“Rising Demand in Healthcare”
- A significant and accelerating trend in the antimicrobial powder coatings market is the rapidly increasing demand from the healthcare sector, where infection prevention and hygiene standards are paramount
- For instance, hospitals, surgical centers, and dental practices are increasingly adopting antimicrobial powder coatings for medical devices, hospital beds, wheelchairs, handrails, and other high-touch surfaces to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections and contamination by bacteria, viruses, and fungi
- Stringent regulations and heightened awareness about infection control, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, have intensified the focus on antimicrobial surfaces in healthcare environments, driving innovation and adoption of these coatings
- The World Health Organization reports a high incidence of healthcare-associated infections globally, further underscoring the need for effective antimicrobial solutions in medical facilities
- The trend is also expanding into other sectors such as food processing, public transportation, and residential construction, as businesses and consumers increasingly prioritize hygiene and cleanliness in shared and personal spaces
- Key players are developing advanced formulations that offer long-lasting antimicrobial protection, improved durability, and compliance with evolving regulatory standards, supporting the ongoing growth of the market
