Market Overview:
The Global Antimicrobial Textile Market size is expected to grow from USD 9.29 Billion in 2022 to USD 13.41 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Since 1941, there has been a growing interest in improving antimicrobial properties in the textile industry. People have realized that textiles can play a role in protecting wearers against the spread of bacteria and diseases. Microbial growth on textiles during use and storage can have detrimental effects on both the wearer and the textile itself. To address this issue, durable antimicrobial finishes have been developed using broad-spectrum biocides, and biocides have been introduced into synthetic fibres during the spinning or extrusion process. Fabrics provide an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms when they have access to nutrients, oxygen, moisture, and suitable temperatures.
