The global medical coatings market is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2022-2030.

Medical devices used in the healthcare industry are under constant threat from moisture, body fluids, and contamination. Medical coatings are applied to protect these medical devices and instruments, including guidewires, guide wires, catheters, and others. These coatings assist in maintaining the effectiveness and durability of devices, enhance their performance and agility, and save them from attacks from various microbial factors and other pathogens. These coatings also have exceptional thermal stability, dry-film lubricity, and dielectric characteristics.

Growth Drivers:

Factors primarily driving the growth of this market include; the ever-increasing global population with health issues including the rising prevalence of ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and acute lower respiratory infections in children due to soaring pollution levels; the burgeoning awareness regarding the advancement of medical treatments; the proliferating demand for quality healthcare; the growing usage of home healthcare facilities; the rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures and devices; the high healthcare investments in developing countries; the rapidly augmenting need for early detection and non-invasive therapies, and the escalating preference for implantable and non-implantable medical equipment worldwide.

Additionally, the number of technological innovations and FDA approvals has been surging rapidly in the healthcare industry in recent years. The advent of the antimicrobial micro RESIST technology for orthopedic implants and catheters that aid in eliminating microorganisms, in tandem with the development of minimally invasive surgeries and AI-enabled diagnostics, are some of the recent developments in the industry. In 2020, the U.S Food & Drug Administration granted approvals to several medical devices, including the MiniMed 770G Glucose Monitoring System from Medtronic, the VerciseTM PC, and Vercise GeviaTM Deep Brain Stimulation from Boston Scientific and others. All these factors are leading to the introduction of new devices in the industry, which, in turn, is adding to the growth of the global medical coatings market.

Moreover, the emergence of new promising startups is also creating ample growth opportunities for the overall medical coatings market. These startups are focused on providing state-of-the-art coatings solutions for all major and minor medical devices in the medical industry used for a wide variety of applications.

Furthermore, other factors such as the rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure across the globe, including the increasing construction of various private & public hospitals and clinics; the growing demand for various protective devices used in the medical sectors; the surging government spending; the enhancing demand for lightweight medical equipment; the surging income levels in developing nations; the ever-rising geriatric population, and the escalating R&D activities are expected to further bolster the growth of the global medical coatings market during the forecast period.

However, factors such as the high initial costs of medical coatings and the constant in fluctuation in raw material prices are expected to hinder the growth of the global medical coatings market to a certain extent during the forecast period.
