Plastics play a major role in our
lives today and are found abundantly in our everyday lives. They find
applications across a host of industries including medicines, construction,
appliances, automotives, and in other industries. However, repeated use of
plastics over a substantial period is raising a concern over their hygiene.
Overuse of plastic bottles to store water results in leaking of chemicals into
the water. Storing food in plastic containers promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Contamination problems are increasing with escalating cases of
pathogenic diseases. Use of antimicrobials in plastics can help kill or control
the growth of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other
parasites.

Consumer awareness regarding the
importance of antimicrobials in plastics is growing owing to the widespread
epidemic outbreaks of life threatening diseases such as H1N1 in 2009 and
increasing cases of nosocomial infections in recent times. There is an evident
increase in the demand for antimicrobials in the medical and healthcare sector.
This is one of the primary reasons for driving the global antimicrobial
market’s growth. Moreover, the antimicrobial plastic market is witnessing rapid
growth in the developing regions of Asia Pacific as there is an increase in the
use of plastics here. Many large scale plastic manufacturers are using
antimicrobial additives in their products such as medical equipments, bottles,
and food packaging.
Economic slowdown is one of the main
factors affecting the antimicrobial plastics market. It affects the consumption
of antimicrobials in plastics as manufacturers have to produce cost-effective
products. Moreover, in developing regions of Asia Pacific and Latin America,
there are no stringent regulations on the use of antimicrobials in plastics. This
has resulted in malpractices among some of the manufacturers to make false
claims of the antimicrobial plastics used in their products. This has in turn
affected the antimicrobial plastics market negatively.
There is an increasing demand from
sectors such as healthcare and medicine for antimicrobial polymers for
non-toxic plastic equipments which also has properties such as higher
antimicrobial activity, durability, hardness, and transparency. In addition to
this, consumers are becoming more aware of the use of antimicrobial plastic
products, resulting in a rising demand for cost-effective, eco-friendly
polymers with advanced properties.
Some of the leading manufacturers of
antimicrobial plastics are BASF, Bayer Material Science, Ticona Engineering Polymers,
Momentive Performance Materials , Doeflex Vitapol , and Teknor Apex Company .
Some of the other companies manufacturing only antimicrobial additives are
Clariant , Troy Corporation, and Arch Chemicals Inc. .
