Helmut Kaiser Consultancy has released a new study: The Markets for Antimicrobial Additives in Plastics Worldwide - http://www.hkc22.com/antimicrobials.html
Hygiene issues have been becoming more and more relevant in the last few
years. With increasing population it is inevitable to to find a solution
to reduce the problems with microbial contaminations. Bacteria, fungi
and algae can be major problems in health, construction, food, and
packaging industries. Contaminantion problems are especially relevant in
the health industry, there are a lot of cases of nosocomial infections
in hospitals, which can be prevented through hygiene and disinfection.
Antimicrobial can be used to control the build up and growth of bacteria
in surfaces, such as plactics and other materials. The market for
antimicrobial additives has been developing steadily, with the largest
market share for the food and beverages industry.
The highest markets in the total markets for plasctic additives are in
the field of fire protection and anitmicrobials. USA, Europe, China and
other Asia Pacific Countries consume about a third of the plastic
additive volume, followed by other Countries. The market is relatively
new and will develop in the near future. Major developments and growth
will be seen in China, India, and the rest of the Asian countries. With
the increasing awareness of disinfection and potential liabilties for
microbes and foodbourne pathogens, we can also expect a high growth in
the food Industy (Food and Beverages), pharmaceutical and chemical and
water disinfection.
In the future nanotechnology will play a more crucial role in the
development of this market. With nanotechnologies, we will be able to
produce particles small enough to be use effectively as plastics and
polymer additives. This means that we will be able to produce plastics
with different properties, with more efficient antimicrobial or fire
retardant properties. The growth of nanotechnology markets will
influence the whole additive markets, including antimicrobials.
Antimicrobial additives and coating will experience a high growth in the
future, with new innovations, research and developments in this area.
Some of the applications of these antimicrobial plastics include
hospitals, public facilities, furniture and food/beverage packaging,
pharmaceutical and water disinfection .
