The global antimicrobial coatings market was valued at $3.7 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $11.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2021 to 2030.
Antimicrobial coatings are type of coatings that are incorporated with specific chemicals used to hinder the microbes and pathogen growth through cellular membrane perturbation. These coatings increase surface durability, appearance, and improves corrosion resistance apart from serving its role of suppressing microbial growth.
The growth of the global antimicrobial coatings market is driven by increase in adoption of antimicrobial coatings in healthcare sector and increase risk of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). According to report by European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, around 4 million people tend to acquire HAIs and around 37,000 deaths occur yearly due to risk of HAIs. Contending HAIs such as central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and surgical site infections (SSI) are problematic in the medical & healthcare sector. In western countries such as Norway, the UK, the U.S., and Canada, healthcare associated infections are considered to be causing more deaths and are ranked sixth among leading cause of death. The situation and causes of deaths related to HAIs in developing countries such as Indonesia, India, Iran, and Iraq is worsening. These all factors have increased the demand and need for surface protection technologies and products globally. The need for surface protection is not only confined to the healthcare sector, but is also crucial in other end-use industries such as building & construction, textiles, food service packaging, and others. Antimicrobial coatings tend to offer improved surface protection and prohibits the microbial colonization on treated surfaces. Thus, all these factors together are predicted to augment the demand for the global antimicrobial coatings market.
However, antimicrobial coatings pose several risks such as emission of active ingredients, release of toxic contaminants into eco-system, and others. Antimicrobial coatings tend to release active agents that further slowly enter the eco-system and in turn leads to health hazards. In addition, antimicrobial coatings based in silver, zinc, and copper tend to release toxins that are dangerous to oceanic creatures such as fish and crustaceans, which is expected to hamper the market growth.
Conversely, presence of bacteria and mildew in building products and materials leads to stains, odor, and product degradation. Building materials usually contain starch, adhesives (organic), and cellulosic sugar. These are the ideal source of nutrient that leads to growth of mold, mildews, and bacteria. This in turn increases the risk of repair, replacement of building materials, and cost associated with temporary relocation. Incorporation of antimicrobial coated building products helps to minimize the risk of bacterial growth and creates clean environmental conditions. Insulation materials, LVT flooring, ceramic tiles, PVC roofing membranes, sanitaryware, plumbing components, HVAC parts, and floor coatings are some examples that uses antimicrobial coatings during production.

Antimicrobial coatings are type of surface coating containing active ingredient that are usually applied or coated on surface to impart antimicrobial property preventing growth of microbes, mold, and mildew.
Use of antimicrobial coatings along with convectional sanitizing products such as disinfectants offers improved hygienic conditions. For instance, environmental microbiology professor in University of Arizona conducted a study on spread of virus present on high touch surface areas to people. Virus and other microbes tend to spread faster that are present on frequent touch surfaces. Silver and copper based antimicrobial coatings are capable of destroying protein structure of microbes and virus that in turn renders the growth of microbes. In addition, antimicrobial coated surfaces continuously disinfect the surface that are vulnerable to microbial growth. Hospitals are vulnerable to spread of airborne virus and microbes. However, floor and other surfaces painted with antimicrobial coatings helps to denature microbial and virus growth that in turn inhibits growth of virulently airborne microbes. All these factors collectively drive the demand of the global market.
However, there are several drawbacks associated with disposal of antimicrobial coated surfaces. In addition, antimicrobial coatings tend to emit active ingredients that are susceptible of entering into ecosystem and thereby increasing the risk of causing health associated hazards.

- According to Eswara Prasad, Manager, Chemical and Material of the research firm, “The global antimicrobial coatings market is expected to possess high growth potential in the coming years. Consumer goods such as home appliances, pet products, luggage, and kitchenware, are widely used products in homes. Goods present inside the home are expected to be vulnerable to growth of stain and odor causing microbes. Thus, consumers are giving importance to selection of efficient and innovative antimicrobial coatings that are usually applied on these consumer goods. In addition, hygiene sensitive products and products that are used in moist and warm environment such as bathroom and kitchen, tend to act as a catalyst for the growth of microbes. Thus, to overcome this problem, many consumers prefer antimicrobial coating products that add a layer of protection and cleanliness to these microbe vulnerable products.
- Several efforts are being put by healthcare professionals to stop the spread and reduce the morbidity rate linked with healthcare associated infections (HAIs). Surface contamination is considered as the vital aspect for HAIs control in healthcare sector. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria is capable of surviving on the untreated surface for months. In addition, its tendency increases with favorable environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. However, several healthcare professionals follow cleanliness standards such as use of novel disinfectants, steam spraying, and automated aerosol dispensers to stop the growth of microbes and curb the spread of HAIs. These conventional methods tend to clean and kill the microbes and germs present on the surface. Even though a surface may look clean that are cleaned with conventional methods, testing often reveals the presence of organic remains and nosocomial pathogens on the surfaces. In order to overcome this problem, several antimicrobial technologies and coatings are being developed and used. For instance, metal based antimicrobial coatings are used to minimize microbial count. In addition, antimicrobial coated surfaces offer high level of hygiene conditions as compared with surfaces that are cleaned with conventional methods. Antimicrobial coatings based on silver can effectively reduce the microbial contamination. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has a moderate impact on the global antimicrobial coatings market.”
