Market Dynamics

Increasing Demand from Various End Use Industries are creating ample space for Protective Coating.

The demand for protective coatings, which ensure corrosion resistance, durability, and operational efficiency, is projected to increase as the number of housing projects on the drawing board rises. To meet the needs of various applications, the construction industry requires a variety of protective coating formulations. Some of the most commonly used protective coating products in the industry are high-temperature, abrasion and wear-resistant, intumescent, and water-resistant coatings.

Protective coatings are also applied to various construction equipment to ensure corrosion and wear and tear resistance, durability, and operational efficiency. Moreover, the growing concerns about wastewater treatment are also anticipated to boost the demand for protective coatings across the globe. Since wastewater contains dangerous materials including human waste, oils, food scraps, chemicals, soaps, and others that need to be treated before being released to the environment, wastewater treatment has grown in popularity around the world as a means of preventing environmental damage.

Concrete is used to make water tanks because it has a higher water retention capacity. However, when concrete is exposed to chemicals for an extended period of time, it becomes damaged. In order to prevent such long-term damage, protective coatings are applied over the substrate, which has increased the demand for protective coatings.

Fluctuating Cost of Raw Materials and Stringent Regulations for VOCs Constraints the market growth for Protective Coatings.

Protective coatings production are a bit expensiove, and their pricing increases in tandem with the cost of energy. Due to rising crude oil prices and fluctuating currency exchange rates, raw material costs have gone up. The price of the raw materials needed to create protective coatings varies significantly. Acrylic is the cheapest among them. Epoxies are the most expensive type of barrier coating. A rise in energy taxes, on top of the cost of raw materials, imposes additional expenses on manufacturers, resulting in higher operating costs and decreased profit margins.

Additionally, the strict regulations regulating VOC and hazardous solvent emissions due to their detrimental effects on the environment and human health are anticipated to have an impact on demand for solvent-borne protective coatings and limit market expansion during the anticipated period. However, growing technology development, the introduction of bio-solvents, and the use of water-borne protective coatings owing to rising environmental concerns are stimulating market growth in the forecast period.

A flourishing Spike in the demand for Eco-friendly and Cost Efficient Solutions is the new key trend adopted by key players

Manufacturers' focus has shifted from improving existing products to exploring opportunities to introduce newer and more innovative products to the market as a result of the existing strict regulatory framework. The introduction of multi-purpose and hybrid coatings, as well as eco-friendly advanced products such as nano-coatings and green coatings, are factors expected to drive growth in the global protective coatings market.

Opportunities for innovation and new products exist in extreme temperature applications, which is a major area of focus for researchers across the globe and is expected to open up new and promising opportunities in the near future.
