Mother & Child care products’ market on an upswing
and growing at a CAGR of 15-20 per cent year-on-year.
The market size for baby products in India is about Rs
15-25 billion, out of which, the estimated online
market for baby product hovers around Rs 100-120
crore and experts opine that it tends to double every 6
to 8 months.
With India being home to about 50 million babies in the
0-2 years age group and 304.8 million children in the
0-12 years age group, the country offers immense
opportunities in this segment.
India has the biggest number of world’s population
under the age group of 35 years, which mean many
babies are on their way.
KPMG estimates the size of the kids' wear market in
India at Rs 28,000-30,000 crore, and expects it to
reach Rs 43,000 crore by 2016 and Rs 72,000 crore by
2021.

Currently the middle class is growing very rapidly.
The spending power of the people is increasing.
The education in India in terms of number is

increasing. Today, more and more people are educated
compared to 20 years back. That is what makes the
consumer advance and quality conscious.

But at the same time there has been subsequent back

wave in Mother and children care clothing's like Gini &
Jony shelved its IPO or Lilliput shutting down
international operations. Etc

The reason for their fall out was these companies

could not build brand recall, especially as their
products did not stand apart from the offerings in the
larger unorganised market.

 This is where we come in picture. At the moment,

there is no other brand available in the market that
offers anti-microbial baby and mother care clothing's.

Zydex®

*
From view point Health and Hygiene
Precaution is better than cure.
Skin is most sensitive part of child and Mom.Clothes
protect skin only against wear.

Anti-bacterial treated clothes will have protect dually
i.e. against wear and also against germs.

This is necessary for Mom’s during and after

pregnancy stage as their bodies are weak and most
viable for attack of germs.

Same is for babies i.e

new babies are very
susceptible to germs since their immune systems
haven't had time to develop.

Also the new born babies discharge urine/ fecal in
night. It might be possible that there is delay in
changing clothes leading to transfer of germs to
clothes and body.

Zydex®

* Mom and children wear Market : Need for
Innovative differentiation.






Market crowded with lot of foreign and local brands.
Functional finish helps to create top of the mind awareness
about the brand and premium positioning among the
competitor brands.
Functional finish helps the brand to stand out in terms of
performance with specific USP.



Gives the much needed product differentiation from local market cost
effective structure.



Advancements in antimicrobial technology such as ZYCROBIAL
is providing clothing brands to offer different ranges of
antimicrobial clothes to protect Mom & Child.

*
Most new moms and dads are paranoid about germs as

new babies are very susceptible to germs since their
immune systems are still to develop.
During washing : Since family members' clothes -especially underwear -- may contain contaminants that
could wind up on your baby's sensitive skin.
New clothing that will have contact with infant's skin
should be antimicrobial as it may have been touched by
many people prior to purchase.
Babies crawling will have very high bacteria
concentration bottoms and gloves.
Viral and bacterial infections are common and, as a
new mum, you may find yourself getting sick with one.
Besides being unwell, you now have the added worry of
protecting your baby from your infection. Read on to
find some useful ways to protect your baby.

Perspiration and damp environment in extreme
conditions.

*
Clothes of children's are exposed to germs most
whether on playground or in toilets etc.

The immune system is yet developing.
Hence antimicrobial clothes would provide an
additional security against germs to children.

As children are continuously on the move they

sweat a lot hence are highly prone to germs
attack. Antimicrobial clothes would surely keep
them odor and germs free all day.

Types of socks

Why antimicrobial finish required

Baby clothes

Babies are normally exposed to lot of germs during their daily routine
The conditions fungi / germs like best are warm, moist and airless
areas of skin, such as between the toes. Zycrobial prevents
formation of germs in key areas and help to keep Mom and child free
from germs.

Women's
clothes

The body of women is more sensitive than Men and require a special
care. Other than sweat during every day chores where water is a
chief component , it is necessary to protect their body from germs.
Anti microbial treated socks will a shield against all the possible
infections.

Baby socks and
gloves

Babies are not having fully developed immune system an this leads
them to be more prone to attack from Microbes . They place foot
and hand every where w/o much thinking, so they are exposed to a
lot of microbes. In Winter season when the climate is dry and socks
are primary components of baby wear , the dry skin is more prone to
microbial attack, where anti microbial socks offer best protection

Kid’s clothes.

Kids play w/o much thinking, whether it is muddy ground or pool of water
on road. To protect them from microbes it is most essential to treat it with
antimicrobial treatment.

• Leaching

type of antimicrobials chemically react with the microorganism
acting as a poison.

Triclosan
PHMB
Nano silver compounds

Silane Quat

Zydex®

ANTIMICROBIAL:
LEACHING TYPE

TRICLOSAN
• Inhibits growth by chemical action to penetrate & disrupt cell walls
indiscriminately in the environment. This leads to leakage of metabolites
and disable cell function including reproduction .
• Used in personal care products (Dettol), soap, toothpaste and deodorants.
• Used for over 25 Years.
• Lasts only one to two washes. Needs repetitive applications.
• High recurring cost per wash cycle.
• Environmental problems – Generate very toxic Dioxin

Zydex®

ANTIMICROBIAL: LEACHING TYPE

PHMB - BIGUANIDE


Binds microorganism to their cell membranes
and disrupts the lipopolysaccharides
structures resulting in cell breakdown .



Used in swimming pools, cosmetics, contact lens solutions and natural
textiles. Less effective on Gram Positive Bacteria.



Possible Carcinogen.

NANO SILVER COMPOUNDS


Nano silver compounds are popular and widely used.



Metal ions inhibits metabolism of the active enzyme centers.



Used in food handling materials, medical devices, wound care products,
industrial materials, textiles etc.



Needs to be incorporated during fabric making and expensive.

Zydex®

ANTIMICROBIAL : NON LEACHING TYPE

SILANE QUAT





Non-leachable & non-consumable (99.5%)
Absorbs & forms a polymer network in fiber matrix.
Bacterial cell membrane get ruptured when microbes come in contact
with the treated surface.



Quaternary ammonium structure provides antimicrobial activities effective
on almost all microbes and fungi.



Used in natural & synthetic fibers, internal hospital walls and garments.

SURFACE BONDING MECHANISM
Zycrobial molecules get attached to the
fiber surface by strong chemical interaction
and Self condensation polymerization to
form interpenetrating network.

SELF CONDENSATION
Self Condensation of Silanol groups lead to
formation of a 3D network around the surface
which will not leach during washing & cleaning.

When a microbe comes in contact with the treated surface it is

and the cell cover is physically ruptured by a knife-like action.

Zycrobial

* Zycrobial treated fabric also eliminates the bad odor and maintains the
freshness of the substrate for a long span of time.

* Zycrobial, being based on non-leaching chemistry, drastically reduces the
bacterial growth and ensures effective antimicrobial & antiodour effect
on the textile substrates even after several washes and increases the life
span of textile substrates.

* Being a solvent free product, it is non-hazardous and eco friendly in
nature which eliminates the side effects on user & environment.

* It is also eco-friendly compared to Nano-silver based technology.
* Though research is inconclusive, scientists have found evidence that

Nano silver, once in the environment — most commonly in wastewater
effluent — can potentially bio accumulate in organisms such as
earthworms, insects and fish. Studies also suggest that nanoparticles in
soil can harm plants.

*
* Zycrobial treated clothes would prevent the filthy smell
on usage of clothes by retarding the growth of microbe.

* Also the greater exposure to

hot and humid climatic
conditons in India which tend to cause higher
‘perspiration wetness’ because of poor moisture
transport properties..

* Moreover, the current issues of skin disorders/infections
due to lack of hygiene has lead to huge opportunities
for anti-microbial and anti-odour finishing agents such
as ZYCROBIAL.
