Hydrophilic Coatings Market is predicted to grow at a healthy CAGR between 2017-2027, reveals the latest Market Research Future (MRFR) report. Hydrophilic coatings are used for enhancing lubricity and reducing surface friction. It is basically water-loving, which means this readily wets out the moment it is exposed to moisture. The urology and cardiology sector have largely benefitted from such coatings, which are durable and biocompatible. Moreover, it is biomedically safe compared to non-hydrophilic coated lubricants and comprises of antimicrobial properties which are not present in other coatings. Besides, these coatings possess a multipurpose capacity and offer cost-effective perks such as infection-fighting functions and enhanced functionality.



Various factors are propelling the hydrophilic coatings market growth. These factors, as stated by the latest Market Research Future (MRFR) report, include the growing demand in various applications including optical, marine, automotive, and medical devices and equipment due to its alluring characteristics, growing demand in biomedical applications, increasing use in anti-cleaning and anti-fog applications, and growing demand in medical and healthcare facilities. Additional factors pushing market growth include the availability of improved healthcare amenities, increasing awareness about new medical practices, rising income levels, increasing health awareness, and aging population.



On the flip side, low shelf life, fluctuation in raw material prices, and loss of lubrication due to continuous use are factors that may impede the hydrophilic coatings market growth over the forecast period.
