Antimicrobials used to provide Biologically Active Surfaces, are finding an increasing usage within the medical industry, followed by consumer products and industrial processes. The Antimicrobials are added via a number of methods to deliver bioactive activity.
Products with Biologically Active Surfaces allow antiallergy / antimold and health claims to be made. The claims are based upon the ability of Antimicrobials to control the number of microbes that live on the surface of treated products.
The report Antimicrobials used in Biologically Active Surfaces, provides in depth information on the market for Antimicrobials used to provide Biologically Active Surfaces. Each of the Antimicrobials used are discussed with value and volume data provided. This is followed by a summary for each of the Antimicrobial suppliers that are active in this sector. Industry influences on this market segment, are also discussed including the impact of current and emerging regulations on the Antimicrobials used. The report concludes with forecasts for Antimicrobials used.
The scope of the study is Global. The overview section provides extended definitions, to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the technology involved. In addition, this section provides an analysis of Antimicrobial consumption by application and region. There is a profile of an ideal Antimicrobial as outlined by end users.
The company profiles section includes a discussion of the companies that have pioneered Antimicrobial development within Biologically Active Surfaces and examines how their available products and services are setting the standards. In this report more than 500 endusers are profiled. The base year for this study is 2013.
Consumer surveys indicate that hygiene is a major issue for a majority of people. This may be due to the rapid growth in Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs).
