Cold Plasma Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global cold plasma market is estimated to be worth USD 6.35 billion by 2028 from USD 2.97 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 16.36% during the forecast period.

Cold plasma is a type in which non-thermal equilibrium does not exist between the energies of gas molecules and electrons. Cold plasma is also known as non-thermal plasma and is used in various applications in various industries like medical, food, and biomedical industries. It is because of the low frequency of collisions between them. The gas molecules will be around room temperature, whereas electrons have high temperatures due to high energy.

The National Centre for Biotechnology Information Research stated that a patient suffering from two severe-degree burns was cured with cold plasma, which healed the itching and pain and produced a new tissue. Such cases help promote the usage of cold plasma in various treatments, not only in the medical industry, but it is also a powerful tool used to provide antimicrobial treatment for foodstuffs and food packaging materials.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Various applications of cold plasma technology are majorly accelerating the global cold plasma market growth.

Factors such as growing demand for cold plasma for the food packaging industry and ongoing innovations of cold plasma technology in R & D drive global cold plasma market growth. Increasing requirements for frozen foods and the growing aging population suffering from diabetes, leading to chronic wounds like foot ulcers, further accelerate global cold plasma market growth. Furthermore, cold plasma benefits, such as improving wettability, low chemical consumption, and low water consumption, aid cold plasma market growth. The use of cold plasma in medical treatment and reducing Infections further fuel the growth rate of the cold plasma market. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The global cold plasma market is majorly restricted by factors such as the high capital required for implementing these technologies, such as vacuum equipment, low temperatures, and controlled vacuum conditions for operation. Additionally, the shortage of expert professionals, strict government rules and regulations for the launch of new technologies and products, and the FDA's approvals also hamper the market. Currently, only a few companies are operating in the cold plasma market, and as a result, this technology has had less commercialization in the last decade. The applications of cold plasma have been known in a few sectors. However, cold plasma-related applications are not easily available to the market at an affordable cost. A lack of awareness of cold plasma and high investment are the challenges of this technology. This poses a major challenge to the growth of the market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cold plasma market:

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that ruined many lives in unprecedented ways. It mainly affects the respiratory system, where people suffering from chronic illness may have severe symptoms. In a few cases, it may also lead to death. This pandemic is an increasing burden for the healthcare sector. Therefore, there is an urgent need for virus inactivation. Cold plasma plays a vital role in the inactivation of the virus. In the Research and development activities, these techniques are very helpful in developing an effective vaccine. Hence, the market size has been growing higher rate since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, protective clothing and hygienic textiles are in short supply. Treatment with cold plasma can use clothing. It helps in the hydrophilization process in the textile industry for gloves, PPE kits, and masks to reduce microorganisms. For Instance, Plasmatreat, one of the leading companies in the cold plasma market space, has developed a cleaning station that provides solutions for disinfecting protective clothing.
