• The growing and aging population worldwide (65 years +) demands more operating room time, which in turn creates greater and growing demand for efficacious and high-throughput sterilization methods, including the need for antimicrobial coated devices and equipment.

• Among all the antimicrobial coatings, silver and copper based coatings are the most extensively used materials. Nevertheless, organic coatings coming into picture, the status will change in the future.

• The higher new techniques assure higher resistance for microban, for the consumer which will make the substitution easy with continuous technological development. 

• The market usually suffers if the price war for consumers and the quality reliability factor take a backseat. So, market competitive one with top companies are competing on price front of the product. This will bring an upsurge if one and all can able to accept.
