Smart Coating Market Strategic Outlook
Films that are made of unique programmable materials with pre-defined variety of physical, chemical, electrical and mechanical properties that are capable of changing in response to external conditions, including electric current, light, and pressure are called smart coatings. Ideally, smart coatings are capable of customization to meet the specific requirements of clients. There are various parameters to categorize these smart coatings such as functional components, fabrication methods, self-healing and cleaning, microcapsule healing, anticorrosion coatings and more. There are no specific set of norms for smart coatings. End use of the coating application decides materials selection and intrinsic properties of a smart coating.

Antimicrobial coatings have extended their applicability in residential, medical purposes, textile and food segments, wherein protection against bacterial and fungal growth has become significant in recent years. Customized surface engineering-related coatings segment typically deliver electrical insulation, thermal insulation, wear resistance and maintain the original dimensional, electronic, and magnetic properties of the substrate to withstand extreme physical, chemical and mechanical environments. Also, very specialized hard coatings are generally used on valves employed in the oil and gas industry.
Europe is expected to be the largest Smart Coating Market during the forecast period by value followed by North America and Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific region is anticipated to see double-digit growth during the forecast period due to increasing domestic demand from end-user industries, especially in developing countries such as China and India. Europe and North America are expected to witness marginal growth during the forecast period. The ability of smart coatings to detect and prevent corrosion as well as other surface protection and environmentally friendly character makes it widely useable in medical, military, textile, transport, construction, electronics and other industries. This will boost the market globally.
