The super-hydrophobic surface has been a subject of intense interest over the past several years. A considerable amount of work has been carried out to study the involved mechanisms and principles, preparation methods. With the development of economic the number of skyscraper and high-rise building is continues increasing around the world during past several years. Higher the building the cleaning working is more danger and more expensive, so many skyscrapers produce enormous demands of self-cleaning coating. While, Self-cleaning coatings play their role with two mechanisms: super-hydrophilic and super-hydrophobic. Super-hydrophobic surfaces with a contact angle bigger than 150°and a low contact angle hysteresis (less than 10°) show real self-cleaning mechanical with forming a lay of air to keep the droplet stay at the top of hierarchical structures which is different from that of hydrophilic self-cleaning surface. But in the market the super-hydrophobic self-cleaning coating has not been popular until now for multifunctional demands and technological difficulties. In this paper, advanced technologies of fabrication and the commercial demands were jointed together. With the data of the distribution of skyscrapers a huge market for self-cleaning coating is shown all over the world especially in Asia. Current advanced studies on self-cleaning super-hydrophobic coatings are summarizes especially involved in the building application for its visible rapid-increased commercial demand. According to the analysis on potential market, Super-hydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces show a numerous application potential for smart building with lowest cleaning cost. In addition, more performances such as solar control, energy conservation and thermal insulation are urgent requirements of widening commercial market; prolonged lifetime, high adhesion, transparency, wear resistance and regeneration should be got more concern to cooperate with self-cleaning character in the further research work on the super-hydrophobic coating. In the nearly future, based on the mature technology and the advanced studies, surface functional materials must be serve import role in the passive building without anything consumption.
