Global Medical Coatings Market: Overview

Medical devices need special protection in order to operate effectively. Bodily fluids, electrical charges, contamination, and moisture make these medical devices ineffective and useless. Medical coatings sterilize various types of substrates including silicone rubber, glass, ceramics, metals, and plastics. Physico–mechanical coating consists physico–mechanical properties, electrical barrier properties, moisture, chemical and tribological properties.

Due to the increasing prevalence of medical devices and the corresponding elevated risk of infections, the worldwide market for coatings on medical devices is anticipated to experience consistent growth in the forecasted period. Presently, among the various types of medical devices coated, class III devices dominate the majority of the overall medical device coating market. Class III devices encompass high-risk medical devices like pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, renal stents, and coronary stents.

Global Medical Coatings Market: Growth Factors

Medical coatings optimize the performance of the medical devices and strengthen the product surface function. These coatings assist in lessening friction between tissues and devices and offers coating homogeneity, wetting, and surface coverage. Most of the medical devices need non-stick coatings over biocompatible, electrical insulation, molded, and others, thus augmenting the medical coatings market growth. The medical industry is growing significantly which in turn is contributing to the increase in the demand for the medical coatings in the global market. Life-saving devices are in high demand in the developing economies which contributes to the medical coatings market growth. Conversely, low shelf life, availability of substitutes, rising costs, product aging, and varying government regulations may hinder the growth of the market.

Recent Development

• In November 2025, a U.S. federal judge allowed GTCR BC Holdings LLC to proceed with its approximately $627 million acquisition of Surmodics Inc., a medical-device coatings manufacturer. The ruling addressed FTC antitrust concerns in the hydrophilic coatings market, noting that proposed divestitures and competitive factors mitigated potential competition issues.
• In August 2024, Biocoat Incorporated was granted a patent for its “Lumen Coating Method and Apparatus”, a novel thermal-cure hydrophilic coating technique designed for the inner diameter (lumen) of medical devices. This technology is applied to catheters and other devices used across specialties, including cardiology and neurology.
• In June 2024, Freudenberg Medical announced plans to expand its drug-device combination products business with an investment of over US$50 million in a new Hemoteq AG production facility in Aachen, Germany. The expansion aims to meet growing demand for hydrophilic coatings for medical devices and components.
• In October 2023, Surmodics, Inc. launched Preside™ hydrophilic coatings, an advanced medical device coating technology. Complementing its existing Serene coatings, Preside™ provides low particulate and low friction properties to enhance distal access in neurovascular applications.
• In September 2023, Harland Medical Systems, Inc. opened a new office in Israel, demonstrating its commitment to expanding global operations and enhancing customer service in the medical device coatings sector.
