The superhydrophobic coating is made from composite materials where one component provides roughness, and another part provides low surface energy, thereby repelling water and acting as a coating between the environment & the substrate. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Superhydrophobic Coating market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like the usage of Superhydrophobic coating in the Textile & Footwear industry due to anti-wetting and self-cleaning properties are expected to drive the global Superhydrophobic Coatings market in the forecasted period. Further, the use of Superhydrophobic Coating in Automotive Industries for windshields, window glass, etc., is projected to drive the global superhydrophobic coating market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the increased use of Superhydrophobic Coatings in the healthcare industry due to their high resistivity to bacteria and other microorganisms is expected to drive the global Superhydrophobic market in the forecasted period. However, the high price, environmental effects, and weak durability of Superhydrophobic Coating are expected to hamper the growth of the worldwide superhydrophobic coating market in the forecasted period.
Superhydrophobic Coating is primarily used in textiles, footwear, roofs, doors, buildings, frames, handrails, barriers, pillars, vehicles, ships, etc. It can also be used to coat materials like Aluminium, Steel, Concrete, Glass, Plastic Substrate, etc.
The Primary use of Superhydrophobic Coatings is in the Textile & Footwear Industry. The desirable properties of Superhydrophobic Coatings like strain resistance and water repellent, which were used in raincoats, have started to enter the textile market, too, for self-cleaning textiles. Due to the self-cleaning properties, the material requires minimum washing resulting in saving water & energy. Due to the reduced washing, the material tends to be more durable & long-lasting. This kind of clothing is highly used in the medical industry as it avoids pathogens and microorganisms and reduces infections, disease, etc. These are the primary driving factors expected to drive the global Superhydrophobic Coatings market. Further, the use of Superhydrophobic Coating in the footwear industry has increased significantly, preventing the footwear from getting wet & muddy. Increasing population and focus on quality footwear for the office, sportswear, and casual wear are expected to drive the global Superhydrophobic Coatings market. These factors are evaluated to drive the growth of the Global Superhydrophobic Coatings market.
The Asia-Pacific region is awaited to be a market leader as it is one of the fastest-growing markets for Superhydrophobic Coating. China and India are the world's top textile Industries driving the market for Superhydrophobic coating in the region. Other than China and India, even countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc., are some of the significant textile exporters in the Asia Pacific region. A superhydrophobic coating is a microscopically thin layer that can be applied to various surfaces and thus provide them with water-repellent. The superhydrophobic coating is a form of nanotechnology that could be utilized in multiple industrial domains like aerospace, automotive, marine, electronics, etc. It can be applied to various products and materials such as building & construction materials, textiles, and more. Growing adoption of hydrophobic coating across different industrial domains, increasing utilization of hydrophobic coatings in catheters and guidewires, and growing demand for anti-corrosive coating in the marine structures are the several factors that help boost the demand of the market. Further, using Superhydrophobic Coatings in the automotive industry for vehicle windshields to prevent raindrops from clinging to the glass and removing salt deposits is expected to drive the market in this region. Nano coating formula holds both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. Its application to vehicle paintwork will give you that "superhydrophobic" visual effect and superior scratch & abrasion resistance. Nano Coatings are designed to provide protection and gloss that will surpass even the most particular client's expectations. Nano Coating formulation will attract water (hydrophilic) and encapsulate dust or other debris. Then the hydrophobic portion will repel the combined dirt and water from the car, thereby making it self-cleaning. This dual layering is needed to create an impressive 3-D effect on the paintwork. The rise in demand for superhydrophobic coatings in consumer electronics, semiconductors, and other electronic components. The rapidly growing electronics and telecommunication sector in the Asia Pacific also contributes to the market growth during the forecast period. The building & construction, and automotive sectors are some of the most prominent application areas of superhydrophobic coatings. Superhydrophobic coatings are used owing to their superior compatibility with concrete, ceramics, masonry, and composite substrates. Superhydrophobic coatings are also widely worn in waterproofing applications on cement walls, ceramic floors, wall tiles, roofs, etc., in interior and exterior constructions. Furthermore, Superhydrophobic coating on ship hulls reduces skin friction drag, increasing fuel efficiency. This elevates the speed and range of the ship while decreasing the fuel cost. The coating can also reduce corrosion and prevent marine organisms from growing on the ship's hull. These are some of the primary factors expected to drive the Superhydrophobic market in this region. Moreover, the bacterial resistance of Superhydrophobic Coating has increased its usage in the medical industry for surgical tools, equipment, etc. Thus, factors like these have made Asia-Pacific an essential scope for the global Superhydrophobic Coating market.
Some of the market's key players are NEI Corporation, Rust-Oleum, P2i Ltd, Cytonicx LLC, Lotus Leaf Coatings, and Henkel AG & Co.
In Sept 2021, Researchers from the University of Central Florida developed an Organic Nano-Material capable of repelling water.
In Dec 2020, Researchers from the University of Georgia developed a hydrophobic coating to Prevent Infections.
