2020 insights into antiviral agents for surface treatment - emerging antiviral agents in the market

The "Antiviral Agents For Surface Treatment" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This report studies the antiviral agents to provide the antiviral activities to the surface of the material. This report is categorized based on antiviral agents, material surface, mode of incorporation, and applications.

In the past few years, deaths due to viral infections such as Norovirus, avian influenza, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) have been reported. The presently evolved problem of COVID-19, a "pandemic" crisis that spreads around the world due to traffic development and virus mutation, has unveiled a new and, at the same time, a very crucial avenue for companies in the antiviral's utilization in day-to-day products scenario. It is also anticipated to provide antiviral performance to various products as well as general public facilities.

This report covers the antiviral materials based on the types of antiviral agents include inorganic (copper, zinc, and silver), organic (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QUATs). halogen-containing polymers: e.g., N-halamines), natural (obtained from plants, animals, and microbes), and other types of agents. The report reflects antiviral agents' use with a wide variety of materials such as glass, polymer, paper, and other materials upon which antiviral agents can be applied/incorporated by modes such as blend, lamination, coating, additive, and different application modes.

This report also categorized the material based on the packaging industry's application areas, medical & healthcare industry, textile industry, and household goods. It also discusses the emerging antiviral agents, commercial available antiviral agents, R&D activities, recent activities related to the merger, acquisition, collaboration, and licensing.

“Production is a product”

From technical textiles and AI-driven robotics to the limitations of textile circularity: Professor Dr Thomas Gries looks back on more than two decades of development at ITA Aachen. In the interview, he explains why production technology remains a decisive success factor, discusses international collaborations and innovation ecosystems, and shares his views on the transformation of production landscapes and the challenges facing an increasingly regulated industry.

“We need to move away from the price trap and return to a value-driven mindset.”

With its new Textile Innovation Center, KARL MAYER is sending a strong signal for innovation, collaboration, and the future of textile applications. In this interview, Karl Josef Mayer discusses new opportunities in warp knitting, the processing of staple fibres, recycling, the changing role of machinery manufacturers, and why the textile industry must once again focus more strongly on the value of textiles. by Oliver Schmidt

“Innovation, resilience and international experience remain the great strengths of the Swiss textile machinery industry”

Geopolitical uncertainty, growing competitive pressure from China, new free trade agreements and the shift towards a circular economy are currently reshaping the global textile industry. In this interview, Cornelia Buchwalder discusses the current mood within the Swiss textile machinery sector, the industry’s distinctive innovative strength, new market opportunities in India and Asia, and the technological trends that could shape the upcoming trade fair cycle leading up to ITMA 2027.

Fluff pulp market maintains steady growth

Despite being impacted by political and economic woes, the global fluff pulp market in 2024 will reach 7.3 million air dried tonnes with a value of $9.7 billion, according to a new Smithers produced study, The Future of Fluff Pulp to 2029. This is up from 6.2 million air dried tonnes valued at $5.5 billion in 2019.

180 years of TESTEX: From Zurich silk testing to global certification

For 180 years, TESTEX has developed alongside the textile industry while maintaining the same underlying purpose: creating trust through independent and reliable measurement. Founded in Zurich in 1846 as the Zurich Silk Conditioning Institute, TESTEX has grown from a local institution serving the silk trade into an international Swiss testing and certification institute for textiles and leather.

Moving Advanced Recycling from Innovation to Implementation

The Advanced Recycling Conference 2026 explores technologies, markets, financing and scale-up of innovative recycling solutions for waste streams including mixed plastic waste, textiles and PVC. Europe’s chemical and materials sector faces growing pressure to close carbon loops, strengthen raw-material safety and resilience and meet increasingly ambitious EU recycling targets. Against this backdrop, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) will bring together industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators and policy-makers on 17–18 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

German textile industry and retailers form alliance to shape textile EPR system

Germany’s textile and fashion industry and retail sector have joined forces to establish the “Alliance for Textile Circularity” (Allianz für textile Kreisläufe).
