Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Global Hydrophilic Coatings Market Research Report.

Market Overview:

Hydrophilic Coatings Market is segmented by the substrate into polymers, glass & ceramics, metals, nanoparticles, and others. Among these, the polymers substrate is the leading segment owing to the properties such as resistance to protein absorption and prevention of swelling when exposed to body fluids or tissues. Moreover, it offers excellent lubrication facilitating their smooth application and removal. The metals substrate segment includes aluminum, platinum, nickel, stainless steel, and others. The increasing demand for the aluminum metal substrate in lightweight and efficient automotive has augmented the market growth. The nanoparticles segment is anticipated to grow significantly due to the rapidly increasing use of nanotechnology and nanoparticles in application industries. This growth can be attributed to the physical, optical, electronic, chemical, and biomedical properties of nanoparticles. The growing health awareness, availability of better healthcare amenities coupled with high disposable income is likely to propel the market growth over the assessment period.

Hydrophilic coatings are adopted for lubrication enhancement and reduction of the frictional coefficient. These coatings are widely applied to various medical devices such as cannulas, catheters, and guide wires used in non-invasive surgeries including laparoscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery, among others.
