Superhydrophobic Coating Market Worth $11.2 Million By 2024

The global superhydrophobic coating market is expected to reach USD 11.2 million by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Depleting freshwater reserves are one of the key concerns driving the demand for self-cleaning technologies. Superhydrophobics are completely water-repellent, fostering dirt to slide off from their surface at even slight elevation angles, which makes them ideal for solar panels & similar applications.

Expanding consumer electronics industry in emerging economies and the subsequent rise in demand for durable materials with complete waterproofing properties is another key driver for industry growth. Leather and nonwoven textiles are also increasingly utilizing them to provide comfort to consumers while eradicating washing cycles.

Anti-microbial accounted for over 41% of global volume in 2015. These coatings are witnessing high demand from the medical sector for manufacturing dermatologically compatible, pathogen-resistant surgical instruments, operating gowns & gloves along with other devices.
