Nanocoatings Market size was over USD 15.72 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 114.47 billion by 2037, witnessing more than 16.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of nanocoatings is estimated at USD 17.8 billion.
The growth of the global market can be attributed to the rapidly expanding building and construction sector and high demand for advanced coating materials in construction. Over the years, construction activities across the globe have drastically increased as a result of rising pollution and urbanization. Nanocoatings is widely used in construction activities as it provides excellent protection against extreme environmental factors such as moisture, pollutants, and UV radiation, thereby extending the lifespan of building materials.
Moreover, they can improve the overall appearance of surfaces, providing a smoother and glossy finish, compared to conventional coatings used in the construction sector. Different types of coatings such as self-cleaning, anti-graffiti, thermal insulators, and anti-bacterial coatings are widely used in modern constructions.
Leading companies are coming up with novel techniques and products, further fueling the market growth. For instance, in July 2023, HeatCure announced its operations in India with the launch of nanotechnology-based glass coating products that block heat gain from glass doors, facades, and windows and also protect against infrared and ultraviolet rays.

In terms of type, the self-cleaning segment in the nanocoatings market is anticipated to witness a revenue share of 16.5% during the forecast period owing to rising demand for self-cleaning nanocoatings across various sectors such as electronics, energy, food & packaging, construction, marine industry, military & defense, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare due to its unique properties including super-hydrophilic, photocatalytic, and anti-static.
One of the recent advancements in protective nanocoatingss is the transparent and self-cleaning coatings that are used for several applications such as foldable touchscreens, solar panels, and widows. Self-cleaning nanocoatingss reduce the overall maintenance costs and increase the lifespan of the products. For instance, various types of self-healing nanocoatingss such as polymer-based, nanocapsule-based, and nanoclay-based are widely used in vehicles to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal as these protect against scratches, UV rays, and corrosion, and provide a high-glow finish.
Application (Healthcare, Transportation, Automotive, Aerospace, Textiles, Construction, Electronics, Food & Packaging, Energy, Marine)
Based on applications, the electronics segment is expected to register fast-paced growth during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to rising need for advanced solutions to protect electronic devices and increasing research activities for developing advanced nanocoatings technology for electronic devices. Nanocoatings systems are used for mass production of several electronic devices including PCBs (printed circuit boards). Nanocoatingss safeguard the PCSs through their ultra-hydrophobic properties including, blocking moisture and repelling liquid and coating flexibility that provides uniform coverage to complicated 3D structures, minimally impacting the performance.
The recent advancements in nanotechnology and the emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have opened doors for innovation. For instance, in October 2023, Specialty Coating Systems, a KISCO Company announced the development of a low-pressure plasma polymerized coating system that supports the deposit of nanocoatingss on substrate materials.
