This report covers the antimicrobial technology market, including analysis of four key antimicrobial technologies: silver, copper, zinc and silane quaternary compounds. Antimicrobial technologies provide residual protection against microbes. The report examines how the technologies work, key considerations for companies seeking to develop products, and analyzes over 100 companies active in this area.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the world's worst public health emergencies in living memory and has affected all aspects of life around the world. The pandemic has also propelled awareness of antimicrobial technology and antimicrobial products to new heights. Over the course of the pandemic, players in the antimicrobial technology market developed new antimicrobial additives and coatings to meet unprecedented demand for antiviral surfaces and residual antimicrobial protection.
 
What are antimicrobial technologies?
Antimicrobial technologies, as covered in this IDTechEx report, refer to additives and coatings that provide background elimination of microorganisms, including bacteria, virus, and fungi. While regular cleaning can remove and kill the microorganisms present on a surface, antimicrobial technologies offer continuous residual protection between cleans.
 
But even before the COVID-19 pandemic, antimicrobial technologies have been saving lives and money across a broad number of sectors. A key driver for the use of antimicrobial technologies is their ability to address hospital-acquired infections (or healthcare-associated infection). When used in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, antimicrobial technologies have been demonstrated to significantly decrease the rates of infection. By doing so, thousands if not tens of thousands of deaths can be prevented, and billions of dollars can be saved.
 
There are many opportunities beyond the healthcare sector, including food, agriculture, aquaculture, construction (including heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems), and public settings. The use of antimicrobial paints, coatings and additives in the built environment extends the lifetime of the product which has built-in antimicrobial technology. Beyond product protection, antimicrobial technology also indirectly improves human health through addressing indoor air quality. Antimicrobial textiles can provide anti-odor effect to clothing, curtains, carpets and soft furnishings. With the world moving against the prophylactic use of antibiotics in agriculture, antimicrobial companies can fill in the gap. And now, the COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on the importance of cleaning high-touch surfaces in public settings, and the role of antimicrobial technologies in public health by providing cleaner and safer environments for people in a post-pandemic world.
