Antimicrobial Coating Market Drivers and Opportunities

Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare Settings

Healthcare settings can contribute to the spread of various infections, harming health workers, patients, and visitors. According to the World Health Organization, out of every 100 patients in acute-care hospitals, 7 patients in high-income countries and 15 patients in low- and middle-income countries will acquire at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI) during their hospital stay, respectively. In addition, on average, the cause of death of one in every ten affected patients is HAI. Newborns and people in intensive care are particularly at high risk of getting infected. A new report from WHO shows that 70% of those infections can be prevented if good hand hygiene and other cost-effective practices are followed. As a result, infection prevention and control has become an important aspect of modern healthcare practices. Many countries have an appointed infection prevention and control (IPC) focal point, along with a dedicated budget for IPC and curriculum for front-line healthcare workers training. With the help of this budget, healthcare authorities are developing national IPC guidelines and a national program or plan for HAI surveillance and establishing hand hygiene compliance as a key national indicator. Many countries across the globe are demonstrating strong engagement and progress in scaling up actions to establish minimum requirements and core components of IPC programs. Further, there is an increasing awareness regarding the importance of hygiene and sterilization practices. Healthcare facilities are adopting advanced measures to prevent the spread of pathogens. Antimicrobial coatings offer a continuous and passive layer of protection against harmful microorganisms. These coatings are increasingly incorporated into medical equipment and healthcare furnishings for infection prevention and control. Thus, focus on infection prevention and control in healthcare settings fuels the antimicrobial coating market growth.

Rising Demand for Antimicrobial Coating for Package Printing

Package printing involves the application of inks and coatings to various substrates, such as paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals. Packages serve as a canvas for branding and product information as well as a critical layer of protection that shields products from moisture, oxygen, odor, stain, material-degrading microbes, and other environmental threats. Antimicrobial coatings have become a necessity for forward-thinking brands with a growing focus on cleanliness and welfare. Antimicrobial coatings are transforming the way brands protect their products and materials by utilizing advanced chemical formulations designed to inhibit microbial growth. These coatings incorporate active agents, which are known for their potent antimicrobial properties. Antimicrobial barrier coatings are becoming more valuable in industries where microbial cross-contamination can jeopardize product quality or safety. Antimicrobial coatings prevent spoilage by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, thereby extending product freshness in food packaging. In healthcare packaging, these coatings provide an extra layer of defense, ensuring the product is safeguarded. These antimicrobial coatings help brands safeguard product quality, extend shelf life, and build consumer trust in an increasingly hygiene-conscious market.
