Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tvbqpw/antimicrobial) has announced the addition of the “Antimicrobial Coatings for Medical Devices Market – Global Forecast to 2020” report to their offering.

Over the years, medical device manufacturers are looking for antimicrobial coatings which are biocompatible, non-toxic, and biostable for a wide range of medical devices. The demand for these antimicrobial coatings has increased significantly, owing to the increasing risk of hospital-associated infections (HAIs).

There are several key factors driving growth in this market, including:

• A rising awareness about hospital-acquired infections.
• Favorable research and funding environment.
• Technological Advancements in antimicrobial coatings.
• Growing implantable devices market.
• Increasing research and development activities for antimicrobial coated cardiovascular devices.
• High growth in geriatric population.
• An increasing burden of cardiovascular diseases across the globe.

However, the report does warn that a lack of FDA guidelines and regulations for antimicrobial coating techniques is likely to pose as a deterrent for the growth of this market.

North America is expected to account for the largest share of the global antimicrobial coatings for medical devices market for medical devices, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the world (RoW) in 2015. In the coming years, the antimicrobial coatings for medical devices market is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the Asian region, with emphasis on India, China, and Japan. These countries are expected to increase revenues for the manufacturers of antimicrobial coatings.
