Antimicrobial plastics are polymer materials infused with antimicrobial agents and additives, such as organic-metallic biocides and oxybisphenoxarsine (OBPA). They are mainly used to kill microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, and inhibit their growth in the end-use product. Antimicrobial plastics offer improved mechanical properties, high dimensional stability, heat & chemical resistance, chemical stability and are low cost. The continuous and repeated use of plastic materials may cause hygiene-related concerns, increasing the risk of contamination and pathogenic diseases. The use of antimicrobials plastics restricts the growth of microorganisms and helps prevent the harmful effects caused by the presence of bacteria, fungi, and other parasites.

Inorganic additives is the largest additive segment of the antimicrobial plastics market. Commodity plastics is the largest type segment of the antimicrobial plastics market. Medical & healthcare was the largest application segment of the antimicrobial plastics market. Asia Pacific was the largest market for antimicrobial plastics in 2020, in terms of value. Although industrial operations in other end-use industries such as building & construction, automotive, consumer goods, and packaging were restricted, the increasing trend of antimicrobial plastics usage in these applications is expected to register positive growth during the forecast period.

"Inorganic additives is projected to be the fastest-growing additive for antimicrobial plastics market between 2021 and 2026"

Antimicrobial additives consist of certain specific active ingredients which have antimicrobial properties. These additives are effective against a broad range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. There is a higher demand for inorganic antimicrobial additives mainly due to their non-volatile nature, high thermal stability, and widespread applications. Inorganic antimicrobial additives are widely used in the healthcare, packaging, and construction industries.

"High-performance plastics segment is projected to be the fastest-growing type for antimicrobial plastics market between 2021 and 2026."

High-performance plastics play a significant role in the automotive segment to make a vehicle lightweight. The growth of high-performance plastics is mainly attributed to the augmenting need from the automotive industry. The high-performance plastics market is growing rapidly and is expected to continue to grow owing to its increasing demand from industries such as medical & healthcare, electronics, and automotive.
