Antimicrobial Textile Market Grows At Rate Of 12% With New Technological Solutions

The global antimicrobial textile market size is expected to grow from $9.38 billion in 2021 to $10.55 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. Antimicrobial textile market growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The antimicrobial textile market is expected to reach $14.64 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.5%.

An increase in consumer awareness regarding health and hygiene is contributing to the growth of the antimicrobial textile market. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness about health and cleanliness, as well as increased demand for antimicrobial textiles that can kill viruses. As a result, the textile industry’s companies are rapidly developing antimicrobial products. For example, in 2021, a survey of 306 participants was conducted online, with 49.3% females and 50.6% males from five major cities: Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai, and it revealed that consumer awareness of hygiene, health, and environmental issues will influence the purchase of antimicrobial textiles. Moreover, according to a poll by E times in 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed Indians’ attitudes toward health, with 70% saying they will prioritize food and lifestyle adjustments in 2021 to manage both physical and emotional health. Therefore, an increase in consumer awareness regarding health and hygiene will drive the growth of the global antimicrobial textile market going forward.
