The increase in hospital-acquired infections is expected to propel the growth of the fabric antibacterial spray market going forward. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as healthcare-associated infections, are infections that patients contract while receiving medical care in a healthcare facility, and these infections are not present or incubating at the time of admission, typically developing 48 hours or more after entry into the healthcare setting. The rise in HAIs is mainly attributed to factors such as growing 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 limiting pathogen transmission in healthcare environments. This supports existing infection control strategies and contributes to a safer hospital environment for both patients and staff. For example, in September 2025, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based government agency, 13,438 cases of Klebsiella species (Klebsiella spp.) bacteraemia were reported by NHS acute trusts in England in FY 2024-2025, marking a 2.5% increase from FY 2023-2024. Therefore, the rise in hospital-acquired infections is driving the fabric antibacterial spray market.

Major companies operating in the fabric antibacterial spray market are focusing on using plant-based extracts such as thymol and citric acid to differentiate their product offerings.
