The term smart coating refers to the concept of coatings being able to sense their environment and make an appropriate response to that stimulus. The standard thinking regarding coatings has been as a passive layer unresponsive to the environment. Smart coatings are made of programmable materials with a variety of physical, chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. The materials can respond to changes in light, pressure, chemical, heat and other stimuli. The coatings are categorized according to functional components, fabrication methods, their application and more. Moreover, smart coatings represent a niche market, but this market will become increasingly important because of the improved product demands from customers.

Smart Coatings Market Outlook

Factors such as growing demand from end-use industries and superior properties of smart coatings are driving the smart coatings market. In addition, advanced properties such as self-healing, self-cleaning and corrosion resistance is also the factor driving the smart coatings market. However, environmental regulations is one of the major factor hampering the growth of smart coatings market globally.
