Antimicrobial Hospital Curtains Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Polypropylene, Polyester, Others), By Usability (Disposable,Reusable), By End-Users (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Antimicrobial curtains play an essential role in controlling contamination within the patient rooms and reduce the growth of micro-organisms like bacteria & fungus. These curtains reduce contamination caused due to multidrug-resistant organisms known as superbugs. Healthcare facilities are subjected to high risk of microbial contamination hence, various agencies such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and hospital management recommended the use of antimicrobial fabric in medical-related textiles to regulate microbial outbreak. Healthcare facilities considerably require a particular type of curtains that are made-up of antimicrobial and antifungal materials to keep the hospital environments disinfected and sanitary. An increase in hospital-acquired infections has led to the adoption of various parameters such as isolation and airborne precautions to reduce transmission. Moreover, factors such as a growing number of hospital admissions, maintenance of the safe and healthy environment in hospitals, need to inhibit the spread and growth of the bacterial disease are likely to boost the market growth.

The market of antimicrobial hospital curtains is growing due to the elements such as the growing concern of microbial transmission, increasing necessity for reducing maintenance cost in hospitals, various welfares of reusable antimicrobial clothes and curtains, and lack of isolated rooms for patients in emerging regions is expected to act as major driving factors for the growth of the market. According to World Health Organization, an average of 8.7% of hospital patients had hospital aquired infections and at any time, over 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from communicable infections attained in hospital. Additionally, disposable antimicrobial hospital curtains don’t require any laundering services leading to reduce initial cost capital expenditure. Moreover, welfares of antimicrobial curtains like being recyclable, easy installation and removal, worldwide flame-retardant sanctions, and being lightweight are further propelling the market growth.

However, the lack of product awareness in emerging regions is likely to restrict the growth of the market.
