Antimicrobial Coatings for Medical Devices Market Report | 2022-2028

[Research Report] The antimicrobial coatings for medical devices market size was projected to grow from US$ 1,594.50 million in 2021 to US$ 3,851.96 million by 2028; it is further estimated to record a CAGR of 13.5% from 2022–2028.

Analyst Perspective:

The rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections and the growing need for developing antimicrobial coatings on medical devices are the key factors driving the growth of antimicrobial coatings for the medical devices market. Also, healthcare providers strive to improve patient care and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, market players offer a wide range of antimicrobial-coated medical devices that are biocompatible, biostable, non-toxic, and FDA-compliant. For instance, Microban International, Ltd. has one of the largest portfolios of antimicrobial technologies that are effective against harmful strains of bacteria. Such innovative formulations are applied on various medical product surfaces to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and help reduce the number of HAIs. Thus, the above-mentioned factors contribute to the growth of antimicrobial coatings for the medical devices market

Market Overview:

Bacterial adhesion and its deposition on medical devices like implants, ventilators, catheters, and others pose a major challenge to the biomedical industry. Excessive bacterial deposition onto these surfaces often leads to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, leading to healthcare-associated infections. Further, it also leads to medical device failure, which causes huge financial losses. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a risk to patients, especially in immunocompromised individuals. In many cases, HAIs are caused due to in-dwelling medical devices, such as catheters, implants, and intubation equipment. Thus, several market players have developed antimicrobial coatings effective against various pathogens. For instance, Norway-based Amicoat developed a peptide-based antimicrobial coating (AMC) that is active against a wide range of bacteria.

Market Driver:

Increasing Use and Demand of Medical Implants

With the rising number of medical procedures and growing demand for advanced medical devices, the threat of high-risk infections from MRSA, Clostridium difficile, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is also rising. Implant-associated Infections (IAIs) due to medical implants have led to high deaths and medical costs. For instance, as per the study "Implant-Associated Infections: A Review of the Safety of Cardiac Implants," published in 2020,  over 30% of patients with left ventricular assist devices developed implant-associated Infections. The most common isolated bacteria were S. aureus (45.4%), and the least were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CONS) (5.2%).

Moreover, the rising number of medical implant procedures complements the infection rates. For instance, as per the Center Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Care & Research, by 2030, the total number of knee replacement surgeries is projected to grow to 3.5 million. And nearly 1/2 of American adults will develop knee osteoarthritis in at least one knee in their lifetime.
