Global Industrial Coating Market size- Industry Trends & Outlook Report 2026

Global Industrial Coating Market size is estimated at USD 85.61 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 104.22 Billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 3.12%, over the projection period 2020-2026. Industrial Coatings Market is primarily driven by the massive rising refinish industry in the emerging economies on the backdrop of rapid industrialization and increased spending on infrastructure. Industrial coatings enhance chemical resistance, water resistance, durability, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV light resistance in the various structures of concrete, steel, board, wall, roofs, and other industrial materials. Therefore, they are extensively used in the automotive and oil and gas industries besides other sectors, further driving the growth of the market.

Global Industrial Coating Market Overview

Industrial Coating is an excellent method of corrosion protection. Coatings can be applied to a substrate by using distinct methods such as spray, roller or brush, plating, sealing, etc. It is a thin film applied to various materials including, concrete, steel, and other surfaces where its layers work as the barrier between the electrolyte (water or moisture) and the substrate and also helps prevent corrosion of the substrate surface. Application of these films of polymers includes polyurethane, epoxy, acrylic, alkyds and polyester. 

Industrial coatings are specially engineered products for corrosion safety, wear-resistance and improved aesthetics. They protect the parent material and limit direct exposure to harsh, degrading weather. The coating technology is used to incorporate an organic film with a substrate material that has the desired protective, mechanical, optical, ageing, and adhesion properties. Most technologies process, transform resins, pigments, and additives into industrial coatings that are used in industries such as the Automotive OEM, Refinish, General Industrial, Marine, Aerospace, Wood and others. Environmental laws and water-based technologies are favorable critical factors contributing to the industrial coatings market growth. 

The changing trend towards equipment protection has stimulated the market for industrial coatings in the manufacturing, shipping, chemical, and food processing industries. Increasing adoption of large, high-performance machinery & equipment and automotive & aviation companies has increased the need for efficient coatings which strongly support long-term usage demand. Advances in production units to safeguard the quality of the interior structure and its certification would accelerate market growth for industrial coatings. Its growing awareness among manufacturers is expected to drive market growth further. 

Growth Drivers 

Rising Demand for Powder Coating

The powder-based industrial coating technology is a highly efficient process with the over 98% recoverability of powder over spray and, higher chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing resistance than other finishes contribute to its increased demand in the end-user industry. 

The demand for powder coatings has been rising with the increasing need for robust and eco-friendly coatings. Powder coatings offer long-lasting lustre and high durability due to their high abrasion & corrosion resistance and UV-resistance. They are often environmentally friendly, as they emit minimal toxic compounds and contain fewer solvents, thereby leading to further expansion during the projection period.

Increasing Demand for Polyester Coating From Construction Industry

The construction industry is the major consumer of polyester coating, contributing to the growing demand for polyester coatings. The demand from the building and finishing industry is expected to rise in the coming years with the increasing income and global population, particularly the middle class. Inevitably it would gain momentum due to rising investment in infrastructure development & outlay and rapid urbanization in the coming years. 

Noteworthy: Engineering and Refinish (E&C) industry Current Market Trend

Despite witnessing zero per cent growth in 2019, the US engineering and refinish (E&C) industry started the year 2020 on a positive note. The Refinish Confidence Index for Allied Builders and Contractors March 2020 was below the mark of 50, which is the point signifying the divide between expansion and contraction. Jobs in Refinish dropped to its lowest level since January 2016 at 975,000 in April 2020. In addition to labor-related problems, the E&C industry is likely to face many other short-term pandemic obstacles, such as delays or projects being placed on hold, difficulties in securing project approvals, increased project cancellations, increased lawsuits and litigation, and difficulties in the sourcing of materials and equipment from Asia, such as structural steel and glass.

Restraints

The high cost of the raw material combined with the complexity of producing thin films in powder coatings

Powder coatings offer decent flow properties, reduced edge build-ups and precise raw material distribution in the powder mixtures. These may be used in decorative, mechanical, and protective coatings. Powder coatings, however, produce a dense finish on metal parts. It is challenging to manufacture thin finishes using traditional powder coatings, as polymer thickening can lead to an irregular texture being formed. Nonetheless, the high cost of raw materials due to the volatile prices of crude oil and the strict regulations on the use and disposal of commodities are expected to impede global demand growth during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 in industry

The global economy and humanity have been pushed into a crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the high infection rate and adverse impact on public health systems, various governments have enforced nationwide lockdowns significantly impacting manufacturing supply chains, trade and related services. Players are currently considering digital solutions which will enable them to serve the community and provide new opportunities to do business. Due to the lockdown impact on various industries, it is expected that the demand for industrial coating will also get hit for the time being. Production and operation, as well as infrastructural activities, have slowed down globally to limit the spread of coronavirus, which is further anticipated to impact the demand for industrial coatings. 

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to get profoundly affected by the spread of the COVID-19 as China is the epicentre of this lethal disease with robust chemical industry. Currently, Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the United States have a vast number of corona virus-positive cases.
