BioCote comments on the growing antimicrobial paints and coatings market

摘要

According to a report by Grand View Research*,the global antimicrobial coatings market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.8 per cent from 2020 to 2027-and antimicrobial additives provider BioCote has reported an unprecedented increase in revenue over the last year-with many of its customers requiring antimicrobial paints and coatings.David Hall,managing director of BioCote,comments:”Demand for products containing integrated antimicrobial additives,which significantly reduce the growth of a wide range of microbes,is increasing.In recent times,and particularly over the past year,people have become much more aware that everyday objects and surfaces can harbour microbes.To help prevent cross-contamination,we are all spending more time washing our hands and sanitising the surfaces we touch and the products we use-but antimicrobial additives,which can be manufactured into a wide range of products,including paints and coatings,are becoming more popular too.Supporting stringent cleaning regimes and good hand hygiene practices,antimicrobial technology makes surfaces easier to keep clean.”The Grand View Research antimicrobial coatings report suggests growing concern regarding cleanliness in various industries has led to increased demand.And it is a significant market for us.Our sales have been rising over several years,and,as you might expect,there has been a dramatic surge in enquiries since March 2020".
