Superhydrophobic coatings are nanocoatings that are manufactured by using nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, and graphene as key raw materials. These coatings exhibit outstanding water repellent property and provide protection from microbial growth, corrosion, dust, oil spills, water, and other liquids. Electronics & telecommunication, automotive, textile & leather, building & construction, and medical & health care are the major end-user segments of the global superhydrophobic coatings market. In terms of volume, electronics & telecommunication segment held the largest share of the superhydrophobic coatings market in 2015. However, textile & leather is anticipated to offer considerable growth prospects during the forecast period. The outlook for the superhydrophobic coatings market appears positive in major countries such as the U.S., Germany, and China during the forecast period, owing to the intensifying consumption of these coatings in electronics & telecommunication, building & construction, and automotive industries.
