The development of China's antibacterial materials industry began in the 1980s and was born in the late 1990s. At present, the annual output of China's antibacterial products exceeds 100 billion yuan. From the technical development to the initial industrial scale, the antibacterial industry has entered the international advanced ranks for more than 10 years.

In 1998, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the relevant antibacterial research and testing direction merged into the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and the Haier Group's home appliance manufacturing capabilities joined forces to bring antibacterial appliances to the market for the first time, achieving unprecedented success and driving The development boom of antibacterial products in China. In 1999, the Physicochemical Institute's Antibacterial Materials Testing Center was established. In 2003, it became the first unit to pass the CNAS and CMA double-certification after joining the WTO in China. It launched antibacterial research, external technical support and third-party testing of products to promote the antibacterial industry. In 2006, China's antibacterial industry has developed into an emerging industry with an annual output value of more than 60 billion yuan.
In November 2001, the National Health Industry Enterprise Management Association Antibacterial Branch was established under the organization of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the first China Antibacterial Industry Conference was held in Beijing with the theme of “Health Industry and Antibacterial Technology”. This is the first event of the Chinese antibacterial industry. . The conference was chaired by the academician of the two academies and the famous material science expert Mr. Chang Changxu.
Judging from the development of the upstream antibacterial materials, at present, dozens of unique antibacterial material manufacturers have formed their own situation and their respective advantages.

The broad market prospects of antibacterial materials have also attracted many giants to join. For example, Sinopec is involved in the field of antibacterial plastics. The steel industry giants Baosteel Group and Taigang Group have intervened and developed stainless steel with antibacterial function, and have successfully applied to the kitchen and other industries.
Haier Group, Midea Group, Gree Group, Galanz Group, Hisense Group, TCL Group, Japan Matsushita Co., Korea Samsung, and Whirlpool Corporation of the home appliance industry have launched their own antibacterial home appliances. Many giants in the textile industry have also launched their own antibacterial textiles in due course.
In the field of building materials, many companies have also launched their own antibacterial building materials / bathroom products.
In addition, in the building materials/textile field, in addition to meeting the antibacterial standards, building materials in public places must meet the requirements of GB8624 -2012 "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products". In this respect, Hangzhou Xiangyu Flame Retardant Technology Co., Ltd. developed flame retardant antibacterial medical curtains, flame retardant antibacterial mildew duct fabrics, flame retardant antibacterial wall coverings, etc., which not only meet the requirements of national standard for flame retardant performance, but also antibacterial properties. Very good and worthy of attention.
