The global breathable antimicrobial coatings market size is expected to reach USD 1.35 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.6% from 2024 to 2030, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be attributed to the increasing utilization of breathable antimicrobial coatings in end-user industries such as construction, textiles, food, and others.
Breathable antimicrobial coatings are materials that are developed to restrain the proliferation of microorganisms while permitting the flow of air or moisture vapor. In the construction industry, these products are employed to elevate the resilience, cleanliness, and overall efficacy of construction materials. They may be applied to both, interior and exterior walls to impede the emergence of mold, mildew, and bacteria. The use of this product is a critical measure in locales characterized by elevated humidity levels or susceptibility to moisture infiltration.
Breathable antimicrobial coatings are used in the automotive industry to improve the interior air quality, safety, and cleanliness of vehicles. They can be applied to seats and upholstery materials in vehicles to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, thereby contributing to a clean and healthy indoor environment. Moreover, coatings applied to frequently touched surfaces, such as the dashboards, steering wheels, gear shifts, and door handles, prevent the spread of germs and help maintain a hygienic interior.
Research and development cycles for introducing new breathable antimicrobial coatings in the market can be lengthy. The time required to bring these innovative products to the market may slow down their widespread adoption. Extended development cycles result in a delayed time-to-market for these products. This delay allows competing technologies or products to gain a foothold in the market, thereby potentially limiting the share that can be captured by the product in the global market.
The indoor air quality segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate of 14.4% during the forecast period due to extensive usage of breathable antimicrobial coatings to monitor the presence of air particulates
North America witnessed the fastest growth rate with a CAGR of nearly 14.4%. The market is growing due to factors such as strong economic development coupled with the presence of large end user corporations
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 75,000 people are hospitalized in the U.S. annually with fungal infections and other diseases. At least 7,000 people lost their lives in 2021, up from just 450 people in the past. This has necessitated the utilization of breathable antimicrobial coatings to curb the spread of fungal infections
The usage of breathable antimicrobial coatings is governed by regulatory bodies such as European Protection Agency (EPA), European Union (EU), International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in their respective countries
Increasing applications of the product in surging demand for medical and pharma applications as well as growth of consumer industries of the product in emerging economies are expected to act as opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period
