As concerns about health and hygiene increase, the demand for antimicrobial finishing agents in the textile market is also growing. This trend is mainly favored by products that are antibacterial and inhibit the growth of bacteria. The industry is constantly seeking new antimicrobial technologies and formulations to improve product effectiveness and durability. The introduction of new materials and technologies makes antibacterial finishing agents more efficient, environmentally friendly, and more widely applicable. Manufacturers from different countries and regions compete to provide advanced products and technologies to meet the needs of the global market. In addition, antibacterial finishing agents are widely used in various textiles, including medical textiles, home textiles, industrial textiles, clothing, etc. This diversity makes the industry marketable in different areas. At the same time, as concerns about sustainability increase, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on reducing environmental impact and potential risks to the human body when developing textile antimicrobial finishes.

Textile antibacterial finishing agents are in widespread demand

Textiles with a porous structure can easily absorb sweat and sebum excreted by human sweat glands and sebaceous glands, providing a good growth and reproduction environment for pathogenic microorganisms, which have brought hidden dangers to humans such as disease transmission, food deterioration, and clothing plaque. . With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the additional functions of textiles. Textiles have gradually developed from simply covering the body to keep out the cold to being comfortable and healthy. Therefore, antibacterial finishing textiles that can meet the requirements of comfort and health have become a hot research topic. Antibacterial textiles that are efficient, broad-spectrum, durable, antibacterial and mildew-proof, safe, non-toxic and non-skin irritating are the future development trends. Attention to anti-viral and anti-bacterial textiles continues to heat up, and textile and clothing companies have made relevant arrangements. In the post-epidemic era, consumers are paying more and more attention to the application of new anti-viral and anti-bacterial technologies in textiles. Since the outbreak, textile companies have also been continuously strengthening the research and development of anti-viral and anti-bacterial functional textiles, which has brought new challenges to the development of the textile anti-bacterial finishing agent industry. opportunity.

security issues

At present, many antibacterial finishing agents contain toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metal ions, triclosan, α-bromocinnamic aldehyde, etc., which are harmful to the human body. In the rapid development of antibacterial textiles, safety is an issue that cannot be ignored. Studies have found that some antibacterial finishing agents that have been widely used in the past are harmful to the human body or the environment and have been banned or restricted. The EU BPR regulations and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD100 require that only biocide products containing active substances approved by the EU can be used for antibacterial treatment.
