Top Driver: growing morbidity of bacterial infections on public healthcare system will drive the market

The zinc oxide market has over the recent years gathering marked momentum from growing morbidity of bacterial infections on public healthcare system. In several countries, outbreaks of pathogenic strains have bolstered the need for antibacterial ingredients, where zinc oxide is emerging as promising avenue. This is something to do with their higher activity against gram-positive bacteria than most nanoparticles. Growing effect of such bacteria on the food safety, particularly ready-to-eat segment, has fuelled product research in the zinc oxide market. Growing prospect of zinc oxide in antimicrobial packaging is also likely to expand the potential biomedical applications. Zinc oxide nanoparticles permeate the cell membrane of microorganisms and inhibit their growth in range of packaged food. They are particularly effective against E. coli, S. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginos. This stimulates the investment by food companies. Meanwhile, the zinc oxide market is also see new opportunities from the use of nanoparticles as multifunctional inorganic additives in improving the barrier characteristics of packaging made of bioplastics.
