The Remarkable Impact of Antimicrobial Additives

In a world where hygiene and safety have never been more critical, antimicrobial additives like Biomaster are transforming how we approach product protection. At Addmaster, each member of our team has their go-to example to explain the powerful simplicity of this technology and its potential impact.

Although the examples vary, the reactions are remarkably consistent: a sense of disbelief that such a straightforward solution exists, often followed by people imagining the wide range of potential applications. Whether for healthcare equipment, consumer goods, or everyday surfaces, the addition of Biomaster can provide effective, long-lasting protection, often at a surprisingly low cost. As a result, each conversation about this technology plants the seed for future demand.

Growing Awareness and Demand for Antimicrobial Solutions

As more industries and consumers learn about the advantages of antimicrobial technology, demand for treated products continues to rise. A recent study by one of our Biomaster clients revealed that incorporating our additives boosted customer confidence, with 97% of their customers reporting they felt safer using the treated products.

The global market for antimicrobial solutions underscores this growth. In the U.S. alone, the market for antimicrobial plastics was projected to surpass £850 million by 2020, reflecting an increased volume of nearly 200,000 tons annually. This surge is largely driven by growing awareness of bacteria-related risks. For example, a 2014 survey indicated that over half of Britons were “concerned” or “very concerned” about bacterial contamination on food packaging.

As we become more aware of the risks associated with bacteria, incorporating antimicrobial technology into products is rapidly shifting from a “nice-to-have” to an essential feature for manufacturers.

Why Now Is the Right Time to Integrate Biomaster into Your Products

Given this increased demand and awareness, there has never been a better time to explore the benefits of Biomaster technology for your product line. Our team is ready to assist in implementing an antimicrobial solution that enhances safety, boosts consumer confidence, and provides enduring value.
