Antimicrobial coatings are used to inhibit the effect of microorganisms on human body and other surfaces. These coatings inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, fungi and germs. Increasing health concerns over the past few years resulted in increasing antimicrobial coatings demand. Growing demand in healthcare and medical sector is the key factor expected to boost antimicrobial coatings demand over the next five years. In addition, increasing consumer disposable income resulted high spending on healthy living. This is expected to have positive impact on the market growth over the forecast period.
Increasing demand from other end-use industries such as textiles, foods & beverages, building and construction is anticipated boost antimicrobial coatings demand in near future. Huge untapped potential market in emerging regions of Asia Pacific and Latin America is anticipated to open new opportunities for industry participants in near future. Antimicrobial coatings are extensively used in indoor air quality and HVAC. Increasing demand for these end-use application segments is likely to push antimicrobial coatings demand over the foreseeable period. However, use of silver in antimicrobial coatings is expected to hamper the market growth in US and Europe on account of stringent regulations from EPA and EU commission.
