The global Silver-based Antimicrobial Agent market is projected to be US$ 1,080.9 Mn in 2018 to reach US$ 1,967.5 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 6.2%.

Antimicrobials agents are chemical compounds that kill microorganisms or inhibits their development. Silver, among its several useful properties, is recognised as a strong antimicrobial agent. It is considered biologically active when it is dispersed into its monoatomic ionic state (AG+), this is the same form which appears in ionic silver compounds, such as silver nitrate and silver sulfadiazine, which have been frequently used to treat wounds. Silver first received regulatory approval for use as an antimicrobial agent in the early 20th century. However, its usage diminished in the 1940s with the introduction of antibiotics. Nonetheless, silver-based antimicrobial agents gained immense popularity again, particularly for the management of open wounds, pharmaceuticals and other applications.

Silver-based antimicrobial agent products are extensively used in medical and clinical outcomes, which is a major factor driving the growth of the target market. Rising plastic and polymer industry is also positively impacting the growth of the silver-based antimicrobial agent market, as polymers are extremely versatile and when impregnated with silver nanoparticles to eliminate microorganisms, thereby further fueling the market growth. Various personal care products are silver based, which utilizes silver for its sanitizing effects. The diverse use of silver-based antimicrobial agents in personal care products such as shavers, toothbrushes and others is driving the growth of the market.

Global Silver-based Antimicrobial Agent Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018–2028

Volatile prices of raw material results in the high price of silver-based products as compared to other traditional antimicrobial agents might obstruct the growth of the silver-based antimicrobial agent market to a certain extent.
