By Type, Silver-based Type Dominated the Metal Biocides Market in 2023 with a 42% Market Share
Silver has significant antimicrobial properties, thus preventing the growth of microorganisms in different applications. As a result, it is widely used in healthcare, textile, and paint & coatings industries. The efficiency of silver and its increasing use in consumer products as a safe antimicrobial agent are what contribute to silver. Silver can be used in wound care products and medical devices, and the demand for such silver-based biocides will be especially good in wound care products because of its role in the reduction of infections. Moreover, the rising application of silver in textiles, due to its wide utilization of fabrics infused with silver, further confirms that silver is an important segment for the metal biocides market.
By End-Use Industry, Paints & Coatings Dominated the Metal Biocides Market in 2023 with a 32% Market Share
Metal biocides are critical to maintaining the performance and lifetime of the paint by assuring a free film from slime and biodeterioration of the coating. The continued growth in construction activities will help this segment grow as the need for antimicrobial paints increases. Favorable hygiene for building materials and high-performance, long-lasting coatings trends are expected to drive the market. This factor further drives the segment dominance as major paint manufacturers are adding metal biocides in their formulations to improve product performance.
Asia Pacific dominated the Metal Biocides Market in 2023, Holding a 41.56% Market Share
The demand for metal biocides in paints, textiles, and food & beverages is high in countries such as China, India, and Japan. Biocides are extensively employed throughout the Middle East region as a result of a strong Manufacturing industry, accompanied by incremental demand for Hygiene & Health. As an example, the manufacture of biocide-treated textiles, intended for hospitals and similar healthcare facilities, has become an important production activity in China. Moreover, the increasing penetration of sustainable and eco-friendly biocide solutions is also encouraging the growth of the market in this region.
North America Emerged as the Fastest Growing Region in the Metal Biocides Market with A Significant Growth Rate in The Forecast Period
A surge in its demand from healthcare, personal care, and paints & coatings sectors is the major factor that has been augmenting the market. In the U.S., increasing health-conscious consumers and regulatory pressure for the incorporation of antimicrobials in products have been the major aspects supporting the growth of this market. Firms such as Dow, BASF are laying substantial investment in the metal biocides formulations, especially in personal care products, as the demand for anti-microbials is substantial.
