Antimicrobial coatings contain active molecules that kill germs such as viruses, molds, bacteria, and fungi. Antimicrobial coatings are the most typically utilized on door handles, walls, counters, as well as other surfaces where humans come into contact with them on a regular basis. Coatings enhance the worth and effectiveness of the coated product by decreasing contamination, staining, and odor resulting from bacterial development. These coatings are frequently employed in food and beverage businesses, hospitals and clinics, pharmaceutical industrial units, and construction sites.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market Report Coverage

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) fuel the growth of global antimicrobial coatings market

In recent years, healthcare-associated infection has been the most common adverse event in both developed and developing countries. According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, 7% of developed-country patients and 10% of developing-country patients were infected with at least one healthcare-associated infection during treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1.7 million hospitalized patients annually acquire HCAIs while being treated for other health issues, and more than 98,000 of those patients (one in 17) die each year. Thus, the growing awareness program and active participation of hospitals to reduce healthcare-associated infections by using antimicrobial coatings are expected to drive growth in the global antimicrobial coatings market.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market Trend

Major factors expected to drive the growth of the antimicrobial coatings market during the forecast period include increasing demand for HVAC systems, the medical and healthcare sector leading market growth during and after the CoVid-19 pandemic, and an increase in demand from the food and beverage industry. Furthermore, the vastly integrated supply chain, the increase in construction and renovation activities, and the rise in living standards are a few of the factors expected to drive the growth of the antimicrobial coatings market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the easy availability of loans, the rise in parental concerns, and the growing need for safe environments are some of the other factors expected to support the growth of the antimicrobial coatings market.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Antimicrobial Coatings Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has focused the world's attention on contamination spread facilitated by high-touch surfaces. In response, surfaces and coatings capable of minimizing the presence of active viral pathogens are being investigated for use in a variety of settings, including healthcare centers, long-term care facilities, public transportation, schools, and various businesses, in order to reduce human exposure and mitigate the spread of infectious pathogens. Increasing government and private investment to combat COVID-19 transmission are likely to encourage the use of antimicrobial coatings. The market is expected to expand as governments and private sectors increase spending to reduce the risk of surface contact propagation. Furthermore, increased spending on hospital facility renovations to reduce the prevalence of virus outbreaks and infections is expected to boost the market.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market Segmentation     

The worldwide antimicrobial coatings market segmentation is based on the product, application, and geography.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market By Product

• Antimicrobial Powder Coatings
  • Copper
  • Silver
  • Others
• Surface Modifications & Coatings
  • Pseudomonas
  • E. Coli
  • Listeria
  • Others

According to the antimicrobial coatings industry analysis, the surface modifications and coatings product segment is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. This high share is attributed to the product's ability to modify the surface of a material by introducing physical, chemical, or biological characteristics that differ from those found on the material's original surface.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market By Application

• Sanitary Facilities & Kitchen
• Food Processing & Packaging
• Air Conditioning & Ventilation Systems
• Mold Remediation
• Antimicrobial Textiles
• Medical Devices
• Construction
• Others

According to the antimicrobial coatings market forecast, the medical device segment will hold the lion's share of the market during the forecast period. One of the major industries that make extensive use of smart antimicrobial coatings is healthcare. These coatings are mostly used on surgical instruments because they help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria among patients, doctors, and caregivers. AMCs contain active ingredients that prevent microorganisms from growing on a surface. This aids in the formation of a toxic or non-toxic barrier for harmful microorganisms. Anti-microbial coatings are also used in the healthcare industry for surgical masks, gloves, bandages, wound dressing, and hospital textiles (woven and non-woven), among other things.
