Ankita Roy, Treesha Banerjee and Liza D’souza from Global Market Estimates throw the
spotlight on the growing Medical Coatings Market.
Medical Coatings Market Insights
The medical coatings market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
One of the major factors driving the market growth is the awareness among people about minimally
invasive surgery and healthcare-acquired infection. Increase in the elderly population and increasing
awareness about healthcare coupled with per capita healthcare expenditure and various
government initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare infrastructure across all the emerging
economies are some of the other factors boosting the growth of the market.
Medical devices, components, and electronics require protection in order to be effective and safe.
Bodily fluids, contamination, electrical charges, and moisture can make the life-saving device
ineffective and useless. Medical coatings should be ideal and sterilized for glass, plastics, metals,
ceramics and silicone rubber in order to make them effective.
The global market for medical coatings is driven by advancement and inclination towards minimally
invasive procedures, the surge in disposable incomes of the population across the globe, increased
demand for implantable devices and rise in awareness among people about HAI (hospital-acquired
infections).
Medical Coatings Market: By Type
The medical coatings market can be divided based on the type into two segments namely,
Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Coating. In terms of value and volume, it is expected that hydrophilic
coatings market will grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. One of the factors contributing
to this growth is high lubrication, which in turn increases the usage of hydrophilic coating in medical
devices such as cardiac pacemakers and others. Other factors driving the demand for hydrophilic

coatings are its ability to withstand various maintenance procedures such as sterilization, storage,
and cleaning.
There are various other types of coatings based on the functions and performance such as
protective, antimicrobial, lubricious, optical, pharmacological and others. In terms of volume
antimicrobial coatings is accounted to have majority share and is expected to hold its dominance
during the forecast period. The factors driving the growth are high compatibility with various devices
and low cost. It is anticipated that the increase in research and development activities is going to
boost up the growth of antimicrobial coating in implantable devices.
Medical Coatings Market: By Applications
Based on the application segment the medical coatings market can be segmented into medical
devices, medical equipment, implants, and tools. Presently, medical devices are accounted to have
the largest share of the market and are expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast
period. Medical coatings are majorly used for coating devices such as optical, cardiovascular,
endoscopic, orthopedic and radiology devices. These coatings should be compatible with the
substrate on which these are applied and should be able to withstand cleaning, sterilization and
other conditions in which the device can be used.
In terms of volume, it is anticipated that cardiovascular will witness significant gain in CAGR during
the forecast period. The factor behind such growth could be increased preference for cardiac
pacemakers and implants. Moreover, increased government spending on healthcare and favorable
policies including reimbursement coverage will boost the growth of the industry.
