Medical Coating Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2028

 

Medical devices are susceptible to microbial infections such as bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, which can lead to healthcare-associated infections in patients. The medical coating is defined as a covering applied to medical devices such as implants or any type of equipment to prevent the formation of biofilm or to change physical properties such as lubrication. The growing number of infections caused by medical devices is driving up demand for medical coating for devices on the market. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, approximately 8.3% of patients staying in intensive care units for more than two days in 2015 had at least one healthcare-associated infection, highlighting the importance of proper coating for medical uses.

The market is divided into fluoropolymer, silicone, parylene, metals, and others based on material type. The fluoropolymer segment dominated the market. Fluoropolymers are non-wetting and inert, preventing almost any substance from adhering to and reacting with a coated surface. Medical Coating Market  have a non-porous, long-lasting, and smooth structure. Fluoropolymers are useful in a variety of applications, including anaesthesia delivery, agitating shafts, sterilisation equipment, centrifuge components, saline packaging, implants, tubes, surgical tools, and others.

During the forecast period, the parylene conformal coating market is expected to grow at the fastest rate. Parylene is used in the medical coatings industry because of its protective and mechanical properties.

The Medical Coating Market  is divided into four categories based on application: medical devices, medical implants, medical equipment & tools, and others. Coatings for medical devices include hydrophilic, hydrophobic, antimicrobial, antithrombogenic, and other coatings.Medical devices are effective at providing healthcare and improving people's health. Increasing R&D and technological advancements in the medical sector have opened up a wide range of application areas for various medical devices. The growing geriatric population is one of the key factors driving up demand for medical devices, which is expected to Medical Coating Market.
