Medical Device Coating Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2028

The global medical device coating market was expected to reach US$ 7,644.09 million in 2021 and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028.

Rising demand for coated medical devices intended for surgical and diagnostic procedures drives the medical device coating market growth. Further, rising product launches and product developments would provide lucrative opportunities for the global market during the forecast period.

Medical devices are required for various invasive and minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures including laparoscopy, biopsy, and endoscopy. Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy, a process of removing stones from the ureter, is performed using a laparoscope and catheters. The use of coated medical devices significantly reduces the time taken for cardiac and urinary catheterization. Coatings prevent infections during biopsy, excision, and cryotherapic diagnostic procedures where the contact between medical devices and body is integral. Besides, coated medical devices are significantly cost-effective. According to WHO, an estimated 2 million types of medical devices are categorized into more than 7,000 generic groups.

Disposable medical devices, such as cannulas, blades, anvils, triggers, diagnostic probes, and guide wires, need coatings for anti-infectious procedures and maneuverability improvement. The diagnosis and treatment of abdominal pain, kidney stones, varicose veins, and intestinal infections are increasing, demanding coated medical devices. As per the American Cancer Society, the number of carcinogenic cases is going to hit 27.5 million by 2040 leaping from the previous figure of 17.0 million in 2018. Such rising cases of diseases demanding medical devices for surgical procedures are propelling the growth of the medical device coating market.

The continuous research in medical device development offers new innovative coating varieties. Product innovation and strategic activities by key market players create ample opportunities to step in new application areas. A few product launches and developments in the market are as follows:

• In April 2022, BioInteractions, a UK-based biomaterial company, announced "TridAnt," a coating technology with active and passive components for creating a non-leaching, effective, safe, and durable antimicrobial coating for medical devices and implants.
• In January 2021, LipoCoat launched LipoCoat-enabled contact lenses to develop the first coated catheters in the global market.
• In July 2020, Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT) Pvt Ltd signed an agreement with the Italian government for a purchase entity with Consip spa-a society of Economy & Finance Ministry (CONSIP) delivering up to 40,000 biodegradable polymer-coated DES "Supraflex" stents.
• In August 2020, Hydromer partnered with N8 Medical to supply coatings to manufacture CeraShield endotracheal tubes. These tubes play a crucial role in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. This development exhibits the company's active involvement in the medical device coatings market.
• In February 2020, Biocoat launched HYDAK UV. The new version of its original HYDAK coating is designed to be cured using ultraviolet (UV) light. This coating allows for flexible integration with industry-standard UV coating systems.

Thus, the increasing medical device coating product launches and various organic and inorganic developments are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the medical device coating market growth during the forecast period.

The complications associated with medical device coatings and frequent product recalls limit the overall medical device coating market growth. Medical device coatings are susceptible to peeling, flaking, or shedding, which may be potentially fatal in surgical procedures. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), coating separation, which may include delamination or sloughing off or degradation, may adversely impact clinical performance and result in inflammation at the access site, pulmonary embolization, pulmonary infarct, myocardial embolization, myocardial infarct, embolic stroke, cerebral infarct, tissue necrosis, or death in worst scenarios. Furthermore, various studies published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2018, 2020, and 2022 revealed that it is common for the coating material to peel off from medical devices and travel through the bloodstream to areas where plastic particles can cause inflammation or block blood flow to critical organs.

As per FDA safety communication, ~500 medical device reports (MDRs) have listed cases of coatings that peeled, flaked, shed, delaminated, or sloughed off since 2014. Various manufacturers have had major recalls of medical devices due to coating delamination. Covidien (now part of Medtronic) issued a voluntary recall of 650 of its Pipeline embolization devices and Alligator retrieval devices after quality test revealed delamination. In 2019, the US FDA reported that Cook Medical recalled a needle used in heart surgery due to a potentially lethal manufacturing fault reported to be an error related to coatings. Such events highlighting the issues of dislodging and damaging vital organs due to coated devices are hampering the growth of the global medical device coating market.

Regional Overview

China is a well-developed country in Asia Pacific and has a well-established healthcare system. It is one of the leading producers of medical devices in the region. The country has an increasing burden of diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disorders, and orthopedic disorders owing to the presence of a large geriatric population. As per the Lancet Public Health Journal 2020, China has experienced ~4 million deaths due to cardiovascular disorders. Additionally, the medical device coating market growth is attributed to the presence of a large geriatric population prone to orthopedic conditions and joint replacement procedures, a surge in number of surgical procedures, an increase in healthcare expenditure, and rise in investments in the development of advanced coatings to avoid healthcare-associated infections and surgical site infections.

The healthcare industry in China is proliferating, which subsequently helps in the medical device coatings market growth. According to China’s National Coating Industry Association (NCIA), had proposed and drafted the medical device coating standards that people's health concern has increased significantly, due to which medical device coated products with antiviral and antibacterial properties has gained the popularity among the Chinese population. As a result, the demand for antiviral and antibacterial coatings is expected to increase in the coming years, which would promote the overall growth of the medical device coating market during the forecast period.
