Antimicrobial Textiles Market Size
Antimicrobial textiles Market was valued at over USD 16 billion in 2023 and is set to record 6.9% CAGR during 2024 to 2032, due to the increasing awareness and demand for hygiene and health safety. With the growing incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and global health concerns, there has been a strong focus on preventing the spread of pathogens. As per WHO, around 136 million people suffer from HAIs globally.
Antimicrobial textiles prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses and are essential for good hygiene, sportswear, and everyday clothing. The growing aging population and rising healthcare costs are further emphasizing the demand for antimicrobial clothing in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, where infection prevention is important.

The development of new disinfectants and treatments, such as silver nanoparticles, quaternary ammonium compounds and copper ions is improving the efficacy and durability of antimicrobial textiles. The preference for multifunctional clothing is rising as it not only satisfies consumer preferences for comfort and style but also offers health benefits, further promoting the product use in the fashion and sports industries. The emerging sustainability trends are pushing manufacturers to focus on eco-friendly antimicrobial treatments to meet the demand for sustainable and safe textile products.
However, the high production costs and potential health concerns may deter the product uptake. The addition of antimicrobial chemicals, such as silver nanoparticles, copper ions and other therapeutic agents is significantly increasing the manufacturing costs, making these textiles more expensive than conventional fabrics. There are also ongoing concerns about the potential toxicity and environmental impacts of these textiles, which may leach during washing or disposal, posing threats to human health and ecosystems. Regulatory challenges in various industries as well as standards may further limit the market expansion to some degree.
