“Antimicrobial coatings basically are used to protect HVAC products, electronic appliances, food processing facilities, medical packaging and others by supressing the growth of microbes formed on their respective surfaces. Antimicrobial coatings destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, especially pathogenic which come from nature. These microbes can be deleterious to human health if there is absence of antimicrobial coating on HVAC systems, air-conditioning systems, food processing and packaging, medical packaging, textiles, construction applications in corporate offices, commercial areas, industries, residential building and others. The quality of air which is being inhaled by humans can be harmful and may have serious impacts on health as these microbes dwell on HVAC and air-conditioning systems. Antimicrobial coatings are generally applied on various parts or appliances during the manufacturing or just after assembly stage.
The global antimicrobial coatings market has been segmented on the basis of product type, end-user applications and geography. They are broadly classified into two main product types: antimicrobial powder coatings and surface modification coatings. Antimicrobial powder coatings are further classified into silver, copper and others whereas surface modification coatings consist of Escherichia coli, pseudomonas, listeria and others. Antimicrobial coatings is attaining enormous growth owing to the growing demand of end-user applications such as HVAC, food processing and packaging, construction, mold remediation, medical, textiles and others worldwide.
In terms of geography, antimicrobial coatings market is segmented into four key regions namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Rest of the world (ROW). North America antimicrobial coatings market is divided into three countries namely U.S., Mexico and Canada. The U.S. dominates the market in terms of volume and revenue followed by Canada and Mexico. Europe is divided into Germany, U.K., France and others which are the main countries having major market share in terms of volume and revenue. In APAC, China is the market leader followed by Japan, India and others.
