Anti-Viral Fabric Market

Market Overview:

The global anti-viral fabric market size reached US$ 313.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 979.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1% during 2024-2032. The rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, rising awareness among the masses regarding the importance of maintaining proper hygiene, and continual technological advancements in fabric manufacturing, represent some of the key factors driving the market. 

Anti-viral fabric refers to the specialty fabric that has been specifically designed and treated to resist or inactivate viruses as well as provide an additional layer of protection against viral infections. Polyester, thermoplastic combinations, vinyl, and acrylics are the materials that are commonly used to manufacture anti-microbial fabrics resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew. These fabrics can mitigate the spread and reproduction of viruses by killing and reducing their attachment, making them highly effective in reducing the risk of cross-infection and re-infection. They are particularly useful in situations where individuals are in close proximity to others, such as in public transportation or healthcare settings.  The most common mechanisms by which anti-viral fabric works include- physical barrier, where the fiber physically blocks viruses from passing through the fabric, and chemical treatments that inactivate viruses on contact with chemically treated fabric. Anti-viral fabrics are an affordable way to increase protection against viral infections compared to other methods, such as expensive medical treatments or vaccines.

Anti-Viral Fabric Market Trends: 

The global market is primarily driven by the rising awareness among the masses regarding the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and precautions. This can be attributed to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic due to a highly contagious coronavirus. In line with this, the increasing prevalence of numerous chronic infectious diseases and illnesses is resulting in an augmented demand for anti-viral fabrics. Continual technological advancements in fabric manufacturing, such as advances in material science and nanotechnology, are also providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, considerable rise in healthcare spending is leading to a growing demand for products that can help prevent the spread of infections in healthcare facilities and protect healthcare workers. The market is further fueled by the rapid product utilization in the aviation industry to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria on airplanes and in airports. Apart from this, the rising adoption of anti-viral fabrics in the hospitality industry for maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is also acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. Furthermore, the implementation of stringent regulations by the government of several countries mandating the use of anti-viral fabrics in numerous end-use industries is creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the growing geriatric population that is susceptible to infectious diseases, emergence of innovative fabrics that coated with antimicrobial agents, considerable growth in the babycare industry, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
