Industries such as packaging and electronics and consumer appliances followed the healthcare industry. Implementation of stringent regulations to ensure better healthcare standards and hygiene will subsequently aid the future growth prospects of the antimicrobial plastics industry in the U.S. Additionally, demand arising from industries such as food and beverages, personal care and cosmetics, and packaging will augment the demand for antimicrobial plastics in the near future. In the U.S., antimicrobial plastics are governed by the EPA (Environment Protection Agency). The EPA identifies antimicrobial plastics as “treated articles”. Furthermore, they are also considered “pesticides” as per EPA regulations. There are many favorable regulations in the U.S. relating to the use of antimicrobial plastics in medical devices. The production of most of these medical devices also falls under the purview of the EPA, which boosts the use of antimicrobial plastics, thereby fuelling their demand from the U.S. market. However, it is important to note that antimicrobial plastics that are used in medical device manufacturing are regulated by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) and are classified as drugs.
