The Rise of Antimicrobial Plastics: From Medical Devices to Everyday Products

?

Antimicrobial plastics are polymers that have been treated with substances that have the ability to kill or limit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These antimicrobial chemicals are often integrated into the plastic during the manufacturing process and can be customized to give long-term antimicrobial protection. Antimicrobial polymers are utilized in a variety of applications where microbe control is critical, such as medical devices, food packaging, and consumer products such as toys and electronics. They can also be used to assist reduce the transmission of illness in healthcare settings.

"Inorganic was the?largest additive"

Copper type of inorganic additive is majorly used in medical & healthcare, food & beverage, consumer goods, and agricultural industries. These additives have high thermal and electrical conductivity, good corrosion resistance, and ease of formability. Hospitals, ambulances, public buildings, and public transport are some of the applications of copper additives. Zinc inorganic additive is used in the lining of food cans which are used for the packaging of meat, fish, corn, and peas. Zinc helps in preserving colors and prevent spoilage.

"High-Performance Plastics is projected to register the highest CAGR"

High-performance plastics are the most expensive plastic material compared to commodity plastics and engineering plastics. The high-performance plastics market is projected to witness a high growth rate and is expected to continue to grow due to its growing demand from industries such as medical & healthcare, electronics, and automotive. Even though the consumption of these plastics in terms of volume is low, their market share in terms of value is more owing to their high prices. High-performance type of polymer is used in high-end products. They are used in premium cars in order to reduce weight but have the same strength as that metal. They are also used in medical equipment where mechanical properties, thermal stability, and other features along with antimicrobial protection are required.

"Medical & Healthcare is estimated to be the largest application"

The medical & healthcare segment is estimated to be the largest application of the antimicrobial plastics market during the forecast period. Commodity plastics such as PVC and PET are used for manufacturing surgical plastic equipment such as tubes, aprons, and injections. Also, the increasing senior citizen population, the spread of various diseases, and the need for a safe and hygienic lifestyle are driving the market demand. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that this change in consumer purchasing behavior and structural changes in the consumer products industry would enhance demand for consumer plastics with antimicrobial qualities.

"Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest market for antimicrobial plastics"

Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing antimicrobial plastics market. Asia has seen widespread use of plastic packaging, with countries like India and China making large contributions through their food and beverage industries. The packaging sector has been a major force behind technology and innovation in the nation over the past few years, adding value to a number of manufacturing industries, including agriculture and the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segments. High demand for specialized medical services due to the presence of developed healthcare infrastructure, rising rates of cardiovascular illnesses and an aging population are anticipated to fuel the demand for medical equipment, which would in turn have a favorable impact on the demand for antimicrobial plastic in the healthcare industry, in Asia Pacific region.
