Global antibacterial coating market trend analysis
According to a latest research result, the global antimicrobial coatings market size exceeded US $ 3.2 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.4% from 2020 to 2026, showing a strong development trend.
Antibacterial coatings contain antibacterial agents and have good antibacterial properties. They are widely used in construction engineering, food processing, medical care and other industries, such as doors and windows, glass panels, walls, tents, counters, masks, textiles, gloves, carpets, etc. The study pointed out that there is an increasing demand for efficient and rapid defense against and killing various pathogens, thus promoting the development of the antibacterial coating market.
As people's quality of life requirements become higher and higher, new and refurbished buildings are showing an upward trend year by year. Antibacterial coatings are widely used in public facilities, such as walls, handles, counters, etc. In particular, the recent global outbreak of new coronary pneumonia requires strict control in public places to reduce exposure risks, prompting people to pay more attention to antimicrobial awareness, which has played a certain role in promoting the antimicrobial coating market.
The study pointed outthat the focus on school environmental safety is also showing an increasing trend, and antibacterial coatings are environmentally friendly and do not release toxic substances. They can be used in school classrooms, corridors, guardrails and other structures to reduce the spread of germs.
The varieties of antibacterial coatings are mainly divided into surface modified coatings and antibacterial powder coatings. Among them, the compound annual growth rate of antibacterial powder coatings from 2019 to 2026 exceeded 10%, which benefited from the strict regulations and policies of the food processing industry. The antibacterial powder coating has a good inhibitory effect on various pathogens and bacteria, and is suitable for the protection of various substrates, such as plastics, walls, and metals. This has played a beneficial role in promoting the development of the antibacterial coating market.
From the perspective of application, it mainly includes medical care, indoor air treatment system, mold purification system, food processing industry, construction industry, etc. In hospitals, the risk control requirements for bacterial and viral infections are becoming higher and higher, which promotes the application of antibacterial coatings. Antibacterial coatings can effectively reduce the spread of Gram-positive and negative bacteria and other pathogens, and the health protection measures for patients and medical personnel are also constantly improving. These factors are conducive to the development of the antibacterial coating market.
The analysis pointed out that the market value of antibacterial coatings in the medical field will exceed 1.9 billion US dollars by 2026. Antibacterial coatings in this field can effectively inhibit the spread of harmful pathogens (such as infectious viruses), while improving the anti-pollution of blood, water, secretions Features. Moreover, government agencies and health departments have gradually strengthened the protection of medical personnel, which has played a powerful role in promoting the application of antibacterial coatings in the medical field.
From a regional perspective, the annual compound growth rate of antimicrobial coatings in North America exceeds 20.5% by 2026. This is due to the increased demand for high-quality household mold elimination solutions in the region, because mold can cause many health problems, such as Cough, runny nose, asthma, etc. In severe cold winters, the need for indoor humidity reduction and mold elimination is even greater. The antibacterial coating has excellent mold inhibition even in snowy and humid environments, and the coating has a good appearance. Therefore, the demand for antibacterial coatings in North America is high.
Research indicates that. A series of recent global measures against the epidemic of Covid-19 (such as hospital construction and renovation) may increase the demand for antibacterial coatings, thereby reducing the risk of surface contact transmission of the virus.
The major global manufacturers of antibacterial coatings include: AkzoNobel, BASF, DuPont, Diamond Coatings, Nippon Coatings, Lipamax, DSM, Xuanwei, Sinotech, Trop Group, AK Group, Lonza Group, etc.
