Industrial Coatings Market Analysis
Industrial coatings are widely used in various other end-use sectors, including automotive and vehicle refinish, electronics, aerospace, oil & gas, mining, marine, and power generation. Automotive and refinish coatings are among the major industrial coatings. The growing usage of refinish coatings for automotive maintenance, repair, and aftermarket painting on account of visual appearance, surface protection, and corrosion resistance is expected to propel the demand for industrial coatings.
This, in turn, is anticipated to create ample growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Increasing awareness about vehicle paint protection by healing damages and scratches on vehicle surfaces has boosted market growth. Moreover, expanding the consumer base in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions on account of the rising disposable income is expected to boost the product demand in the automotive and other end-use industries during the forecast period. Increasing demand for industrial coatings from packaging applications, such as caps & closures, and cans, is also projected to positively influence market growth in the coming years.
Excellent CO2 retention properties to preserve freshness and high flexibility & adhesion of these coatings are boosting their demand in the packaging industry. Furthermore, increasing construction activities drive product demand in the wood industry. However, environmental and health hazards associated with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are majorly affecting the industry growth. Various environmental and safety regulations, such as The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and California Air Resource Board (CARB), are being implemented by governments globally to limit the harmful effects of these compounds on human health and the environment.
