Antiviral & Antimicrobial Coatings Market Worth $8.53 Billion by 2028

Antiviral & Antimicrobial Coatings Market by Type (Antimicrobial, Antiviral), Material (Copper, Silver, Aluminum), Form (Powder, Aerosol), Application (Healthcare, Building & Construction, Automotive, Packaging), and Geography – Forecast to 2028

The Antiviral & Antimicrobial Coatings Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2021 to 2028 to reach $8.53 billion by 2028. Antiviral & antimicrobial coatings are used to restrict the growth of viruses and other microorganisms. These coatings provide long-lasting protection against microorganisms and help maintain permanent hygiene. They have wide applications in healthcare, building & construction, food & beverage, packaging, air & water treatment, automotive, protective clothing, and other industries like oil & gas, electronics, and aeronautics & defense.

The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the increasing incidence of healthcare-associated infections, the rising number of food product recalls due to microbial contamination, and government initiatives & funding for the development of antimicrobial coatings. Favorable development in the emerging economies is expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players in this market. However, stringent government regulation on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is expected to restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent. Additionally, the growing antimicrobial resistance among micro-organisms is expected to pose challenges to market growth.
