According to FutureWise analysis the market for antimicrobial medical device coatings in 2023 is US$ 1.52 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 4.14 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 13.3%.
Antimicrobial medical device coatings refer to specialized coatings applied to medical devices, such as catheters, implants, or surgical instruments, to inhibit or kill pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. The coatings effectively prevent protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion. The primary purpose of these coatings is to prevent the growth and colonization of harmful microorganisms on the surface of medical devices. This can help lower the risk of infections in patients and improve overall healthcare outcomes. Antimicrobial technology helps hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities improve their cleaning procedures. It can be included in any material at any stage of production because of its tremendous adaptability. The healthcare industry can reach the highest level of sanitation thanks to additives that are effective against bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics.
Antimicrobial medical device coatings are categorized into different types- Metallic coatings, which comprise Silver, copper, or other metallic coatings. Silver and copper are prevalent choices due to their effectiveness against various microorganisms. Metallic coatings work by releasing ions of the metal, which have antimicrobial effects on bacteria, viruses, and fungi. On the other hand, non-metallic coatings comprise polymeric and organic coatings. They can use various mechanisms to inhibit or kill pathogens, such as releasing antimicrobial agents or contact-killing surfaces. It can also include materials like certain plastics, ceramics, or specialized organic compounds.
