Nanocoatings Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rapid Advancements in Nanocoatings- The transition from conventional coating to nanocoatings for various applications across several verticals has emerged as an efficient and economical technique for excellent protection against corrosion and biofouling. Over the years, continuous advancements in nanotechnology has resulted in the development of unique nanocoatings formulations, improving their performance and expanding their usage. For instance, in April 2024, a research team from TU Wien and Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy announced the launch of special titanium oxide nanoparticles, that can add to any wall paint to establish self-cleaning power.
Another instance was in January 2021, when Nasiol, a hydrophobic nano ceramic coatings manufacturer announced the launch of three renewed nanocoatings products to protect electronic devices, footwear, clothes, and other accessories against several damages. - Growing demand for nanocoatingss for solar panels- Nanocoated solar panels can increase the amount of light that is absorbed and converted into power by reducing light reflection. Dust and dirt do not stay on the solar panels due to its hydrophobic properties. The demand for nanocoated solar panels has drastically increased and key players are investing to enhance the solar panel manufacturing facility.
Challenges
- Fluctuating prices of raw materials and high cost of manufacturing- Though the raw materials needed for manufacturing nanocoatingss vary depending upon the application, nanoparticles such as silica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, along with binders, resins, solvents, and UV stabilizers are commonly used. The costs associated with these materials also vary depending on the application and technology. In addition, the production of nanocoatingss requires sophisticated technology and equipment that ensures uniform particle dispersion and coating application. These are key factors that can negatively impact the market growth going ahead.
- Competition from alternatives- The prices of conventional coatings are much lower than those of nanocoatingss. Thus, consumers prefer other lower upfront costs, especially for projects with tight budgets. Moreover, conventional coatings are widely available at several suppliers and manufacturers, making them easy to source and purchase.

Nanocoatings Segmentation
Type (Anti-fingerprint, Anti-microbial, Anti-corrosion, Abrasion & Wear Resistance, Anti-fouling, Self-cleaning, UV Resistance, Anti-icing, Thermal Barrier & Flame Retardant Conductive)
In terms of type, the self-cleaning segment in the nanocoatings market is anticipated to witness a revenue share of 16.5% during the forecast period owing to rising demand for self-cleaning nanocoatings across various sectors such as electronics, energy, food & packaging, construction, marine industry, military & defense, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare due to its unique properties including super-hydrophilic, photocatalytic, and anti-static.
One of the recent advancements in protective nanocoatingss is the transparent and self-cleaning coatings that are used for several applications such as foldable touchscreens, solar panels, and widows. Self-cleaning nanocoatingss reduce the overall maintenance costs and increase the lifespan of the products. For instance, various types of self-healing nanocoatingss such as polymer-based, nanocapsule-based, and nanoclay-based are widely used in vehicles to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal as these protect against scratches, UV rays, and corrosion, and provide a high-glow finish.
Application (Healthcare, Transportation, Automotive, Aerospace, Textiles, Construction, Electronics, Food & Packaging, Energy, Marine)
Based on applications, the electronics segment is expected to register fast-paced growth during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to rising need for advanced solutions to protect electronic devices and increasing research activities for developing advanced nanocoatings technology for electronic devices. Nanocoatings systems are used for mass production of several electronic devices including PCBs (printed circuit boards). Nanocoatingss safeguard the PCSs through their ultra-hydrophobic properties including, blocking moisture and repelling liquid and coating flexibility that provides uniform coverage to complicated 3D structures, minimally impacting the performance.
The recent advancements in nanotechnology and the emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have opened doors for innovation. For instance, in October 2023, Specialty Coating Systems, a KISCO Company announced the development of a low-pressure plasma polymerized coating system that supports the deposit of nanocoatingss on substrate materials.
