Antimicrobial Powder Coatings Market Report 2026

The antimicrobial powder coatings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2025 to $2.4 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of healthcare infrastructure, increasing awareness of surface hygiene, expansion of powder coating usage, availability of metal-based antimicrobial agents, rising demand for durable coatings.

The antimicrobial powder coatings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory focus on infection control, rising adoption in food processing facilities, expansion of smart building materials, growing demand for sustainable coatings, increasing investments in advanced surface technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for antimicrobial surface protection, rising adoption in healthcare facilities, growing use of silver-based additives, expansion of powder coating applications, enhanced focus on long-term hygiene.

The growing awareness of hygiene is driving the expansion of the antimicrobial powder coating market. Hygiene involves practices and conditions that maintain health and prevent disease through cleanliness. Antimicrobial powder coatings support this by providing surfaces that inhibit microbial growth, creating cleaner and healthier environments. For example, in May 2024, UNICEF reported that in 2023, 21.5 million people accessed basic sanitation services (including 1.2 million with disabilities), 35.9 million gained reliable access to safe water (including 1.6 million with disabilities), and 24.2 million obtained basic hygiene facilities (including 1.1 million with disabilities). Therefore, the increasing focus on hygiene is expected to propel the antimicrobial powder coating market in the coming years.

Leading companies in the antimicrobial powder coating market are developing innovative solutions, such as thermoplastic antifungal additives, to prevent fungal growth. These additives inhibit fungi, molds, and mildew, enhancing product durability and hygiene in moisture-prone environments. For instance, in December 2023, Avient Corporation, a US-based materials company, launched Cesa Withstand with new antimicrobial and antifungal grades. Designed for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-laminated products, these additives effectively prevent bacteria, mold, and fungi on plastic surfaces. Extensive testing to international standards, including JIS 2801 and JIS Z 2911, confirmed significant reductions in microbial activity and effective antifungal performance.

In February 2023, KANSAI HELIOS, a Japan-based coatings company, acquired CWS Lackfabrik GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthened KANSAI HELIOS’s position in powder coatings and synthetic resins, enhancing technical capabilities, expanding its product portfolio, and boosting production and distribution capacities across Europe and globally. CWS Lackfabrik GmbH, based in Germany, specialized in antimicrobial powder coatings.
