However, ongoing research and innovation in coating technologies, such as nanotechnology and biodegradable materials, to improve safety and performance will continue to stimulate the market over the forecasted period.

Medical Device Coatings Market Trends:

Increasing Requirement for Antimicrobial Coatings

With increasing concerns about hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), antimicrobial coatings are gaining traction in the market. Catheters, wound dressings, and surgical equipment now have antimicrobial coatings to reduce bacterial growth and infection concerns. In April 2024, Onkos Surgical, an orthopedic company founded to address the complex clinical challenges associated with bone loss due to tumor, trauma, and revision surgery, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the company a De Novo approval for its novel antibacterial coated implants. Companies, such as DSM Biomedical and Biocoat, are leading medical device coating manufacturers providing advanced antimicrobial coatings.

Implementation of Drug-Eluting Coatings

Drug-eluting coatings, which slowly release therapeutic substances over time, are increasingly being employed on stents and other implants. These coatings aid in healing by distributing medication directly to surrounding tissue, lowering the likelihood of problems such as restenosis (re-narrowing of blood vessels) and infections. In May 2024, Abbott announced the launch of XIENCE Sierra Everolimus (drug) eluting coronary stent system in India.

Growing Usage of Hydrophilic Coatings

Hydrophilic coatings are commonly utilized in cardiovascular and urological devices to improve mobility and reduce friction during insertion, hence making operations less invasive and more comfortable for patients. In May 2024, Hydromer Inc., a worldwide supplier of hydrophilic coatings for medical devices, launched HydroThrombX. This is a new and improved version of its legacy F200 product to aid in the prevention of restenosis.
