By Application, the General surgery segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the medical devices industry, the imperative for producing devices free from pathogens and microbes is paramount. Failure to adequately coat medical devices can result in Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs), which are a leading cause of patient mortality in numerous countries. HAIs are caused by a range of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens, with common types including bloodstream infections, pneumonia (including ventilator-associated pneumonia), urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections. The escalating incidence of HAIs is driving the demand for antimicrobial coatings in the medical devices sector. These coatings are essential for treatments, surgeries, and implants to prevent the growth of microorganisms and ensure patient safety.

By Type, Antimicrobial coating  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the medical devices industry, the surging demand for surgical procedures is driven by demographic factors, including an aging population and rising birth rates, as well as advancements in medical technologies. This trend leads to increased utilization of essential surgical instruments such as forceps, spatulas, retractors, clamps, suction tubes, and needle holders. Additionally, sophisticated and expensive surgical equipment, including surgical robots, require specialized coatings for optimal performance. The medical sector encompasses various device applications, including bariatric surgery, biopsy, aesthetics, endoscopy, gynecology, hernia repair, non-vascular stents, and surgical energy. The growing focus on early disease diagnosis, particularly cancer, is fueling the demand for surgeries and, consequently, the need for coatings for general surgery devices.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024
