DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Antimicrobial Textile Market by Active Agents (Synthetic Organic Compounds, Metal & Metallic Salts, Bio-based), Application (Medical Textiles, Apparels, Home Textiles), Fabric (Cotton, Polyester, and Polyamide), and Region - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Antimicrobial Textile Market is Estimated to Grow USD 9.5 Billion in 2019 to USD 12.3 Billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 5.4%
Antimicrobial textiles are fiber-based substrates on which antimicrobial agent is either coated or incorporated, to either kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
Growth of the market is primarily triggered by the need for hygiene products to combat the increasing number of infections due to microorganisms in various applications such as sportswear, protective wear, curtains & drapes, carpets, surgical supplies & wipes, bedding, intimates, and footwear.
The antimicrobial textiles market is witnessing high growth owing to technological advances, high demand from APAC, and growing applications such as medical textiles and apparel. Growth in the market is also backed by the growing healthcare market and the increasing awareness of consumers regarding health and hygiene. However, factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices, low efficiency of existing antimicrobial treated textiles, and compliance with the stringent regulations act as a restraint for the growth of this market.
Milliken & Company (US), Thai Acrylic Fiber Co. Ltd. (Thailand), Trevira GmbH (Germany), PurThread Technologies, Inc. (US), LifeThreads LLC (US), Unitika Trading Co. Ltd. (Japan), Vestagen Protective Technologies, Inc. (US), Sinterama (Italy), Smith & Nephew Plc. (UK), and Herculite Inc. (US) are some of the leading players in the entire value chain of the antimicrobial textiles market.
Merger & acquisition; new product development; and partnership, collaboration, expansion are the key strategies adopted by industry players to achieve growth in the entire value chain of the antimicrobial textiles market.
