Research and Markets: Global Market for Anti-Microbial Nanocoatings 2014

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vd23nw/the_global_market) has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Anti-Microbial Nanocoatings" report to their offering.

New legislation and growing microbial resistance against metal ions, antibiotics and the development of resistant strains has resulted in coating manufacturers seeking alternatives to traditional anti-microbial coatings.

The development of anti-microbial agents with low toxicity and ability to inhibit microbial contamination is a key issue in the development of new coatings for healthcare, packaging and food and pharmaceutical production. The ability of nanoparticles to met these has lead to their increased use in these and numerous other markets.

Key Topics Covered:

1. ANTI-MICROBIAL NANOCOATINGS

- Market summary, commercially available anti-microbial agents, market needs and the role of nanomaterials.

2. MARKET DRIVERS

- Market drivers for anti-microbial nanocoatings in medical, food, water, consumer electronics and textile sectors.

3. PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

- Improvements over existing materials offered by nanosilver, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles, nanocellulose, copper nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterials and nanochitosan.

4. COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

- Global revenues, estimated to 2024, for anti-microbial nanocoatings in automotive (displays, glass surfaces, textiles), construction (rails, exterior steel surfaces, anti-mould and mildew), consumer electronics (touch panels), household care/cleaning/sanitary, textiles, food processing & packaging and medical sectors.

5. COMPANIES

- Profiles of 31 anti-microbial nanocoatings companies including products, targeted markets and contact details.
