The cotton segment is estimated to dominate this market overall. Cotton was the largest material type in this market overall, because cotton is susceptible to microbial attack, as is it a naturally occurring plant fiber. Due to its natural comfort, it is used more as compared to other antimicrobial hospital textiles material, which is driving its demand.
Attire is the largest application during the forecast period. Critical in protecting hospital staff and in preventing hospital-associated infections (HAIs), this attire is mandatory practice in hospitals.
