Medical Coating Market - Global Industry
Insights, Trends, Outlook and Opportunity
Analysis 2018-2026
Medical devices are susceptible to various kind of microbial infection such as bacterial, viral, and
fungal infection resulting into health care-associated infections in patients. Medical coating is
considered as a covering applied on the medical devices including implants or any kind of
equipment to prevent formation of biofilm or to alter physical properties such as lubrication. The
increasing cases of infection occurring through medical devicesn is propelling demand for medical
coating for the devices in the market. According to European Centre for Disease Prevention and
Control, in 2015, around 8.3% of patients staying in intensive care unit for more than two days were
detected with at least one health care-associated infections, which suggests the importance of proper
coating for the medical usables. Medical coating has wide applications in orthopaedics, cardiology,
neurology, ophthalmology, cosmetic surgery, drug delivery system, and many more. Increasing
global population, health issues, and growth in number of healthcare centres are expected to drive
growth of the medical coating market over the forecast period.

Medical Coating Market - Drivers
Increasing Demands for implantable devices and alteration from conventional operational practice
to minimally invasive medical procedure act as significant drivers for growth of the medical coating
market. Increasing global population with healthcare issues and increasing awareness regarding
advancement of medical treatments are propelling demand for implantable devices such as dental
implants, orthopaedic implants, neurostimulator device, and breast implants. According to American
Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons report, 2014, in U.S. around 4.5 million people are with
artificial hip and 6.7 million people with artificial knee in 2010. According to Mayo Foundation for
Medical Education and Research, around 370000 Americans receive cardiac pacemakers annually.
These data shows only small segment of implantable device and likewise increases use will also
increase chances of microbial infection, which can be avoided by using medical coating. This is
expected to drive growth of the medical coating market over the forecast period.
The main property of medical coating exploited for minimally invasive medical practice is its
surface properties such as lubrication for device, which enters the body tissue. Increasing
