Growth Factors

The increasing use of superhydrophobic coatings in the electronics sector is a major factor driving market growth. These coatings are used to protect delicate electronic components from moisture damage, thereby enhancing product durability and reducing repair and replacement costs. Furthermore, they offer properties such as anti-fingerprint, anti-soiling, and self-cleaning capabilities, making them suitable for high-precision applications.

With the rising global demand for consumer electronics and gadgets, the application of these coatings is expected to increase further during the forecast period. Among the various end-user industries, the electrical and electronics segment is forecasted to witness the fastest growth rate, presenting significant opportunities for market participants.

In addition, the solar energy sector, one of the fastest-growing industries globally, is contributing to the growing need for such coatings. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global solar PV capacity additions reached 107 GW in 2020, continuing the upward trend from 2019.

The IEA also projects that Europe’s net solar PV installations will gradually rise from 21 GW in 2021 to an average of 25 GW annually between 2023 and 2025. This trend is largely driven by increased government support aimed at achieving the European Union’s renewable energy target of 32% by 2030, under the Renewable Energy Directive. This push is expected to further drive demand for superhydrophobic coatings in the renewable energy sector.

Segmental Overview

The Superhydrophobic Coatings Market is categorized by product type and end-user segments. Based on end-user industry, the textiles and footwear segment held the largest market share in 2021 and is projected to maintain significant growth throughout the forecast period. Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted to develop fabrics that are resistant to water and stains. While raincoats have long incorporated such coatings, there is growing demand for self-cleaning textiles in various other applications.

Self-cleaning fabrics are capable of removing various types of stains through a catalytic process and perform significantly better than traditional materials in repelling dirt. The integration of these coatings in textile manufacturing also leads to reduced water and energy consumption during the cleaning process. In footwear applications, these coatings help reduce water absorption while maintaining breathability, and they prevent surfaces from becoming muddy or wet during outdoor activities. As a result, such footwear is increasingly favored by both professional and amateur athletes, particularly tennis players. These factors collectively contribute to the expansion of the textiles and footwear segment.

On the basis of product type, the anti-wetting segment held the largest share of the market in 2021. This growth is attributed to the advancements in coating technologies using oxide and polymer-based materials that offer exceptional water repellency. In marine applications, these coatings reduce water drag on ship hulls, leading to lower fuel costs and improved transportation efficiency. They also help minimize liquid adhesion on various manufacturing equipment.

Superhydrophobic coatings are applied to building façades, automotive parts, marine vessels, oil rigs, and submarines due to their excellent anti-wetting characteristics and ability to resist biofouling from algae and other marine organisms in saltwater environments.
