Antimicrobial Additives Market Dynamics
Driver: Ascending Product Demand in Medical Devices Market
Medical devices require antimicrobial additives as they help in preventing the surfaces of devices, equipment, and implants from microbes. These antimicrobial additives kill the harmful bacteria that lead to infections, including carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. According to the research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017, approximately 4% of inpatients in acute care hospitals in the U.S. contract at least one health-related infection. Medical devices such as urinary catheters, vascular access devices, or enteral feeding tubes are particularly susceptible to the colonization of bacteria, which can enter the bloodstream. Therefore, as a solution, companies engaged in manufacturing medical devices are increasingly focusing on using antimicrobial masterbatches for blending with medical device polymers as these additives are highly successful in preventing colonization on the surface of device components. Thus, the rising utilization of antimicrobial additives in medical devices is expected to fuel market growth in the forecast period.
Driver: Rising Demand for Antimicrobial Packaging from Various End-Use Industries
Antimicrobial packaging is widely utilized in the food & beverage industry as it is preservative-free, requires minimal processing, and inhibits the growth of microorganisms and thus extends the shelf life of perishable products. Rising consumer awareness regarding health and the ascending need for products with a longer shelf life have resulted in the increased utilization of antimicrobial packaging in the recent past and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. Different ways of incorporating antimicrobials in packaging include immobilizing antimicrobials in polymers by using covalent or ion linkages, adopting inherently antimicrobial polymers, coating polymer surfaces with antimicrobials, directly incorporating volatile and non-volatile antimicrobials into polymers, and adding pads/sachets, which have volatile antimicrobial agents, to packages. Antimicrobial additives are used to produce antimicrobial packaging products, which help in the prevention of spoilage of food, beverages, and medicines due to microbial contamination. These additives are incorporated in food packaging structure, and their selection varies depending on the food type. An increase in the number of restaurants and fast-food joints is expected to drive the demand for packaging, thereby increasing the product demand. Moreover, paper packaging for food and medicine requires additives, thus creating huge growth prospects for the antimicrobial additives market.
Restraint: Stringent Environmental Regulations
The use of antimicrobial additives in healthcare products including disposable hygiene products and medical devices is recognized as one of the significant trends in the healthcare market. Stringent regulations have made antimicrobial additives suppliers introduce and set up new compositions to meet the safe administration and anti-bacterial properties standards such as Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) EU 528/2012 and Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), are expected to hamper the growth of the antimicrobial additive market over the forecast period. Antimicrobial products are regulated globally to protect the environment and humans from substances that may cause a harmful effect. Antimicrobials, when assimilated into plastics, can be considered ‘treated articles. These articles are treated with a biocidal substance but are not biocidal products, therefore waive many of the regulatory requirements present for biocidal products and active substances for the approval and registration of antimicrobial additives manufacturing and sale, which hinder the growth of the antimicrobial additive market.
