Powder Coating is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder on the surface of a substrate. It does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. It is mainly used for metal coating such as household appliances, aluminum extrusions, drum hardware medical equipment, and automobile parts. The Antimicrobial Powder Coating is a highly engineered material synthesized to mimic antimicrobial peptides which are used by the immune systems of living things to kill bacteria and other pathogens. It exhibits the ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoans. The major applications of Antimicrobial Powder Coatings can be found in paints and coatings, in medical equipment, sanitary facilities, and indoor air conditioning systems. As of 2016, over 90% of the medical instruments and devices are disinfected prior to use to prevent hospital acquired infections (HAI), which may boost the demand for the product as a protective and hygienic coating. Growing concern regarding the prevention of contamination risk in the medical equipment may fuel growth of the antimicrobial coating market. The key players in the Global Antimicrobial Powder Coating Market are adopting the mergers & acquisitions, expansions, contracts & agreements, along with huge investments in R&D, which may propel the growth of the global market over the forecast period.
