Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption in consumer electronics, growing use in automotive interiors, increasing demand for touch resistant surfaces, expansion of coatings in stainless steel, rising focus on enhanced user experience.

The increasing demand for electronic devices is expected to propel the growth of the anti-fingerprint coating market going forward. Electronic devices are gadgets that regulate electric current to perform specific functions such as computing, communication, or entertainment, including smartphones, computers, and televisions. This rising demand is driven by expanding connectivity and the need for greater convenience and efficiency in everyday life. Anti-fingerprint coatings on these devices help minimize smudges and streaks on screens, improving user experience by maintaining a clean and clear display. For example, in May 2023, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association reported that total electronic equipment production in Japan reached $4.98 billion (¥771,457 million). Additionally, consumer electronics production rose to $207.61 million (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, up from $163.43 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Therefore, the surge in demand for electronic devices is driving the growth of the anti-fingerprint coating market.

Major companies in the anti-fingerprint coating market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings to enhance surface durability, reduce smudging, and improve overall user experience. Oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings are specialized surface treatments that repel oils and water, respectively, helping surfaces remain clean and resistant to smudges or stains. For example, in October 2024, Tredegar Corporation, a US-based industrial manufacturer, introduced a new line of Obsidian Automotive Protective Films designed for automotive applications. The Obsidian line includes high-performance protective films for both interior and exterior uses, such as automotive displays, augmented reality films for head-up display (HUD) devices, automotive glass and plastic covers, and protective films for automotive cameras and body components.
