Theprotective coating market has grown substantially over the years and has now matured in size globally. The growth in size of the market can be attributed to demand from different sectors like construction, automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas throughout the globe. Protective coatings are used to protect various surfaces from corrosion, wear, and degradation from the environment, and are essential for maintenance of infrastructure, industrial, and commercial assets. The global market is anticipating a powerful valuation as it has clearly hit its stride with enhanced coating technologies, and growing interests in sustainable, eco-friendly, and processes.
Several factors contribute to the upward trajectory of the protective coating industry. Many new projects in both urbanization and infrastructure, especially in emerging economies, will require durable materials that can stand up to adverse conditions. Along with that, industries are becoming aware of the economic and environmental costs of corrosion, and are starting to implement protective coatings as a preventive measure.
Advances in technology, including smart coatings that sense an environmental change, have opened up the applications for protective coatings to more uses than just industry. Lastly, since more people are focused on environmental measures, big companies have to create coatings with less volatile organic content (VOC) and improve the eco-performance associated with their coatings.
The protective coating market growth is influenced by several key trends and dynamic forces that shape its course. One notable trend is the move to waterborne and powder coatings. Waterborne coatings and powder coatings are viewed favorably with respect to minimal environmental impact and adherence to significant restrictions.
The rise of nanotechnology has also transformed the very nature of the coatings, with the advent of coatings that are incredibly robust and multifunctional. Other dynamics impacting the market are the rise and fall of raw materials prices, as well as, supply chain failures around the globe. However, the market continues to expand with strong answer in sectors demanding performance and longevity from the assets.
