全球疏水塗料市場——2023年至2028年預測Global hydrophobic Coatings Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
疏水塗層是主要應用於玻璃、混凝土、金屬、陶瓷和聚合物基材的保護屏障,廣泛應用於醫療、航空航天、汽車、建築、電子和紡織等行業。多種產品可增強此類基材的防銹、抗菌、防冰、防污和自清潔性能。 太陽能電池板中採用的新型疏水塗層技術的開發以及對可持續能源需求的同時增加,以及疏水塗層在上述行業中的廣泛採用,是導致疏水塗層在預測期間預期增長的重要因素預計這將增加粘合劑塗料市場的需求。
疏水塗層因其生物相容性、耐磨性、潤滑性、不顯色等特性,在醫療保健和製藥行業得到廣泛採用,廣泛應用於各種手術器械、醫療器械等領域。保持設備清潔的時間更長,因為這會使設備面臨因接觸體液和組織碎片而逐漸污染的風險。 疏水塗層中使用的納米技術的進步是主要製藥和醫療公司尋求提高醫療設備性能的研究成果。 例如,印度科技部下屬粉末冶金與新材料國際高級研究中心的科學家於2023年2月宣布,可以開發出一種集成了殺菌劑和納米複合材料的新型疏水塗層ATL。宣布發展。
世界衛生組織 (WHO) 透露,中低收入國家約有 11% 的患者遭受術後手術部位感染。 感染的發生是由於切口部位周圍的軟組織中形成了對抗生素具有極強抗藥性的生物膜或細菌群落。 因此,具有抗菌特性的疏水塗層對於減少術後手術部位感染的重要性日益增加,以及由於消費者醫療保健支出的增加而導致主要醫療保健行業的醫療器械消耗不斷增加,是預計推動疏水塗層市場增長的關鍵因素在預測期內。
太陽能技術、工業鋼鐵、金屬塗層和納米材料等各個領域的研究機構和公司的持續研發項目正在推動疏水塗層技術的進步。 例如,2022 年 11 月,埃及國家研究中心的一組研究人員開發了一種新的薄膜疏水塗層,用於保存收穫的水果。 此外,ACS Applied Material Interfaces 的一組科學家於 2022 年 1 月發表的一項研究揭示了在生物材料上利用納米疏水塗層來增強鈦基合金的近紅外性能的潛力。 此外,由於與鋼鐵和金屬製造行業相關的疏水塗層技術的最新發展,預計用於鋼鐵和金屬製造行業的疏水塗層將會增加。 例如,2022 年 6 月發表在《科學報告》上的一項研究揭示瞭如何用石墨烯生成環保且可持續的超疏水塗層並將其應用於鋼鐵表面。 此外,中央分析研究設施還在低碳鋼表面開發了一種新型等離子超疏水塗層。 因此,預計多項研究活動將促進疏水塗層技術的快速進步,從而在預測期內促進疏水塗層產品的生產和消費。
根據Violin Scientific 進行的研究,疏水塗層的性能和有效性會由於其對腐蝕性顆粒、裂紋和抗紫外線等外部因素的抵抗力較低而降低。研究表明,它還會改變納米塗層的納米結構。塗層中存在的微觀結構,導致表面不同區域的塗層均勻度不均勻。 疏水塗層的加速降解可能會減緩疏水塗層市場的擴張。 然而,疏水塗層技術發展的進步可能有助於克服這一限制。
該地區電子、汽車和製藥行業的增長是亞洲主要經濟體疏水塗料消費的主要因素。 該地區某些國家(例如韓國和日本)可支配收入水平的上升導致乘用車和商用車的購買量增加,從而擴大了該地區的汽車工業。 汽車上的疏水塗層可以方便地拋光和清潔汽車,並且可以在季風季節防水和防雪。 國際汽車製造商協會宣布,韓國生產的汽車數量將從2021年的340萬輛增加到2022年的370萬輛。 豐田、起亞、現代和馬恆達等某些主要汽車公司在亞太地區的存在和生產活動的擴大預計將刺激疏水塗料市場的增長。
Hydrophobic coatings are protective barriers predominantly applied on glass, concrete, metal, ceramic, and polymer substrates used in several products manufactured in a wide range of industries, including medical, aerospace, automotive, building & construction, electronics, textiles, and certain others to enhance the anti-corrosion, anti-microbial, anti-icing, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning properties of such substrates. The development of new hydrophobic coating technology to be employed in solar panels and the simultaneous rise in the demand for sustainable energy sources is an important factor, along with the widespread adoption of hydrophobic coatings in the previously mentioned industries, expected to increase the demand for hydrophobic coatings market over the forecast period.
Hydrophobic coatings are extensively employed in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector due to their biocompatibility, abrasion-resistance, lubricious and nonchromogenic properties which assist in maintaining the cleanliness of various surgical instruments, medical equipment and other devices clean for a greater amount of time since they are exposed to the risk of gradual contamination through their contact with bodily fluids or tissue debris. The research by leading pharmaceutical and medical companies to improve the performance of medical devices is resulting in an advancement in nanotechnology to be used in hydrophobic coatings. For instance, scientists working at a division of the Department of Science and Technology of India, the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Material announced the development of a new hydrophobic coating, ATL, by integrating biocidal properties with nanocomposites in February 2023.
The World Health Organization has revealed that approximately 11% of patients in middle-income and low-income countries are affected by post-operative surgical site infections which are formed as a result of the formation of biofilms or a group of bacteria that are extremely unresponsive to antibiotics applied in the soft tissue surrounding the incision site. Therefore, the rising importance of hydrophobic coating with antibacterial properties to lower post-operative surgical site infections and the increase in consumption of medical devices across major healthcare sectors due to rising healthcare expenditure by consumers is a significant factor anticipated to result in the growth of hydrophobic coatings market over the forecast period.
The constant research and development projects conducted by various research facilities and companies in different fields, such as solar technology, industrial steel, metal coatings, and nanomaterials, are facilitating the advancement of hydrophobic coating technology. For instance, a group of researchers at the National Research Center of Egypt innovated a new hydrophobic coating for thin films to preserve harvested fruits in November 2022. Further, a research study published by a group of scientists in the ACS Applied Material Interfaces in January 2022 revealed the possibility of utilizing nano-hydrophobic coating on biomaterials to enhance the NIR features of alloys made using titanium. In addition, the hydrophobic coatings employed in steel and metal manufacturing industries are expected to rise due to the recent developments in hydrophobic coating technology related to these industries. For instance, research published in Scientific Reports in June 2022 revealed the method of generating eco-friendly and sustainable superhydrophobic coating from graphene to be applied on steel surfaces. Further, the Central Analytical Research Facility developed a new superhydrophobic coating powered by plasma on mild steel surfaces. Therefore, the rapid advancement in hydrophobic coating technology fueled by several research activities is expected to propel the production and consumption of hydrophobic coating products over the forecast period.
A study conducted by Biolin Scientific revealed that the performance and effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings degrade as they have low tolerability towards external factors such as corrosive particles, tear, and UV resistance, which alter the nanostructures and microstructures present in hydrophobic coatings, which could also lead to uneven coating uniformity at different areas of the surface. The faster degradation of hydrophobic coatings could slow down the expansion of the hydrophobic coatings market. However, the increasing development in hydrophobic coating technology could help overcome this limitation.
The growth in the region's electronics, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors are major factors contributing to the consumption of hydrophobic coatings in major Asian economies. The rise in disposable income levels in certain countries in the region, such as South Korea and Japan, is resulting in the increased purchase of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, which is expanding the automotive sector in the region. Applying hydrophobic coatings on vehicles enables convenient polishing and cleaning of cars and repels water and snow during monsoon seasons. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers revealed that the number of vehicles manufactured in South Korea increased from 3.4 million units in 2021 to 3.7 million units in 2022. The presence and expansion of production activities of certain leading automotive companies such as Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, and Mahindra in the Asia Pacific region are expected to stimulate the growth of the hydrophobic coatings market.
