Hydrophilic Coatings Market

Hydrophilic Coatings Market - Insights, Size, Share,
Opportunity Analysis,Industry Forecast till 2025
Hydrophilic coatings refer to low friction and wettable coatings majorly applied to
various medical devices including cannulas, catheters, and guide wires. Hydrophilic
coatings on medical devices produce a lubricious surface reducing irritation and
trauma caused by the insertion of a medical device in the body. In addition to this,
hydrophilic coatings help to prevent the medical devices from bacterial colonization,
thereby reducing the possibility of infections.

The major factors propelling the growth of this market include the increasing
adoption of hydrophilic coatings from end-use industries, such as healthcare,
automotive, aerospace, and marine. Hydrophilic coatings exhibit water attracting
properties and produces a hydrogen bond, which creates a lubricious and wettable
coating that can be applied to a variety of surfaces and materials. Furthermore, the
growing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry is expected to
boost the growth of this market in near future. However, the high production cost of
the hydrophilic coatings coupled with the lower shelf life of these products are the
major factors hindering the growth of the market.
In terms of revenue, North America dominated the hydrophilic coatings market in
2016 and accounted for a share of more than around 35%. This dominance is due to
increasing awareness regarding the benefits associated with non-invasive surgery
procedures including laparoscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and thoracoscopic
surgery. Furthermore, the rising penetration of hydrophilic coatings in the optics,
aerospace, and automotive industries is largely contributing to the growth of
hydrophilic coatings market in the region. The application of hydrophilic coatings on
optical surface enhances transparency and provides clear vision, thus increasing the
penetration level of hydrophilic coatings in various optical devices including outdoor
surveillance, camera windows, and outdoor displays. According to the International
Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the U.S had manufactured
around 3,934,357 cars and around 8,263,780 commercial vehicles in 2016.
Hydrophilic coatings are extensively used in car windshields and rear-view mirrors in
order to ensure clarity while driving during rains. This factor is highly responsible for
the growth of this market in the U.S, which in turn is complementing the growth of the
hydrophilic coatings market in North America.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market for hydrophilic coatings,
witnessing the highest CAGR of 8.83% during the forecast period (2017 - 2025).
Major factors propelling the growth of this market include substantial growth in the
income of middle-class population and the steadily growing geriatric population in the
region, which is supporting the growth of medical sector, in turn increasing the
demand for hydrophilic coatings in the medical devices. According to the United
Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the region is aging faster at an unprecedented
rate and by 2050, one out of four people in the Asia Pacific is expected to be over 60
years. Furthermore, UNFPA anticipated that the geriatric population in the region is
expected to triple between 2010 and 2050, amounting to around 1.3 billion people.
The steadily growing healthcare sector in China is also propelling the growth of
hydrophilic coatings market. According to Coherent Market Insights, the health care
expenditure in China is expected to grow from US$ 355 billion in 2011 to
approximately US$ 1 trillion by 2020.
Based on end-use industry, healthcare segment emerged as the leading market in
2016 and is expected to retain market dominance throughout the forecast period.
This is due to its lubricious coatings on the disposable medical devices including
guide wires and catheters. These coatings lower down the insertion force, which
reduces the possibilities of severe abrasion between the vessel walls and the
surface of the device. Moreover, the qualities including biocompatibility, durability,
sterility, and flexibility are some of the major factors propelling the growth of
hydrophilic coatings market in the healthcare sector.
Based on substrates, the hydrophilic coatings market is segmented into polymers,
glass, metal, nanoparticles, and others. The polymer segment is expected to record
a rapid growth in near future witnessing highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Major players operating in the global hydrophilic coatings market include SurModics
Inc., Aculon Inc., Surface Solutions Group LLC, Hydromer Inc., Teleflex
Incorporated, AdvanSource Biomaterials Corp., Koninklijke DSM N.V., Covalon
Technologies Ltd., and Harland Medical Devices.
