The application fields of antibacterial agents in my country are very wide, and the market size is gradually expanding.
Antibacterial agents mainly refer to chemical substances that inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms within a certain period of time, so that their concentrations are lower than the nationally prescribed levels. After years of development, there are many types of antibacterial agents, which can be roughly divided into inorganic antibacterial agents, organic antibacterial agents, natural antibacterial agents, etc. Among them, the production technology of organic antibacterial agents is relatively mature and can be subdivided into preservatives, antifungal agents, antibacterial agents, anti-algae agents, etc.; inorganic antibacterial agents are a new type of contact antibacterial agent with very powerful bactericidal ability; natural antibacterial agents Agents are mainly derived from some extracts from plants and animals. The extraction cost is relatively high and the stability is relatively poor.
At present, my country’s antibacterial agent industry chain has been basically mature. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing copper, silver, zinc and other metals, as well as ornithine and other amino acids, lysine and other chemical raw materials; the midstream is mainly the antibacterial agent production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of different types of antibacterial agents; the downstream Mainly oriented to application fields, in daily chemicals, packaging materials, textiles, building materials, medicine and other fields. Among them, packaging materials accounted for the largest share of the overall market, accounting for 35.7%; followed by medicine, accounting for 21.1%; ranking third was building materials, accounting for 12.4%.
According to the “In-depth Analysis of the Antibacterial Agent Industry from 2023 to 2028 and the “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Plan Guidance Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that with the rapid economic and social development in our country, residents’ hygiene awareness has gradually increased, and their concern for physical health has gradually increased. Since there are a large number of fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms in nature, they can not only contaminate clothing, food, medicines, etc., but also cause certain harm to human health. Antibacterial agents can very well inhibit the growth of bacteria and reduce the degree of pollution. Among residents, It is widely used in daily life and the market demand is gradually increasing. Against this background, the scale of my country’s antimicrobial agent market is gradually expanding. In 2022, my country’s antibacterial agent market size will be 11.72 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.4%.
At present, my country’s antibacterial agent market competition is relatively fierce, market concentration is low, and no company with market influence has yet emerged. The major foreign antimicrobial companies include Pfizer, Bayer, Swedish Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, Merck, Novartis, etc. The major domestic antimicrobial companies include Sunflower Pharmaceuticals, Reckitt Biotech, Blue Peak Additives, Janis, etc. In addition, there are still a large number of antibacterial agent companies in my country’s antibacterial agent market. Such companies have small industrial scales, serious homogeneity of product quality, and relatively weak market competitiveness.
Industry analysts said that with the continuous development of my country’s antibacterial agent market, market competition has become more intense. In order to seize market share, large antimicrobial companies continue to improve production technology and product quality, and their market competitiveness is gradually increasing. However, due to small capital investment and relatively backward production technology, small and medium-sized antibacterial agent companies have gradually squeezed their living space and may be merged or disappeared in the future. The concentration of the antibacterial agent market is expected to increase.
