亲水涂层是专门的保护屏障,旨在吸引和保留水分。 亲水涂层在需要用水或其他液体润湿或浸泡表面的应用中特别有用,并且被认为在均匀地涂抹在表面上时可以提高产品性能和耐用性,同时还提高了清洁的便利性以及表面的保养。 亲水涂层适用于汽车、光学、船舶、医疗器械等行业使用的聚合物、金属、玻璃和陶瓷、纳米颗粒基材。 由于亲水性涂料通常是水性的,并且比传统溶剂型涂料含有更少的挥发性有机化合物,因此对可持续和环保涂料的需求不断增长正在推动亲水性涂料的需求预计将增加。 此外,使用新材料和涂层技术来开发亲水涂层以提高润滑性、生物相容性和耐久性等性能,正在推动亲水涂层市场的增长。
亲水涂层广泛应用于各种汽车零件,如剎车片、转子和其他金属零件,以减少摩擦并提高润滑性,从而提高性能和寿命。 它通过减少维修和更换的需要来帮助延长这些部件的使用寿命。 此外,亲水涂层还可以用于汽车玻璃,由于其防雾效果,可以提高潮湿条件下的可视性。 汽车行业汽车消费量的增加预计将增加该行业亲水涂料的消费量。 例如,印度汽车製造商协会报告称,印度汽车行业的汽车年产量从2022年3月的23,046,660辆增加到2023年3月的25,931,867辆。
太阳能电池板涂层技术的增长预计将推动亲水涂层技术的发展,由于太阳能需求的不断增加,预计将带动对亲水涂层的需求。 例如,2022年3月,法国太阳能电池製造商Photowatt与法国化学公司Axcentive联合开发光活性纳米技术和自清洁技术,应用于整个太阳能电池组件,以防止阴雨天气时光散射。具有超亲水特性的新型涂料产□□品。 此外,清迈大学的科学家还开发出一种新型超亲水涂层,具有抗反射、光催化涂层和防污性能,通过钛丝将商用太阳能电池板的产量提高了6%。 纳米技术的进步带来了新型亲水涂层的进一步创新。 例如,2023 年 2 月,澳大利亚纳米技术公司 Nanovue 宣布推出一种新型多功能亲水纳米涂层,具有自清洁特性,可防止藻类生长并减少太阳能玻璃的表面碎片。 由于对可持续性的高需求,太阳能电池板和太阳能係统的消耗不断增加,以及太阳能係统中使用的最新涂层技术的发展预计将在预测期内刺激对亲水涂层的需求。
亲水涂层广泛应用于导管、导丝和支架等医疗器械中,以提高润滑性并减少插入和使用过程中的摩擦。 由于微创手术和医疗程序的需求不断增加,亲水涂层在医疗行业的需求量很大。 此外,亲水性涂料在抗菌和生物医学安全性以及抗感染特性带来的成本效益和多功能性方面比非亲水性涂料润滑剂具有相对优势。设备和仪器。
替代涂层技术,例如疏水涂层,可以应用于汽车玻璃,以防止雨滴阻碍能见度,从而限制亲水涂层的广泛消费。 此外,在某些应用(例如医疗器械)中开发和使用亲水涂层可能需要监管部门的批准,这可能会导致延误和额外成本,从而限制市场增长。
亚洲主要国家医疗器械和光学设备生产的增长预计将推动该地区的亲水涂层市场。 例如,IBEF透露,2021年印度医疗器械製造总量将达到120亿美元。 此外,中国、日本和韩国等国家的医疗保健和医疗器械行业也在扩张。 例如,2022年印度从中国进口的医疗设备价值为6320亿卢比,比2021年的4470.8亿卢比增长41%。
Hydrophilic coatings are specialized and protective barriers designed to attract and retain water content and moisture. They are particularly useful in applications where the surface needs to be damp or soaked in water or other liquids to facilitate an evenly spread application across a surface to improve the performance and durability of the product by simultaneously enhancing the ease of cleaning and maintaining such surfaces. Hydrophilic coatings are applied across polymer, metal, glass & ceramics, and nanoparticle substrates used in the automotive, optics, marine, medical devices & equipment, and other industries. The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly coatings is expected to increase the demand for hydrophilic coatings as hydrophilic coatings are often water-based and contain fewer volatile organic compounds than traditional solvent-based coatings. Further, the development of hydrophilic coatings using new materials and coating technologies to improve properties such as enhanced lubricity, biocompatibility, and durability is driving the growth of the hydrophilic coatings market.
Hydrophilic coatings are extensively adopted in the automotive sector across various automotive components such as brake pads, rotors, and other metal components to improve their performance and longevity by reducing friction and improving lubricity. They aid in extending the life of these components by reducing the need for repairs and replacements. In addition, hydrophilic coatings can also be used on automotive glass to improve visibility in wet conditions due to their anti-fog properties, which help to prevent water from beading up on the surface of the glass, reducing the probability of glare occurrence and improving road visibility. The expanding consumption of vehicles manufactured by the automotive sector is expected to increase the consumption of hydrophilic coatings across this sector. For instance, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers reported that the aggregate annual production of vehicles by the Indian automotive industry increased from 2,30,40,066 units in March 2022 to 2,59,31,867 units in March 2023.
The developments in hydrophilic coating technology fueled by the growth in solar panel coating technology are expected to promote the demand for hydrophilic coatings due to the rising demand for solar energy. For instance, in March 2022, Photowatt, a French company manufacturing PV cells, and Axcentive, a chemical company in France, collaborated to launch a new super-hydrophilic coating product with photoactive nanotechnology and self-cleaning properties to be applied across solar modules to prevent the scattering of light during rains. In addition, scientists at Chiang Mai University developed a new super hydrophilic coating with anti-reflective, photocatalytic coating, and anti-soiling properties to increase the yield of commercial solar panels by 6% through titanium wires. The advancements in nanotechnology are further leading to the innovation of new hydrophilic coatings. For instance, in February 2023, Nanovue, a nanotechnology company in Australia, introduced a new multifunctional hydrophilic nanocoating with self-cleaning properties to prevent algae growth and reduce surface debris across solar glass. The rising consumption of solar panels and systems driven by the high demand for sustainable and the recent coating technology developments to be used across solar systems are expected to stimulate the demand for hydrophilic coatings over the forecast period.
Hydrophilic coatings are extensively used in medical devices and equipment, such as catheters, guidewires, and stents, to improve lubricity and reduce friction during insertion and use. The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries and medical procedures results in a high demand for hydrophilic coatings in the medical industry. Further, the relative superiority of hydrophilic coatings over non-hydrophilic coated lubricants due to their antibacterial and biomedically safe qualities and the simultaneous advantage of cost-effectiveness and multifunctionality driven by its anti-infection properties is increasing its consumption across medical equipment and devices.
Substitute coating technologies such as hydrophobic coatings could be applied across vehicle glasses to prevent the raindrops from blocking the view, limiting the widespread consumption of hydrophilic coatings. Further, the development and use of hydrophilic coatings in certain applications, such as medical devices, could be subject to regulatory approval, resulting in delays and additional costs, leading to restricted market growth.
The growth in medical equipment and optics production across major Asian nations is expected to drive the hydrophilic coatings market in the region. For example, the IBEF revealed that the aggregate value of medical devices manufactured in India in 2021 amounted to US$12 billion. Further, countries like China, Japan, and South Korea are also witnessing an expanding healthcare and medical equipment sector. For instance, Chinese medical equipment imports to India amounted to Rs.63,200 crore in 2022, which increased by 41% from its value of Rs.44,708 crore in 2021.
