Global Antimicrobial Plastics Market to 2025 with BASF, DuPont De Nemours, Microban Int'l, Sanitized, and Lonza Dominating

DUBLIN, Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Antimicrobial Plastics Market by Type (Commodity Plastics, Engineering Plastics, and High Performance Plastics), Application (Packaging, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Medical and Healthcare, and Building & Construction), Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The antimicrobial plastics market size is estimated to grow from USD 32,077.9 million in 2019 to USD 59,782.8 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 10.1% between 2020 and 2025.

Antimicrobial plastics are polymer materials infused with antimicrobial agents and additives, such as organic-metallic biocides and oxybisphenoxarsine (OBPA). They are mainly used to kill microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, and inhibit their growth in the end-use product. Antimicrobial plastics offer improved mechanical properties, high dimensional stability, heat & chemical resistance, chemical stability, and are low cost.

Consumer awareness about health-related issues is growing due to the increasing number of cases of nosocomial infections and epidemic outbreaks of life-threatening diseases such as H5N1 Avian influenza, H1N1 Swine flu, and COVID-19 in recent times. This has resulted in increasing demand from various sectors such as healthcare and medical for antimicrobial plastics due to their high antimicrobial activity, hardness, durability, and transparency. They are also used in non-toxic plastic equipment.

The growing demand for medical devices is likely to augment the market of antimicrobial plastics in the healthcare sector. However, volatile prices of raw materials and government regulations on the usage of plastics in certain applications are hindering the growth of the market.

The continuous and repeated use of plastic materials may cause issues related to hygiene, thereby increasing the risk of contamination and pathogenic diseases. The use of antimicrobials plastics restricts the growth of microorganisms and helps prevent the harmful effects caused by the presence of bacteria, fungi, and other parasites.

The leading manufacturers include BASF SE (Germany), DuPont De Nemours, Inc. (US), Microban International Ltd. (US), Sanitized AG (Switzerland), and Lonza Group (Switzerland).
