Fabric Antibacterial Spray Market Report 2024

The fabric antibacterial spray market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.71 billion in 2023 to $0.8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for eco-friendly products, rising textile contamination, expansion of e-commerce platforms, growing incidence of infectious diseases, and a higher use of alcohol-based sanitizers.

The fabric antibacterial spray market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for hygiene products, increased use of antibacterial textiles, greater emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene, a rise in hospital-acquired infections, and the expansion of electrostatic sprayers. Major trends in the forecast period include the emergence of new fabric technologies, new formulations, the use of nanotechnologies, plant-based extracts, and the development of antibacterial home sanitizing products.

The rise in hospital-acquired infections is anticipated to drive the growth of the fabric antibacterial spray market in the future. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as healthcare-associated infections, are infections that patients acquire while receiving medical care in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital, and are not present or incubating at the time of admission. These infections typically develop 48 hours or more after being admitted to the healthcare setting. The increase in HAIs is largely due to factors such as antibiotic resistance among pathogens and lapses in infection control practices within healthcare facilities. Fabric antibacterial sprays can help reduce HAIs by effectively disinfecting textiles and surfaces, thereby minimizing the transmission of pathogens in healthcare environments. This can complement existing infection control measures and contribute to a safer hospital environment for both patients and staff. For example, according to the California Department of Public Health, a US-based state agency, hospitals reported 655 vancomycin-resistant enterococci bloodstream infections (VRE BSI) in 2022, which was 144 more than in 2021, representing a 23% increase in incidence rate compared to the previous year. Therefore, the growing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is driving the fabric antibacterial spray market.

Major players in the fabric antibacterial spray market are focusing on using plant-based extracts such as thymol and citric acid to differentiate their products. These natural antimicrobial agents are both effective and environmentally friendly, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and catering to the growing preference for sustainable products. For instance, in December 2023, Polygiene Group, a Sweden-based provider of odor control and fabric protection solutions, launched a new plant-based antimicrobial treatment called StayFreshBIO. This product utilizes a blend of natural plant extracts to provide long-lasting antibacterial protection for textiles without synthetic chemicals. StayFreshBIO has been tested and proven to maintain its antibacterial properties through multiple wash cycles, ensuring enduring protection for fabrics treated with the product.

In April 2024, Medline Industries, a US-based provider of medical supplies, equipment, and clinical solutions, acquired Ecolab Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Medline Industries to significantly expand its innovative sterile drape solutions for surgeons, patients, and operating room equipment, as well as Ecolab's fluid temperature management system. Ecolab Inc. is a US-based company that manufactures fabric antibacterial sprays.
