The hydrophobic coating is a layer that is added to various surfaces to enable them to repel water at the microscopic level. It is made through manganese oxide polystyrene, zinc oxide polystyrene, carbon nanotube structures, and fluoropolymer coatings. They are used to make surfaces of electronic phones and gadgets among others prone to water repellent
The global hydrophobic coatings market report shed light o the present market conditions by holding over 280 hours of primary and secondary research. As per the report, the global hydrophobic coatings market is increasing its geographical boundaries rapidly. The global hydrophobic coatings market is valued at US $ xxx million dollars in 2018 which is anticipated to hit US $ xxx million dollars by the end of 2023 growing at a CAGR of xx% during 2018–2023.
The hydrophobic coating is used in various areas and has a lot of applications. The hydrophobic coating is sprayed onto various objects to make them waterproof. It is widely used in the maritime industry to reduce drag friction in the water leading to higher efficiency of ships. It is also used in the automobile industry where it is used on the windshield to make it waterproof. It is added to electronics and gadgets to make them waterproof.
The major factors that drive the growth of the hydrophobic coatings market include growth in industrial, automobile, maritime and electronic sectors.
