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 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.

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.
Material Type Based Insights
Based on material type, the medical device coating market is segmented into polymer, metal, and others. The polymer segment is estimated to hold the largest market share and register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2028. Medical devices are made of various biocompatible materials to prevent complications caused due to the material. These devices are further coated with different materials to avoid side effects, which enhances the overall recovery process of the patient. Polymer is one of the highly used biocompatible materials for different coating, which improves the overall efficiency of the medical devices. Polymers exhibit good biocompatibility and enables the drug delivery process that can modify and can be dissolved in the body over time. For instances, Polyelectrolyte multilayers is one of the highly used polymers in medical devices coatings owing to its biocompatible nature with wide applications, which provide numerous possibilities to create various surface coatings. These layers can also be modified as drug releasing coating with balanced pH and many more. Silicon, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, and polypropylene are a few types of polymer coatings available in the market. Thus, the aforementioned factors are likely to boost the medical device coating market growth for the polymer segment from 2022 to 2028.
