Market Overview

The anti-microbial coatings market was valued at over USD 3 billion in 2020, and the market is projected to register a CAGR of over 10% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The market was positively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Owing to the pandemic scenario, the usage of anti-microbial coatings in medical products and devices, including surgical masks, gloves, wound dressings, hospital textiles, and surgical devices, has been significantly increasing to curb the growth of new COVID-19 cases. According to Wall Street Journal, the total production volume of N95 masks in the United States was about 45 million in January 2020 and reached about 180 million till the end of 2020, witnessing an exponential growth of about 300%, which, in turn, has stimulated the demand in the anti-microbial coatings market.

  • Over the short term, increasing adoption of anti-microbial coatings in medical devices, gloves, face masks, and other healthcare industry equipment and products is expected to drive the market's growth.
  • Silver coatings dominated the global market and are expected to grow during the forecast period, owing to the growing application of anti-microbial coatings, especially in the medical industry.
  • On the flip side, lack of technological awareness regarding anti-microbial coatings in developing and under-developed nations and volatility in raw material prices are expected to hinder the growth of the studied market.
  • North America dominated the market across the world, with the largest consumption from the countries, such as the United States and Canada.

Scope of the Report

The anti-microbial coating is used to stop the growth of microbes. There are two types of anti-microbial coatings, including active and passive anti-microbial coatings. Active anti-microbial coatings release antibacterial agents, including bioactive molecules and antibiotics, and passive anti-microbial coatings resist bacterial attachment by killing the bacteria after the contact. They find its major application in the healthcare industry for surface coating of medical devices and equipment. The anti-microbial coatings market is segmented by material, application, and geography. By material, the market is segmented into silver, copper, polymeric, organic, and other materials. By application, the market is segmented into building and construction, food processing, textiles, home appliances, healthcare, marine, and other applications. The report also covers the market size of and forecasts for the anti-microbial coatings market in 15 countries across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of revenue (USD million).

Key Market Trends

Healthcare Segment to Dominate the Market

  • Healthcare is one of the major industries with maximum usage of smart anti-microbial coatings. These coatings are used majorly on surgical devices as they help in inhibiting the spread of germs and bacteria among patients, doctors, and caretakers. AMCs contain active ingredients that inhibit microorganisms’ ability to grow on a surface. This helps to form a toxic or non-toxic barrier for detrimental microorganisms.
  • Anti-microbial coatings are being customized to form a toxic or non-toxic barrier for detrimental microorganisms. This increases the widespread adoption of anti-microbial agents in medical applications. Moreover, the triggering mechanism in anti-microbial coatings can be exploited to develop efficient drug-delivery systems to turn on specific functionality.
  • In the healthcare industry, anti-microbial coatings are also used for surgical masks, gloves, bandages, wound dressing, and hospital textiles (woven and non-woven), among others. Among the previously mentioned applications, medical materials have a maximum usage of anti-microbial coatings.
  • The regions, such as North America and Europe, hold the largest market demand for anti-microbial coatings for healthcare applications. These regions incur huge research and development investments and make continuous efforts to develop advanced medical devices and equipment.
  • The United States has the largest share in the global healthcare market, and the rapid growth of the medical industry in the nation is expected to augment the demand for anti-microbial coatings.
  • The European healthcare industry was valued at about USD 102 billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach about USD 119 billion by 2024, with a CAGR of about 3%, which is likely to enhance the demand in the anti-microbial coatings market.
  • Furthermore, the Indian health care market was valued at about USD 280 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach about USD 372 billion by 2022, with a CAGR of about 6%, which, in turn, is likely to stimulate the demand for the market studied over the projected timespan.
  • Owing to the pandemic condition, there has been a rising focus on developing new measures to contain the spread of the pandemic. Several companies were using anti-microbial coatings in medical masks and gloves to curb the growth of new COVID-19 cases. As of February 2020, the daily production volume of medical face masks, including surgical and N95, was 14,806 in China and reached about 450,000 numbers as of April 2020, with a huge growth rate in daily production volume enhancing the demand for the anti-microbial coatings market.
  • Therefore, the aforementioned factors are expected to show a significant impact on the market in the coming years.
