HealthTextiles, a prominent Swedish company in the healthcare sector based in Gävle, has recently been awarded the prestigious title ’Best Healthcare Fabrics Provider 2023’ by GHP Magazine.
The award, announced in September 2023, recognizes HealthTextiles for their outstanding contributions in the field of naturally antibacterial textiles and their dedication to women’s health and well-being.
”We are very pleased and proud of the award,” says Tomas Persson, founder and chairman of HealthTextiles. It feels like our innovation is now starting to make a real breakthrough in the industry. We are confident that our TorTex™ fabric will set a new standard in both healthcare and health. The fabric is unique and the first of its kind to be rigorously tested by world-leading testing institutes to ensure its natural antibacterial properties.”
To ensure objectivity in the selection process, candidates were carefully assessed based on factors such as company performance, product development, customer reviews, and industry awareness. Global Health & Pharma Magazine (GHP), based in the United Kingdom and reaching a global audience of 110,000 readers, initiated this award.
HealthTextiles works with its patented TorTex™ fabric, which is naturally antibacterial and retains its effectiveness even after hundred washes. The company has actively chosen to avoid controversial silver-based technologies and has instead adopted a responsible strategy to protect both people and the environment. This decision is based on reports from the Swedish Water Association (Svenskt Vatten), highlighting the risks associated with silver-based products concerning antibiotic resistance and environmental pollution.
In addition to celebrating its latest award, HealthTextiles is preparing for an exciting launch of menstrual underwear in TorTex material in collaboration with the customer Monthly of Sweden, a market leader in Sweden for menstrual cups under the brand MonthlyCup. The menstrual underwear, offering both comfort and long-lasting antibacterial protection, is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2024.
”For this venture, we are preparing for a significant funding round,” announces Tomas. ”We identify significant growth potential and aim for expansion in Sweden and internationally alongside our exclusive partner Monthly of Sweden AB in the rapidly growing market segment.”
Market statistics indicate a growing demand for sustainable reusable feminine hygiene products, and HealthTextiles has positioned itself well to meet this need together with Monthly of Sweden.
According to the Market.us statistics platform, the global fast-growing market for menstrual underwear is valued at 10 billion SEK million by 2033.
According to the market research firm Future Market Insight, the rapidly growing global reusable sanitary pads market is expected to increase from 35 billion SEK in 2023 to 103 billion SEK by the year 2033, driven by the increasing popularity of reusable sanitary pads as an alternative to disposable pads.
