Growing demand for cardiovascular and orthopedic implants is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global coatings market for the industry. With the aging population, the demand for orthopaedic and cardiovascular implants has increased rapidly. Orthopedic joint replacement surgery includes knee and hip implants. For falls and arthrosis, orthopedic joint replacement is required. Osteoarthritis refers to joint inflammation due to cartilage degeneration, aging, genetics, or trauma. Orthopedic joint replacement implants are made of stainless steel, ceramic, or titanium with a coating of hydroxy hepatitis and ceramic materials.
Moreover, the demand for medical implants is increasing across the globe due to the rise in the number of patients suffering from cardiovascular, orthopedic, spinal cord, and dental diseases. The surging demand for implants will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increased awareness of minimally invasive surgeries will fuel the global coatings market growth for the the industry. Minimally invasive surgery is becoming more popular in hospitals due to its advantages, such as smaller incisions, greater safety, less scarring, and faster recovery. Smaller incisions result in less skin and soft tissue damage, less risk of infection, and less blood loss. It is more comfortable than traditional surgery because the hospital stay is shorter. It takes two weeks to recover from minimally invasive surgery, while recovery from conventional surgery takes six to eight weeks. Minimally invasive surgery is on the rise due to its low cost, low chance of infection, and short recovery time.
Moreover, 3D printing technology in medical devices and implants is gaining importance due to its ability to manufacture devices matched to the patient's anatomy or patient's specific devices. This technology helps the patients to recover fast and decreases inpatient charges. The performance of devices is directly dependent on the functionality of the coatings applied to them. The increasing use of this recent technology is increasing the demand for device coatings to keep the tools, organs, and implants safe from corrosion, bacteria, and microbes, which is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Stringent government regulations are the major challenge for the global coatings market growth for the medical devices industry. Governments and regulatory agencies impose strict regulations on coatings used in medical devices. Regulations vary by device, with higher-risk devices having stricter regulations. The US FDA has issued several regulations regarding the safety and efficacy of devices and coatings.
Moreover, the medical device industries must fulfill the required regulations to enter the market. In addition, every country has made some rules and regulations for medical device manufacturers to enter the market. These regulations are the major challenge for OEMs to remain in the market. With the increasing number of cases, the regulations for the use of coatings in devices are expected to become more stringent. Thus, stringent regulations imposed on coatings used in devices may impede market growth during the forecast period.
