Global Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Market 2023

Description
The global anti-viral fabric market is expected to grow significantly in various end-use applications, reaching a market size of $215.3 billion in 2022. The textile industry has experienced strong growth since March 2020 due to the global pandemic. Face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) have become essential in the medical industry and for frontline workers. However, prolonged use of masks and PPE can lead to contamination and the transmission of COVID-19. Therefore, it is important to disinfect these items after each use.

To address this issue, research and development activities have focused on technologies that can neutralize the SARS-COV2 virus on fabrics. Studies have shown that copper ions, silver ions, and other chemicals can effectively kill the virus within a few hours. Companies have developed technologies that claim to eliminate the COVID-19 virus by up to 99.9% within 30 minutes to two hours. These companies have obtained patents for their anti-viral technologies and have partnered with major textile end-user companies. Key players in this market include HeiQ Materials AG, Polygiene, Rudolf GmbH, and HealthGuard Corporation Pty. Ltd.
