Hydrophilic Coatings Market Information: by Substrate (Polymers, Glass & Ceramics, Metals, Nanoparticles, and Others), by Application (Medical Devices & Equipment, Automotive, Marine, Optical and Others), and Region - Forecast till 2030

Hydrophilic Coatings Market Overview Hydrophilic Coatings Market is projected to be worth USD 3.0 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2020 - 2030). During the forecast period, the Hydrophilic Coatings Market is expected to increase at a significant CAGR. Surface friction is reduced and lubricity is improved with hydrophilic coatings. As long as the coating is moist, it behaves like a microscopic sponge and gives exceptional low friction qualities. The growing demand for regulated lubricity of medical device surfaces is driving the Hydrophilic Coatings Market. When utilized on a patient, hydrophilic coatings can be used on guidewires, catheters, and cannulas to lessen the occurrence of inflammation and damage caused by these devices. These coatings react with water to generate a hydrogel material that minimizes insertion force, prevents puncture damage, and allows for biological interactions. They have antibacterial qualities and are biocompatible, which eliminates the risk of infection. The usage of hydrophilic coatings as an anti-fog agent in automobile elements like windshields and rear-view mirrors is expected to boost market growth even more. These coatings are also utilized in ophthalmology to prevent catastrophic bursting and incision size when inserting intraocular lenses (IOLs). They are also found in optical devices like camera windows, outdoor surveillance cameras, and more. The marine industry is seeing an increase in demand for these coatings because they reduce kinematic friction between covered boats and water surfaces.
