Protective Coatings Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2019 to 2025

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on May 5th, 2022

The global protective coatings market size is expected to reach USD 50.86 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period, according to a new study published by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand from aerospace industry is expected to fuel the growth.

In industries such as aerospace, oil & gas, and power generation, the machinery, equipment, and components are subject to high operating temperatures. Thus, there is a growing requirement in these industries for efficient coating solutions that offer effective protection of the components and equipment. Heat management, corrosion control, and reduction of wear & tear are the key factors driving this demand for protective coatings across end-use verticals. The growth of these industries, most notably in emerging countries such as Russia, China, India, and Brazil, is expected to have significant impacts on the industry growth during the forecast years.

The overall industry growth is expected to be driven primarily by the epoxy segment during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the superior properties of epoxy-based products, including efficiency, thermal resistance, and durability. The growing demand for these products in key end-use segments such as construction and industrial is likely to drive the growth of this segment.

Protective coatings are widely used in aerospace application such as in exterior topcoats, fuel tanks, anti-chafe, wings, and others. They provide protection to equipment and assemblies against erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, and abrasion, and thereby help extend the life and efficiency of components. The demand for aerospace and defense equipment is anticipated to witness significant growth across the globe over the forecast period. The resurgence of global security threats coupled with growth in the defense budget of key nations are expected to drive the aerospace industry in the forthcoming years.

Based on resin segment, epoxy is anticipated to expand at the highest growth rate over the forecast period. Epoxy resin offer high flexibility and abrasion and corrosion resistance, thus, paving their way for use as protective coating in various end use industries such as automotive, construction, oil and gas, mining, power generation, marine, and others.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

  • Asia Pacific was the dominant regional segment in 2018, driven by ascending demand from end users such as aerospace, automotive, mining, power generation, industrial, and oil and gas
  • China is the fastest growing country in Asia Pacific on account of the growing construction industry
  • Epoxy segment is potentially fueling the protective coatings market growth owing to its rising demand in various end-use industries
  • Market players engage in various strategic initiatives to gain greater market share. For instance, in February 2017, Akzo Nobel N.V. invested USD 14.14 million in the development of an R&D facility in Felling, U.K. The new facility is engaged in the development of new protective coatings for energy, mining, infrastructure, and oil and gas industries

Water borne segment is projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. It is widely used in household applications and confined and poorly ventilated spaces. They have low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content, thus, making them more eco-friendly compared to their counterparts. This coating is used where solvent-borne coatings are anticipated to react with the substrate. Waterborne coating is an ideal primer on account of its properties including excellent thermal and corrosion resistance.

Based on end user, industrial segment is projected to grow significantly over the next seven years. Industrial machinery is exposed to high temperatures, corrosive fluids, and gases that can deteriorate it. Protective coating is used for heat exchangers, boilers, transformers, containers, and material handling equipment to protect them from heat and humidity. They provide the equipment with improved impact and abrasion resistance due to their impermeability.

The global market is fragmented in nature with the presence of various key players such as Akzo Nobel NV; Arkema SA; Axalta Coating Systems; PPG Industries, Inc.; The Sherwin-Williams Company; RPM International, Inc.; and Wacker Chemie AG along with some small and medium global and regional players. The global players face intense competition from each other as well as from the regional players who have well-established supply chain networks and are well aware of the regulations and suppliers in their market.
