What is antibacterial glass?
Antibacterial glass is a flat, thin reflective surface fortified with fungicidal and bactericidal properties. It can destroy microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses that come in contact with the surface, inhibiting their multiplication. It is produced by diffusing silver ions into the upper layers of the glass, which interact with microbes and disrupt their metabolic and division mechanisms. In addition, it is hygienic, easy to maintain, and offers high sterilization and self-cleaning properties under ultraviolet (UV) light. Nowadays, antibacterial glass is widely utilized in households, the food and beverages (F&B) sector, military equipment, and hospital wards across the globe. 

What are the growth prospects and trends in the antibacterial glass industry?
The market is primarily driven by the rising incidences of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). In addition, the growing awareness regarding the importance of maintaining sanitation and hygiene in healthcare facilities is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the antibacterial glass protects against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and helps prevent various life-threatening illnesses, such as pneumonia and infections in the bloodstream and urinary tract, which in turn is accelerating the product adoption rate. Moreover, the widespread product adoption in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to sanitize machines and equipment, reduce contamination from spoilage, and extend the shelf-life of food products represents another major growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the escalating demand for antibacterial coating, growing product use in the production of consumer electronics such as tablets, smartphones, and laptops, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market further.
