Market dynamics

Drivers in the Anti-Microbial coating market

In the recent past, Anti-Microbial coating has gained so much attention in the medical and healthcare sectors. This is mainly due to rising concern about different infections and coronavirus. The government is also taking initiatives to prevent the spread of various infections. In the healthcare sector, the leading cause of morality is HAIs. According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, around 1.7 million patients in the United States are infected by HAIs, and 100,000 patients die from the infections. The spread of HAIs is directly or indirectly related to medical devices. They occur during the treatment procedures.

The medical devices are the playground for the bacteria, and it is nearly impossible for them to clean with the help of antibiotics. Due to that, several medicals devices are not Anti-Microbial coated. The Anti-Microbial coating can prevent the spread of infection of the bacteria. As a result, it is highly used in the medicals, and it is driving the Anti-Microbial coating market. Apart from that, Anti-Microbial coating is used in paint, polymers to stop the prevention of harmful bacteria. So, the wide range of applications of Anti-Microbial coating will boost the Anti-Microbial coating market growth.

Opportunities in the Anti-Microbial coating market

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the Anti-Microbial coating market is witnessing huge demand. The Anti-Microbial coating is used in several applications such as consumer goods, clothing, electronic products, paint, and many more. Due to this, many companies have started producing Anti-Microbial coating products for daily uses. The Indian Institute of technology has developed an Anti-Microbial coating spray to kill bacteria in personal protective equipment. With the growing awareness for hygiene around the world, the demand for Anti-Microbial coating has increased, and it has created many opportunities for the Anti-Microbial coating market.

Restraints in the Anti-Microbial coating market

One of the major restraints in the Anti-Microbial coating market is the cost of Anti-Microbial coating compared to other coating products. The low per capita income and low purchasing power of people in undeveloped countries is a big restraint for the Anti-Microbial coating market.
