A good set of furniture not only needs to have its own functional attributes, but also sufficient added value to make consumers feel satisfied; Buy it;. For example, when buying an aluminum table and chair for a child, in addition to the product's functions, parents also require attractive colors, appropriate height, and comfortable touch; If the merchant's; Selling point” Adding a little more antibacterial effect, then; Value” Immediately different. After all, nothing can compare to; Ensure the health of children; More attention from a mother.


For manufacturers themselves, the high added value of products is also related to the brand charm of the enterprise, which means attention, favorability, and popularity, and also determines the market share of the product. So, how can companies increase the added value of their products while saving costs? Antibacterial powder coatings can effectively help companies meet this requirement. The morphology characterization of antibacterial agents shows that the surface of molecular sieves is covered with a large amount of nano silver antibacterial powder coating, which is developed by adding a certain amount of antibacterial material to the powder coating. The coating has antibacterial properties.


At present, the types of silver additives rely on; Good antibacterial effect and long duration; Having the advantage of occupying the majority of the global antibacterial powder coating market, it is widely used in hygiene conscious environments such as hospitals, clinics, changing rooms, schools, and public transportation. Winter is a period when influenza is prone to occur, and both adults and children should pay attention to health and hygiene. Antibacterial powder coating can help maintain the surface hygiene and cleanliness of daily contact items (such as doors, windows, counters, door handles, air conditioning and ventilation systems, furniture, electronic products, etc.) throughout the year, limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses, and molds, and solve the invisible threat of cross infection. At the same time, powder coating minimizes unpleasant odors to the greatest extent possible, avoiding the trouble of material degradation. The most important thing is that the powder coating has rich colors and is suitable for product design! And powder coating can easily achieve sufficient coating thickness, saving production costs for enterprises! The work that won the international design award using powder coating spraying, although newly made, has no odor or formaldehyde; The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys;, The many advantages of antibacterial powder coatings have greatly promoted their own development. The increasing demand for antibacterial powder coatings in various fields such as healthcare, HVAC systems, and household appliances has driven the growth of market size.


According to a recent study, the global antibacterial powder coating market was approximately 1.5 billion US dollars in 2020 and is expected to reach 2.7 billion US dollars by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of up to 12% during this period, showing a strong development trend. Especially in the recent outbreak of public health incidents, strict control of public places is required to reduce the risk of contact and promote people's further awareness of antibacterial measures. During the global spread of the virus, antibacterial powder coatings were applied to door handles, bed frames, wheelchairs, guardrails, elevators, carts, medical equipment, and other places in medical institutions, which played a positive role in combating the virus. Through this battle, people's attention to antibacterial powder coatings continues to rise, and antibacterial powder coatings are expected to achieve significant growth in the medical and health field. According to analysis, the market value of antibacterial coatings in the medical field is expected to exceed 1.9 billion US dollars by 2026.


In addition, air conditioning and ventilation systems (HVAC) and the construction industry are also important growth points for antibacterial powder coatings in the future. It is understood that with the increasing demand for people's quality of life, the construction and renovation of buildings are showing a rising trend year by year. The concern for school environmental safety is becoming increasingly strong, and environmentally friendly antibacterial powder coatings do not release toxic substances and can be applied to structures such as classrooms, corridors, and guardrails in schools to reduce the spread of bacteria. On the other hand, with the increasing awareness of air quality in developed countries, the installation demand for air conditioning and ventilation systems (HVAC) in residential, commercial, public institutions, industrial production and other places has significantly increased.

At the same time, many government agencies and industry organizations have established strict standards and regulations for indoor air quality requirements. HVAC manufacturers are enthusiastic about using antibacterial powder coatings for surface coating in order to suppress the growth of mold and other bacteria and reduce maintenance costs of HVAC systems. It is worth noting that air conditioning and ventilation systems (HVAC) have dominated the market in the past few years. From 2020 to 2025, this application field is also expected to become the fastest-growing product. Therefore, the institution expects that the main sales market for air conditioning and ventilation systems (HVAC) will be& mdash; North America is expected to lead the global antibacterial powder coating market in the coming years. Next are Europe (including Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Russia, etc.) and the Asia Pacific region (China, Brazil, India). The former is due to the increase in people's awareness of food hygiene, indoor air quality and safety, and health in the region, while the latter is due to the increase in GDP growth rate and consumer disposable income. Data shows that by 2025, the scale of European antibacterial coatings promoted by France, the United Kingdom, and Germany will exceed 1.45 billion US dollars; The market size of antibacterial coatings in the Asia Pacific region, driven by India, Japan, and China, has exceeded 700 million US dollars as early as 2018. The huge market for antibacterial coatings has presented opportunities for major players in the entire market, with multiple heavyweight powder coating companies launching their own antibacterial products. For example, foreign brands include Tiger and AkzoNobel. According to Luo Biao, CEO of Tiger Surface Technology New Materials (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Tiger's antibacterial powder coating has three major characteristics: (1) resistance and killing effect on bacteria in the living environment; (2) The function is long-lasting and can maintain its effectiveness for several weeks to several years; (3) Maintain a clean living environment in microbiology for a long time. At present, this antibacterial powder coating is mainly used on the metal surfaces of nursing desks, treatment cabinets, nursing carts, medical furniture, guide tables, pharmacy drug racks and cabinets, as well as matching hardware accessories and door handles in hospitals, to inhibit the survival of bacteria in direct contact with people. The ventilation system, pipes, and surface protection of metal walls in hospital buildings can also be used. In addition, AkzoNobel's antibacterial Interpon AM series also demonstrates high antibacterial properties. It can reduce 99.99% of bacteria and mold on protected surfaces and has excellent decorative properties. 2350 door handles were once designated for a clinic in Abu Dhabi.
