항균 첨가제 시장 : 제품 유형별, 용도별, 최종 용도별, 지역별(2025-2033년)

The global antimicrobial additives market size reached USD 6.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during 2025-2033. The increasing use in agricultural films and coatings, rising demand for convenience foods, ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, and online food delivery services, and the growing emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable antimicrobial solutions are some of the major factors propelling the market.

Antimicrobial additives are incorporated into products and materials to inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. They help maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of various surfaces and materials by preventing microbial contamination. They can be incorporated into various materials, including plastics, textiles, paints, and coatings, without significantly altering the physical properties of materials. They help in maintaining a cleaner and more hygienic environment by reducing the spread of harmful microbes and promoting public health. They are used in food packaging materials to prevent the growth of spoilage microorganisms and pathogens, which helps in extending the shelf life of food products.

The escalating demand for antimicrobial additives in clothing, bedding, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is stimulating the market growth. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of antimicrobial additives to enhance interior materials is driving their demand in the automotive industry. These additives help control odors and inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold in vehicle interiors, which contribute to a healthier and more pleasant driving experience.
