Press Releases

During the projected period of 2025-2030, the global antimicrobial additives market is expected to develop at a CAGR of 6.7 percent. Surface efficiency is improved by antimicrobial additives, also known as biocides, which substantially reduce microbial unfavorable effects. The adoption of antimicrobial surfaces is considered important to fight against cross-contamination and the spread of superbugs in hygiene-critical areas such as hospitals. Due to increased attributes such as high dimensional stability, heat & chemical resistance, and chemical stability, antimicrobial additives are in higher demand in various end-use industries, which will drive the antimicrobial additives market in the forecast era. The increased demand from the healthcare industry, rising population, and robust urbanization in developing economies of APAC will propel the growth of the end-use verticals, thus propelling the demand for the antimicrobial additives market.  Moreover, the rising degree of awareness regarding health-related issues among consumers, increased adoption of silver-based products in the form of antimicrobial additives will offer excellent features for growth during the forecast period and henceforth, help in the development of the antimicrobial additives market.

In January 2022, Polygiene, a Swedish antimicrobial manufacturer, has purchased SteriTouch from Radical Materials Limited, a privately held English firm, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Addmaster in the United Kingdom. Antimicrobial additives for plastics, coatings, and paints will be greatly expanded as a result of the acquisition.

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a positive impact on the global antimicrobial additives market and is gaining traction from the healthcare sector as it has the ability to reduce coronavirus. Furthermore, the adoption of antimicrobial additives in the manufacturing of face masks and other protective equipment in the healthcare sector will proliferate the growth of the market.

By type, the inorganic antimicrobial additives segment will contribute to the largest share during the forecast period.

Based on type, the global antimicrobial additives market is separated into inorganic antimicrobial additives and organic antimicrobial additives. Inorganic antimicrobial additives dominate the market owing to their properties like long-lasting antimicrobial effect, possess high heat stability, low volatility, high thermal stability, and decrease the risk of microbe adaption. Therefore, they are extensively used in healthcare, food & beverage, and construction industries.
