Antibacterial demand is rising day by day, antibacterial masterbatch has broad application prospects

Antibacterial masterbatch is a type of functional masterbatch, which refers to a concentrate made of various antibacterial agents evenly dispersed in a matrix resin. Antibacterial masterbatch mostly has the functions of deodorization, self-cleaning, antibacterial, anti-mildew, etc. After blending antibacterial masterbatch with resin particles, it can be made into antibacterial fibers, antibacterial plastics, antibacterial textiles, etc. according to different processing techniques. The terminal application of antibacterial masterbatch involves many fields such as electronic appliances, textiles, automobiles, medical care, food, and packaging.

According to the “2022-2026 China Antibacterial Masterbatch Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center , thanks to the growth of market demand, the scale of my country’s antibacterial masterbatch market continues to expand, with an average annual compound growth rate of approximately 6.5% from 2017 to 2021. By 2021, the size of my country’s antibacterial masterbatch market has reached 6.6 billion yuan. It is expected that in 2026, The size of this market will reach 8 billion yuan.
