The construction sector is also benefitting from nano coatings to protect buildings and the environment with reduced maintenance costs, and improved energy efficiency. The shift towards lightweight materials is increasing the adoption of nanocoatings as they provide effective protection without adding significant weight. Rapid technology advancements and investments in R&D activities are further creating new high-performance nano-coatings to cater to diverse applications.
Nanocoatings generally contain low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to conventional coatings, making them eco-friendly and compatible to meet stringent environment regulations. The medical and healthcare industries are using nano coatings for their antibacterial and antiviral properties as they are essential to maintain hygiene standards and prevent infection. For instance, in March 2023, Amcor partnered with Nfinite Nanotechnology for research on applying nanocoating technology to enhance oxygen barrier in recyclable packaging.
However, high administrative costs and technical difficulties associated with the manufacturing process may hinder the demand for nano coatings. The production of nano-coatings requires significant investment in R&D, equipment as well as skilled labor. The rising concerns about the health and environmental effects of nanoparticles could also restraint regulatory approval and increase compliance costs.
