A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Anti-fog
Coatings Market.
The study, titled “Anti-fog
Coatings Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Anti-fog
coatings are a type of hydrophilic coatings which contain polyvinyl
alcohol in their formulation. These coatings help disperse small
droplets of fog formed due to the condensation of water and are
therefore also known as non-mist coatings. Anti-fog coatings are
transparent, abrasion-resistant, and durable in nature; and thus do
not degrade even after extensive usage. They provide high chemical &
UV resistance and adhesion even in humid weather conditions. Anti-fog
coatings are used in the building & construction, automotive,
aviation & aerospace, electronics, military & security, and
medical & safety industries. In the military & security
sector, they are typically employed in military gas masks, garage
forecourt gauge covers, and fireman’s visors. Anti-fog coatings are
extremely safe and typically find application in protective sunglass
& sports eyewear, as they are durable even after prolonged
exposure to water vapor. Other applications include cameras, watches,
TV monitors, medical electronic displays, traffic signal lenses,
windows, side mirrors, and commercial freezers.

Report Preview:
Based
on substrate, the global anti-fog coatings market can be segregated
into the following types: acrylic, glass, PET (polyester film),
polycarbonate (PC), and polyamide. Demand for anti-fog coatings
particularly for acrylic, polyamide, and glass substrates is expected
to rise at a significant rate over the forecast period due to the
rising demand for protective eyewear, interior headlamps, and
automotive gauges applications. Based on product type, the anti-fog
coatings market is further segmented into the PVA, PAA, LDPE, EVA,
PEG, and PVC divisions. Demand for PEG followed by PVA and PAA is
anticipated to rise significantly during the forecast period.
PEG-based products possess excellent anti-fog properties and are thus
widely employed in various industries.
Rising
growth in various end-use industries coupled with the characteristics
of anti-fog coatings are some of the prime factors driving this
market. Protective eyewear, automotive & aviation, sports &
recreation, and optical imaging equipment are a few potential
applications of anti-fog coatings. Rising demand for protective
safety wear in the military and medical industries coupled with the
demand for it in automotive lightning to achieve safety standards
under harsh ambient atmospheres are propelling the anti-fog coatings
market. These coatings have gained popularity due to their ability to
reduce light scattering; however, in aggressive weather conditions,
they may exhibit non-uniform properties and form frost which may
hinder the market over the forecast period. Continuous R&D and
focus on building blended PVA- and PAA-based coatings create various
opportunities for the manufacturer to provide coatings in frost as
well as fog conditions. Nano-based anti-fog coatings have also
received wide attention over the past few years due to their high
optical properties.
Geographically,
the global market for anti-fog coatings has been distributed over
Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. North America is a leading region in terms of their
consumption followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, due to the increased
usage of digital gadgets and protective sunglasses & sportswear
in the region. Rising demand for colored sunglasses in the fields of
fashion and cosmetics is motivating the anti-fog coatings market in
Europe. Furthermore, the growing population and consumer inclination
to enhance personal appearances typically in Asia Pacific play a
significant role. The increasing number of research activities toward
nano-based anti-fog coatings containing blended PAA and PEG are also
predicted to drive the anti-fog coatings market over the forecast
period.
Key
players operating in the global anti-fog coatings market include
Optical Coating Technologies, FSI Coating Technologies, 3M Company,
Peerless Plastics & Coatings, TOCALO Co., Ltd, and Mitsui
Chemicals.
