The Antiviral & Antimicrobial Coatings Market Report 2025

The antiviral & antimicrobial coatings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.93 billion in 2024 to $5.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to long-term durability, global pandemics, industry adoption, hospital-acquired infections (hais), consumer demand, increased hygiene awareness.

The antiviral & antimicrobial coatings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to healthcare investments, pandemic preparedness, stringent hygiene standards, industry expansion, rise in infectious diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand in healthcare, education and awareness campaigns, research and development focus, remote and touchless technology, sustainable coating solutions.

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is projected to drive the growth of the antiviral and antimicrobial coatings market. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by microorganisms or parasites that invade the body, multiply, and result in infections, which can be either contagious or non-contagious. Antiviral and antimicrobial coatings have been designed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases on contaminated surfaces. These coatings often utilize peptides and nanomaterials to provide antiviral properties that combat infectious bacteria and viruses. For example, in June 2022, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a U.S. government agency, reported that the prevalence of infectious diseases in outpatient care had nearly tripled over two decades, rising from 8 to 26 per 1,000. Thus, the growing incidence of infectious diseases is fueling the expansion of the antiviral and antimicrobial coatings market.

The growth of the food and beverage industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the antiviral and antimicrobial coatings market in the coming years. This industry encompasses a wide range of businesses involved in various stages of the food supply chain. Foodborne infections and contamination pose significant challenges for the food and beverage sector. To address these issues, antimicrobial coatings are utilized to enhance cleanliness and safety in food packaging materials and processing equipment. For example, in October 2023, the Agriculture and Agri-Food Department of a Canadian government agency reported that exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record high of $54.3 billion in 2022, reflecting a 14.1% increase from the previous year and accounting for 34.7% of the total production value. Consequently, the growth of the food and beverage industry is driving the demand for antiviral and antimicrobial coatings.

Product innovation stands out as a significant trend gaining traction in the antiviral and antimicrobial coatings market. Major players in this market are dedicated to developing cutting-edge products to reinforce their market position and gain a competitive edge. For instance, in February 2022, Nippon Paint Co., Ltd., a Japanese paint manufacturer, introduced PROTECTON® Floor VK Clear and PROTECTON Interior Wall VK Coat. These water-based paint products, designed for floors and interior walls, respectively, showcase exceptional durability and incorporate anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties from copper. They achieve a reduction of viruses and bacteria on the coated surface by 99% or more while maintaining excellent durability. VK Clear even extends its application to porcelain tiles, demonstrating adhesion capabilities that are challenging to achieve under normal circumstances. Wall VK Coat retains its durability even after cleaning with other wipes.

Major companies in the antiviral and antimicrobial coatings market are strategically expanding their facilities to meet the growing demands of their customer base. The Sherwin-Williams Company, for instance, has embarked on a significant expansion of its architectural paint and coatings manufacturing capacity to cater to the increasing demand for its products. In February 2022, the company announced a $300 million investment for the expansion project, which includes the construction of an 800,000-square-foot distribution and fleet transportation center with an additional 200,000 square feet available for future expansion. Additionally, a 36,000-square-foot extension of the existing 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and four new rail spurs are planned. This expansion in Statesville not only showcases Sherwin-Williams' commitment to the community and customers but also reflects the strength of the public-private collaboration between the company and the state of North Carolina, Iredell County, and the city of Statesville.

In January 2022, Polygiene Group AB, a Swedish chemical company, acquired SteriTouch Ltd. in an undisclosed deal. This strategic acquisition serves to enhance Polygiene's portfolio, bringing diversity and enrichment, and positioning the company for increased market share in antimicrobial products for plastics, coatings, and paints. SteriTouch Ltd., a UK-based global provider, specializes in highly effective antimicrobial additives for plastics, paints, coatings, silicone, rubber, and textiles.
