Environmental protection requirements continue to increase, and the bio-based antimicrobial agent market has broad development prospects

Antibacterial agents, also known as bactericides, are additives that inhibit or kill bacteria, fungi, molds, algae and viruses. Antibacterial agents are a type of plastic additives and are widely used in textiles, food packaging, medical equipment, daily chemical products and other fields. In recent years, with the increasing environmental protection requirements, bio-based materials have become the main trend of future market development, and the market attention of bio-based antibacterial agents has increased accordingly.

Bio-based antibacterial agents are extracted from biomass resources and are safe, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient bio-based additives. Bio-based antibacterial agents are an important branch of the bio-based additives industry. Driven by national policy guidance and market consumption upgrades, antibacterial agent products are bound to develop towards green and healthy development, and the bio-based antibacterial agents market has broad development space.

The global bio-based antibacterial agent market is mainly distributed in Asia, Europe, North America and other regions. Related manufacturers include Microphone Co., Ltd., BASF of Germany, Herma, Bayer Materials Science, DuPont, Evonik Chemicals, Jin Micro and Nano, Jiangsu Wanna, Shanghai Langyi et al. my country is a major country in the production and consumption of antibacterial agents, and there is a broad space for substitution of bio-based antibacterial agents. With technological advancement and the improvement of corporate R&D capabilities, the scale of the bio-based antibacterial agent industry will continue to expand, and the future development prospects of the industry are broad.

Bio-based antibacterial raw materials come from a wide range of sources, including chitosan, nisin, cinnamon essential oil, clove essential oil, citric acid, ε-polylysine, lysozyme, etc. According to the “2022-2027 China Bio-based Antibacterial Agent Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, residents’ health awareness has increased, and the development of the antibacterial plastics market has accelerated. In 2021, the global antibacterial plastics market will be close to US$14 billion. The market demand for antibacterial plastics is growing, which is beneficial to the development of the bio-based antibacterial agent industry.

Antibacterial agents have bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects. Currently, the antibacterial agent market is still dominated by petroleum-based antibacterial agents. However, petroleum-based antibacterial agents are highly dependent on fossil resources, and fossil resources are non-renewable resources. Under the background of the peak strategy, petroleum-based antibacterial agents can no longer meet the market’s low-carbon, efficient, and environmentally friendly consumption needs. Bio-based antibacterial agents can replace petroleum-based antibacterial agents and alleviate problems such as resource shortages and product health risks. They are of great significance to promoting the development of the entire bio-based additive industry.

Industry analysts said that compared with petroleum-based antibacterial agents, bio-based antibacterial agents have the advantages of being safe, green, and renewable. As the energy conversion speed accelerates, the market demand for bio-based antibacterial agents will continue to be released. my country is a major producer and consumer of antibacterial agents. As residents’ health awareness increases, the development of the antibacterial plastic market accelerates, which will provide broad space for the development of the bio-based antibacterial agent market.
