Glass Flake Coatings Market, Based on End-use Industry:
Oil & Gas
Marine
Chemical & Petrochemical
Others
The oil & gas segment is projected to lead the market
The growth in this segment can be attributed to the increased use of glass flake coatings in offshore & onshore platforms, pipelines, tanks, submerged surfaces, concrete bunds, and associated infrastructures. Glass flake coatings provide sufficient protection to these assets and pipelines, which increases their durability by reducing the effects of the corrosive and abrasive environment under which they operate.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the largest market for glass flake coatings mainly due to the rapidly-growing economies of China and India in the region. This, along with the low cost of production and availability of cheap labor, has caused various chemical companies in the market to shift their production bases to the Asia Pacific region. Also, the global shipbuilding industry, a major end-user of epoxy-based glass flake coatings, is led by the Asia Pacific—particularly by China, South Korea, and Japan due to the presence of the top five shipbuilding groups in the region.
Key market players in the glass flake coatings market
Key players in the glass flake coatingsmarket are Akzo Nobel (Netherlands), PPG Industries (US), Chugoku Marine (Japan), Jotun (Norway), Hempel (Denmark), The Sherwin-Williams Company (US), KCC Corporation (South Korea), Nippon Paint (Japan), Kansai Paint (Japan), and RPM International (US).
