The introduction of enhanced safety additives in wet area mats will drive the growth prospects for the market from 2017 to 2021. The addition of anti-microbial additives prevents the growth of mold, fungi, bacteria, and odor-causing germs on wet area mats.

The use of anti-microbial products in wet area mats aids in the prevention of such infections.
