Market World Antimicrobial Coatings Market | Page 2

Antimicrobial coatings have been in the healthcare industry for sterilization of medical instruments to hospital
associated infections, which have accounted for around 100,000 deaths in the U.S. With the application of these
over children toys to everything increases, the chances of taking out even the ecological microorganism are of
a concern. U.S. FDA and MHRA have raised the concern on the usage of silver in the product which can be a key
hindrance for the overall demand. Copper and alloys (bronze, copper copper-nickel-zinc, and others) are an
innovation as they are natural antimicrobial materials in antimicrobial surfaces as they can destroy a variety of
microorganisms due to their intrinsic properties.
U.S. FDA has provided certain regulations for drug-device combinations which except to boost the market over
the forecast period. They meet the safety and efficacy part based on specified requirements. In recent past, the
application directly on the local surface is considered more.
Product Insights
Surface modification and coatings dominated the product segment accounting for a market share of around

growth. So, biocides are used to maintain the product’s usage period and to preserve the desired look of the
painted surface for a longer period.
Medical and surgical devices use the coating of silver nanoparticles which destroys the microorganism cell
membranes that are used to avoid bacterial adhesion and formation of bio-film. The extended release of silver
nano particles helps in killing the bacteria near the surface with low toxicity.
