The global antimicrobial medical textiles market is expected to reach USD 799.7 million by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an upsurge in the nosocomial infections worldwide, and growing awareness towards better healthcare practices are projected to fuel the demand for the product over the forecast period.
Application of polymeric materials for medical textiles is growing at a very fast pace. Polymers have found its applications across varied biomedical fields such as implantation of medical devices and artificial organs, tissue engineering, prostheses, dentistry, bone repair, ophthalmology and many other fields.
Rising awareness about advantages of antimicrobial textiles coupled with rising focus towards hygiene in hospitals is expected to augment development. However, stringent regulatory policies regarding use of these materials in Europe and North America is likely to restrain growth.
