Antimicrobial Coatings Market size was worth more than USD 4 billion in 2022 and is expected to record an 8.5% CAGR from 2023-2032.
A surge in demand for medical coatings will positively influence the industry outlook. These coatings are gaining high acceptance across medical applications due to their ability to reduce microbial accumulation in biomedical materials. Antimicrobial powder coatings are extensively applied to hospital beds, handrails, wheelchairs, trolleys, and medical equipment to prevent contamination and transmission of infections. Due to their anti-corrosion, anti-galling, and anti-fretting properties, these coatings are suitable for applications on CT scanners, moulds, prosthetic limb joints, and bearings used in dentistry drills.
Growing concerns associated with the possibility of antibiotic resistance may impede the adoption of antimicrobial coatings. Constant and prolonged exposure to antimicrobial paints & coatings is considered to increase the risk of developing superbugs or bacterial strains that are resistant to antimicrobial agents. A dramatic growth in the use of antimicrobial agents has exacerbated these concerns among people.
