Dublin, Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Growth Opportunities for Global Antimicrobial Technologies Enabled by COVID-19" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Antimicrobial technology has previously seen wide adoption in antimicrobial additives, coatings, and films in consumer health applications.
However, with the emergence of COVID-19, the demand for antimicrobial technology has driven innovations, such as graphene nanoparticles (NPs), photocatalytic additives, and antimicrobial polymer nanomaterials, in developing high-temperature resistance, non-toxic antimicrobial disinfectants, and long-lasting antimicrobial technology adoption in consumer health, building and construction, automotive, and consumer goods applications.
Antimicrobial technology materials include antimicrobial polymers; composites, metal-based antimicrobial agents; nanomaterials; natural-based antimicrobial agents; antimicrobial peptides (AMPs); and other materials, such as phenolics, amidines, and biguanides.
Due to their stable structure, metal ions and metal-oxide ions have found use in medical and food packaging applications. The use of ultra-thin two-dimensional materials like black phosphorus and graphene on antimicrobial surfaces has been a focus of technology development initiatives following the outbreak of COVID-19.
In addition to antimicrobial surfaces, implants, medical devices, food packaging, building and construction materials, and textiles have all experienced a spike in interest for antimicrobial coatings.
The need for active packaging that exhibits high antimicrobial features for food and personal care applications following COVID-19 has prompted industry stakeholders and researchers to continue pursuing their work with natural antimicrobials such as chitin-chitosan and peptides to develop biodegradable, safe, yet high-performance antimicrobial films.
The research will answer the following questions:
What factors will drive antimicrobial technology adoption post COVID-19?
What challenges and impediments restrain antimicrobial technology adoption?
What initiatives are industry participants undertaking to accelerate adoption across industries?
What previous challenges does antimicrobial technology adoption across applications address?
What growth potential exists for commercializing antimicrobial technologies across industries?

Barrington Research analyst James C.Goss reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares of IMAX Corp (NYSE: IMAX) with a price target of $20. As theatres have reopened and feature film releases have become more numerous, IMAX U.S. box office has generally performed closer to its 2019 benchmark than the broader domestic industry, noted the analyst. The blockbuster-heavy slate, consumer preference for a premium experience, and typical one or two-week runs on IMAX screens play into the performance.
Schlumberger saw its IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating rise to 96 Friday, up from 94 the day before.

The Reserve Bank of India will soon commence limited pilot launches of a central bank backed digital rupee for specific use cases, it said in a concept paper released on Friday. The RBI has been exploring the pros and cons of a central bank digital currency for some time and is working towards a strategy to implement it in a phased manner, it said. In February, the Indian government had said that a digital rupee will be launched during the course of this financial year.
(Reuters) -Bank of America agreed to pay bond insurer Ambac Financial Group $1.84 billion, the bank said in a filing Friday, bringing to a close the last of the lender's major lawsuits stemming from the 2008 mortgage crash.

Chinese EV stocks like Nio and Li Auto are getting crushed on Thursday. Here's how the charts look now.
California-based Rivian is recalling about 13,000 vehicles after it discovered that a fastener connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may not have been "sufficiently torqued" in some vehicles, a company spokesperson said in a statement. Electric vehicle maker has so far produced a total of 14,317 vehicles this year. Rivian notified the affected customers about the recall after it became aware of seven reports potentially related to the structural issue of torqued fastener, the company said.
The Beijing-based social-media giant saw its operating losses more than triple last year to above $7 billion as it spent heavily to continue its torrid growth.
