The global antimicrobial coatings market size is anticipated to reach USD 28.40 billion by 2030 and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing concern among consumers and various manufacturers about cleaning and prevention against the growing bacteria, mold, and fungi is expected to drive the overall market expansion. The demand is expected to increase majorly in the medical devices and packaging application industry owing to the rise in demand to tackle the COVID-19 situation around the world.

The continuously rising demand for the medical devices and packaging products used for COVID-19 will positively impact the market growth. North America is expected to dominate the global market, in terms of product demand as the region has major healthcare product manufacturers. Silver-based biocides are widely used in medical-grade applications owing to their excellent antimicrobial properties. Recently, a new U.S.-based, othiazolin-based biocide, n-butyl-1, 2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, is also used as an antimicrobial agent to prevent the spread of the germs. Moreover, the rising demand for implantable medical devices and the increasing burden of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) is expected to aid the overall market demand during the next eight years.

Detailed Segmentation:

Product Insights

Surface modifications and coatings product segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 53.6% in 2023. This high share is attributed to its ability to modify the surface of a material by bringing physical, chemical, or biological characteristics different from the ones originally found on the surface of a material. This modification is usually made to solid materials, but it is possible to find examples of the modification to the surface of specific liquids.

Application Insights

Medical devices application segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 39.6% in 2023. Its high share is attributable to the rising demand for antimicrobial coatings in catheters, implantable, and surgical instruments, as they are biocompatible, non-toxic, and biostable, which will promote industry development over the forecast period. The presence of key medical equipment players including GE Healthcare Technologies, Johnson & Johnson, Baxter International Inc., and Stryker Corp. is likely to boost the production of antimicrobial coated medical devices.

Regional Insights

North America region dominated the market with a revenue share of 44.7% in 2023. North America construction industry is expected to witness considerable growth owing to increasing demand for non-residential construction projects, such as hospitals, schools, and colleges, during the forecast period.
