Antimicrobial Hospital Curtains Market Size & Growth Analysis to 2030

The global antimicrobial hospital curtains market size is accounted to grow at a significant CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027 and expected to reach over USD 5 billion by 2027. The increasing incidence of microorganism transmission in hospitals around the world is a primary factor to drive the market growth. In September 2019, Enducride Ltd published results for the standard endurocide antimicrobial & sporicidal curtains against the candida auris and measles virus.

As per the latest information shared by World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 8.7% of patients suffer from hospital-acquired infections and it is accounted as 1.4 million people suffer from infection complications around the world at any time. The lack of single room accommodation for patients in developing economies is further expected to increases the demand for antimicrobial curtains. However, the market growth may be restrained by the lack of awareness about the importance of antimicrobial hospital curtains in health facilities in low-middle-income countries.

Market Drivers:

Increasing Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs): Hospital-acquired infections pose a significant challenge to patient safety and healthcare institutions. Antimicrobial hospital curtains offer an effective solution to minimize the spread of pathogens and reduce the risk of HAIs. The rising awareness about HAIs and the need for infection control measures have fueled the demand for antimicrobial curtains.

Growing Focus on Infection Prevention: Healthcare facilities worldwide are placing greater emphasis on infection prevention and control measures. Antimicrobial hospital curtains provide an additional layer of protection by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria and other microorganisms. The increased adoption of these curtains is driven by the need to create a safer and more hygienic healthcare environment.

Regulatory Guidelines and Standards: Regulatory agencies and healthcare organizations have introduced guidelines and standards emphasizing infection control practices in healthcare settings. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States has specific recommendations for infection prevention in hospitals. Antimicrobial curtains, which contribute to these guidelines, have experienced increased demand as healthcare facilities strive to adhere to the regulations.

Rising Healthcare Expenditure: The global healthcare expenditure has been steadily increasing, driven by factors such as population growth, aging demographics, and advancements in healthcare technologies. With a greater focus on patient safety and infection control, healthcare facilities are allocating more resources to implement preventive measures, including the adoption of antimicrobial hospital curtains.

Technological Advancements: The development of advanced textile technologies has facilitated the production of antimicrobial curtains with enhanced properties. These curtains incorporate antimicrobial agents or coatings that are effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Technological advancements in antimicrobial textiles have improved the durability, effectiveness, and ease of maintenance of these curtains, making them more appealing to healthcare facilities.

Increasing Awareness and Education: Healthcare professionals and administrators are becoming more aware of the role played by contaminated surfaces, including curtains, in the transmission of infections. The dissemination of knowledge regarding the importance of infection control and the availability of antimicrobial solutions have increased the demand for these curtains in healthcare settings.

Patient and Staff Safety Concerns: Patients and healthcare workers are increasingly concerned about their safety within healthcare facilities. Antimicrobial hospital curtains provide reassurance by creating a barrier against pathogens, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and enhancing overall safety.

Cost-Effectiveness: Antimicrobial curtains, despite their higher upfront cost compared to traditional curtains, are often considered cost-effective in the long run. By reducing the incidence of HAIs and associated healthcare costs, such as prolonged hospital stays and additional treatments, antimicrobial curtains can lead to cost savings for healthcare facilities.
