Thermal Spray Coatings Market 2023: Trends and Growth, Segmentation and Key Comp

Posted by Market Research Future on August 3rd, 2018

Thermal spray coatings involve a heat source, which melts the coating material in a powder, wire, or rod form into tiny droplets and sprayed it onto the substrate at high velocity. Thermally sprayed coatings are used to enhance and improve the performance characteristics of the substrates by imparting resistance against wear, erosion, cavitation, corrosion, abrasion, or heat. It is compatible with different substrates such as metals as well as plastics. Various types of coating materials such as ceramics, carbides, metals & alloys, polymers, and cermet are used for thermal spray coatings. Thermal spray coating offers various advantages such as thick coatings, high deposition rate, and low toxic gas emissions over several surface treatment processes such as nickel and chrome plating, nitride or heat treat processes, anodizing, and weld overlay. 

Thermal spray coatings are used across a wide range of applications in different end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, energy & power, electronics, agriculture, and industrial. For instance, they are widely used to coat industrial parts such aerospace precision parts, agriculture equipment, automotive parts, industrial gas turbine, electronics components, food & beverage industry reactors & other equipment, chemical industry reactors & equipment, and healthcare equipment to prevent it from environmental conditions such as corrosion, cavitation, erosion, wear, abrasion, and heat.

Necessity to improve the durability of machine components to avoid high replacement cost at later stagesis likely to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Growing use in the healthcare sector for various application, such as prosthetics, dental implants, and orthopedics, are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, a considerable shift in consumer preferences towards thermal spray coatings over hard chrome plating on account of stringent regulations by EPA and REACH against the use of high VOC content coatings is expected to be one of the key drivers of the global thermal spray coatings market over the forecast period.
