Hydrophilic Coating Market size was valued at USD 19.42 billion in 2025 and is set to exceed USD 33.17 billion by 2035, registering over 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of hydrophilic coating is estimated at USD 20.38 billion.
The growing demand for hydrophilic coatings is driven by several factors. In the medical field, an aging population contributes to the demand for medical devices with improved functionality. According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects report, the number of people aged 60 years or above is projected to more than double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion.
In addition to medical devices, hydrophilic coatings are used in other sectors as well. They are applied to optical lenses, glass surfaces, and mirrors to prevent fogging and improve visibility. Hydrophilic coatings can also be found in the automotive industry, where they are used on windshields, side mirrors, and headlights to repel water, enhance visibility during rain, and prevent water spots.
