The market is advancing with innovative sustainable techniques that enhance Textile production and address food safety concerns within the food processing sector. This technology, crucial in the medicinal sector and bioengineering sector, is proving beneficial for traumatic wounds and surgical wounds. Cold plasma systems use electricity and carrier gas to target bacteria and viruses, making them valuable in the life sciences domain. Companies like Relyon Plasma and Adtec Healthcare are leading the way in integrating these systems. Despite the high capital investments required, the benefits of cold plasma in cancer treatment and other healthcare applications underscore its growing importance. The evolving regulatory climate also plays a critical role in shaping its adoption and use.
The increasing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable technologies is notably driving market growth. Industries such as food, healthcare, and textiles are looking for alternatives to traditional chemical-based processes. One such alternative is cold plasma technology, which is non-toxic, does not produce any harmful byproducts, and uses very few chemicals. The treatment may replace traditional chemical procedures such as scouring and bleaching in the textile sector. It can also be used in the food industry to remove chemical residues from food products, replace chemical disinfectants, and decontaminate surfaces. In the healthcare industry, sterilization techniques are being researched.
Factors such as consumer awareness, corporate sustainability initiatives, and governmental pressure contribute to the demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions. This technology aligns with sustainability goals, which is leading to the expansion of the global market. Hence, increasing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable technologies will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increasing demand for miniaturization and portability of cold plasma equipment is a key trend in the market. The trend of creating small, portable equipment is increasing in the market. This technology should be flexible and convenient for a variety of settings and applications, such as decontamination and surface sterilization and enhanced surface activation, adherence throughout manufacturing operations, and tissue regeneration and wound healing in medical settings.
Compact and portable devices are suitable for labs, clinics, field applications, and homes, as they can be easily integrated into existing systems or equipment. For instance, portable devices are being created for use in wound healing. Such developments will create new opportunities for extending the application of this technology and make it available in various settings and industries such as electronics and textile, which, in turn, will promote market expansion during the forecast period.
High initial setup and operating costs are challenging market growth. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) may find it challenging to use this technology due to the high associated costs. These systems can involve significant upfront expenditures and ongoing operational expenses, including equipment, installation, training, and maintenance.
SMEs have fewer financial resources than larger businesses, which makes it challenging for them to invest in this equipment. This makes it difficult for SMEs to use cold plasma in certain sectors. For example, SMEs in the manufacturing industry may find it difficult to incorporate these systems into their production processes due to the large upfront expenditures, which may affect their ability to compete in the market. Such factors are expected to negatively impact the market growth during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the polymer and plastic industry segment will be significant during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to factors such as increased coating and plastic adhesion, improved surface activation and cleaning, efficient elimination of impurities and pollutants, modification of surface quality, and lower environmental impact.
The polymer and plastic industry segment was valued at USD 454 million in 2018. This technology is used in the polymer and plastics sector owing to its properties such as surface activation, coating deposition, and alteration of polymer characteristics. This treatment increases polymer adhesion qualities, which leads to more effective bonding and coating procedures. It also improves product quality by enabling effective cleaning and contamination removal from plastic surfaces. In addition, this therapy helps the environment by eliminating the need for chemical cleaners and encouraging environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. companies such as Plasmatreat, Europlasma, and Nordson offer products for the polymer and plastic industries. These factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
