A growing consumer awareness of health and hygiene is fueling the expansion of the antimicrobial textile market. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness about cleanliness and increased the demand for antimicrobial textiles capable of eliminating viruses. Consequently, companies within the textile industry are swiftly innovating antimicrobial products.
The evolving preferences of health-conscious consumers and their proactive lifestyle choices are set to propel the growth of the antimicrobial textile market. Health-conscious consumers prioritize making decisions that contribute to their overall well-being. These consumers increasingly prioritize hygiene and cleanliness in their daily routines, leading to an elevated demand for antimicrobial textiles. Heightened awareness of the health risks associated with microbial contamination has bolstered the demand for textiles embedded with antimicrobial properties.
In the antimicrobial textile market, a prevailing trend is the emphasis on technological advancements. Key companies operating in this sector are dedicated to pioneering technological solutions aimed at curbing the spread of viruses and meeting the evolving consumer demands. For instance, in September 2023, Microban International, a US-based provider of antimicrobial additives and odor control solutions, introduced a next-generation antimicrobial technology named Ascera. This innovative technology leverages an active ingredient inspired by nature, designed specifically for application in olefinic polymers and solvent-based coatings. The patent-pending Ascera boasts sustainability, being devoid of metal and exhibiting reduced toxicity compared to alternative technologies. This trend showcases a pivotal focus on technological innovation within the antimicrobial textile market to address pressing consumer demands and concerns.
Leading corporations in the antimicrobial textile industry are innovating their product offerings, exemplified by the introduction of Sanitized Puretec. This groundbreaking solution, devised by Sanitized based in Switzerland, is a non-leaching, metal-free, and particle-free antimicrobial application designed for all fiber types. Sanitized Puretec aims to deter the accumulation of odor-causing bacteria. Notably, the technology complies with global standards, undergoes dermatological testing, and has demonstrated exceptional performance across natural, synthetic, and blended fabrics even after a minimum of 50 washes. Launched in June 2022, the Sanitized Puretec portfolio showcases sustained efficacy without the release of the active ingredient, rendering it a secure and eco-friendly solution even after numerous wash cycles.
In January 2022, Polygiene Group, a Sweden-based company focused on odor control and antimicrobial technologies, acquired SteriTouch for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aimed to enhance Polygiene’s product range and reinforce its position in the expanding antimicrobial textiles and surfaces market, which has seen heightened demand for health and hygiene solutions in the wake of the pandemic. SteriTouch is a UK-based manufacturer of antimicrobial textiles.
