Research and Markets: Markets for Smart Antimicrobial Coatings and Surfaces – 2015 to 2022

DUBLIN
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hwv9pb/markets_for_smart) has announced the addition of the “Markets for Smart Antimicrobial Coatings and Surfaces – 2015 to 2022 “ report to their offering.
The silver-based smart antimicrobials market will continue to grow, reaching US$913 million by 2020, but will be hurt by the appearance of more effective smart antimicrobials such as peptides as well as environmental concerns about silver itself.
There will also be a strong trend towards combining smart antimicrobials with additional self-cleaning and self-healing functionality. Self-cleaning adds to the antimicrobial effect by washing away microbes while self-repair of cracks gives microbes no place to hide. By 2020 smart multifunctional coatings and surfaces are expected to generate are around US$120 million
Sales of smart antimicrobials will focus on medical equipment and medical uniforms. Growing the market for smart antimicrobials into non-healthcare markets will be a challenge; life and death concerns will be hard to evoke as part of a business case. However, n-tech still sees important niches outside of medical markets where smart antimicrobials are likely to sell well. These include high-use and high-traffic areas in buildings, and clothing and textiles. The interior surfaces of cars, truck, aircraft and marine vessels present additional opportunities for smart antimicrobial surfaces.
By 2020, we expect the market for smart antimicrobial coatings and surfaces in non-healthcare markets to reach US$225 million going on to reach US$500 million by the 2022.
