Furthermore, increasing applications of glass substrate in the automotive, marine, healthcare, and aerospace industries are expected to propel the growth of the hydrophilic coatings market during the forecast period.
Key Takeaways of the Market:
• North America dominated the global hydrophilic coatings market by US$ 3.59 billion in 2016. The region is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.37% in terms of revenue during the forecast period (2017 - 2025). The dominance is majorly attributed to the wide application of hydrophilic coatings across industries including healthcare, automotive, and aerospace. The steadily growing automotive sector in the region is largely supporting the growth of this market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2016, a total of 2,370,271 vehicles were manufactured alone in Canada including cars and commercial vehicles, which resulted in a significant growth of the hydrophilic coatings market due to its wide application in car windshields and rear-view mirrors.
• Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing market, witnessing the highest CAGR of 8.83% during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for hydrophilic coatings from the healthcare sector. In addition to this, the rapidly growing geriatric population in East Asia is further aiding to the growth of this market. According to the World Bank, the population in East Asia is aging faster than any region and by 2060, around 20% of the world's geriatric population is expected to be in East Asia. Furthermore, the geriatric population holds a fair share of the total population in some of the wealthiest economies such as Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. Increasing healthcare spending in these economies would pose a positive impact on the growth of the hydrophilic coatings market in these economies.
• Major players operating in the global hydrophilic coatings market include SurModics Inc., Aculon Inc., Surface Solutions Group LLC, Hydromer Inc., Teleflex Incorporated, AdvanSource Biomaterials Corp., Koninklijke DSM N.V., Covalon Technologies Ltd., and Harland Medical Devices.
