The global antimicrobial coatings market size reached US$ 5.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 11.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9% during 2024-2032. The increasing awareness about the sick building syndrome, the development of eco-friendly and sustainable antimicrobial coatings and the introduction of nanotechnology represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Antimicrobial coatings assist in maintaining the quality of a surface by obstructing the growth of microorganisms, including fungi, parasites and bacteria. The usage of these coatings provides improved cleanliness and hygiene as they eliminate the requirement of frequent cleaning. Antimicrobial coatings are generally applied on walls, vents, counters and door handles. They work by using various active agents, such as silver, copper, zinc, and other metal ions and prevent the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Some antimicrobial coatings also use quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and chlorine to kill or neutralize microbes on contact. Moreover, antimicrobial coatings help in sterilizing medical tools, surgical masks, gloves and clothing, they find vast applications in clinics, hospitals and healthcare centers. Besides this, they are also employed in industries, such as textile, automotive, healthcare, construction, and food and beverage. As a result, they are more cost-effective and offer lasting protection against pathogens due to which they are gaining traction across the globe.
The application of antimicrobial coatings not only improves the durability and appearance of a surface but also aids in shielding the surface from the attack of microbes. As a result, these coatings are widely used to eliminate the germination of pathogens that can cause infectious diseases, such as Ebola, influenza, mumps, measles, chickenpox and rubella. Apart from this, the increasing awareness about the sick building syndrome, wherein the occupants of a building experience acute health issues due to deteriorating air quality, is increasing worldwide. This has led to a rise in the demand for antimicrobial coatings for use in building interiors. In addition to this, manufacturers are investing in research and development activities to develop innovative products, sustain their market position and expand their overall consumer base. The market is further driven by the development of eco-friendly and sustainable antimicrobial coatings. Many manufacturers are developing coatings that are biodegradable and do not release harmful chemicals into the environment, which is gaining widespread prominence across the globe. Apart from this, the augmenting use of nanotechnology in antimicrobial coatings is also creating a positive market outlook as nanoparticles are being used to create coatings with superior antimicrobial properties that are more durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the rising demand for antimicrobial coatings in the food and beverage industry in order to prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms on food processing equipment and packaging materials is acting as a growth-inducing factor. The market is further driven by continual advancements in nanotechnology and other manufacturing processes that have made it possible to produce highly effective antimicrobial coatings at lower costs, which has made these coatings more accessible to a wider range of industries and applications. Other factors, including rapid industrialization and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are also positively influencing the market.
