Antimicrobial Coating Market Drivers and Opportunities

Wide Application Scope to Favor Market

For building and construction purpose, the antimicrobial coatings are used to cover the walls and surfaces of manufacturing capabilities, factories, and stations to keep them away from the propagation of microbes. Moreover, these coatings find applications in residential and commercial facilities, indoor handles, flooring and roofing systems, workstations, and other such places. In food & beverage industry, the antimicrobial edible films and coatings protect foodstuff against spoilage and help minimize the risk of pathogen propagation on the food surface. Additionally, these coatings are used to wrap fish and meat products as well as fruits and vegetables.

Rising Instances of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) – An Opportunity in Antimicrobial Coating Market

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) or nosocomial infections are the infections associated with the equipment and devices, such as catheters or ventilators, used during medical procedures. Over the period, there has been a rising prevalence of HCAI diseases, which has become a serious concern among various economies. For instance, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has been estimated that almost 2 million patients in the US suffer from HCAI annually, out of which ~98,000 people die. Therefore, in 2016, AMiCI, an association representing universities and institutes along with organizations and manufacturers, was formed in Europe to increase awareness among people and organizations about the research and application of antimicrobial coatings. Antimicrobial coatings are the layers applied on medical equipment that are exposed to sensitive bodily fluids such as blood and urine. The rising focus on the impact of HCAI through several programs along with the active participation of hospitals and manufacturers to generate the significance of the antimicrobial coatings is expected to stimulate the growth of the market.
