Antimicrobial Hospital Curtains Market: Overview

Antimicrobial curtains used in hospitals play an important role in controlling contamination in the patient room. These curtains help in minimizing the contamination occurring as a result of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as superbugs. As per the CDC (Center for Disease Control), healthcare units are prone to microbial contamination and hence the use of antimicrobial fabrics is recommended in these healthcare units to control microbial contamination. For the record, antimicrobial hospital curtains are mostly made from polypropylene or polyester. A rise in hospital-acquired infections along with the need for maintaining a healthy & clean environment in hospitals has resulted in humungous demand for antimicrobial curtains in hospitals.

Antimicrobial Hospital Curtains Market: Growth Factors

Rise in hospital-acquired infections to boost the global market trends 

Growing concerns over microbial transmission through hospital curtains and the lack of availability of isolated rooms in hospitals for patients in developing countries will steer the expansion of the antimicrobial hospital curtains market across the globe. Beneficial product features such as recyclability, flame-retarding features, ease of deployment, and lightweight will drive global market trends. An increase in the number of patients suffering from hospital-acquired infections has led to large-scale demand for antimicrobial hospital curtains. Easy access to disposable products will spearhead the global market expansion. New product launches will contribute significantly towards the global market proceeds in the upcoming years. For instance, in April 2020,  Polyfuze Graphics® Corporation, a key firm offering antimicrobial labeling solutions, launched a new antimicrobial-blocking polymer product. Such a move will steer the demand for antimicrobial hospital curtains across the globe. Reportedly, in the first quarter of 2021, Parx Materials NV, a key player manufacturing biocide-free antimicrobial technology, launched Saniconcentrate, a new additive creating antimicrobial polymers that can halt the spread of the virus.
