Market Forecast
Performance coatings market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of over 5.11% to reach a value of around USD 62.45 billion by the end of the forecast period.
Performance coatings provide durability, safety, and longevity to the surface and components that are to be coated with performance coating. It has a wide range of applications such as drywall, construction materials, and others in various end-use industries, including construction, automotive and transportation, industrial, aerospace and defense, marine, and others. Performance coatings are specially designed to protect a substance from corrosion, offer resistance to chemicals & abrasion, ensure durability & safety, and enhance the appearance of a substance. Whereas high-performance coating acts as a barrier between the substrate and water, insulates it from soil contact, and protects it from chemical interaction.
Regulatory Framework
Below is the list of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards that are the framework for the coating industry.
-
- ASTM B117: Standard test for operating salt spray (fog) apparatus.
-
- ASTM D1654: Standard test for the evaluation of coated substance subjected to the corrosive environment.
-
- ASTM D610: Standard test for determining the extent of rust on coated steel surfaces.
-
- ASTM E2257: Standard test method for room fire test of wall &ceiling materials.
-
- ASTM E84: ASTM E84: Standard test method for surface burning of building materials.
Impact of Coronavirus Outbreak
In 2020, a sharp decline in sales was expected in the coatings market, as the production volume of key segments such as automotive and industrial industries will have fallen drastically. China and Japan are also major consumers of performance coating, and due to the imposition of lockdown, the sales of performance coatings have decreased in the assessment period.
However, with the lift of lockdown measures and trade restrictions, the demand for performance coatings is expected to gain pace and drive market growth.
Segmentation
By Type
-
- Based on type, the global performance coating market is divided into epoxy, silicone, polyester, acrylic, alkyd, polyurethane, fluoropolymer, and others.
-
- The acrylic segment is expected to register a higher growth rate because of its various applications such as piping, structural steel, machinery & equipment in chemical industries, commercial buildings, and others.
-
- The polyester segment is widely used in the building & construction industry due to its low cost. These are commonly used for windows, doors, and architectural projects. Therefore, the polyester segment is estimated to drive global market growth during the forecast period.
-
- The market for polyurethane types is likely to witness stable growth during the assessment period. However, polyurethane coatings are ideal for surfaces subjected to wear and tear and need to be chemically and physically resistant.
-
- The fluoropolymer coatings are a blend of high-performance resins and fluoropolymer lubricants.They are widely used inoriginal equipment manufacturers (OEMs) components and fasteners in the automotive industry to provide longer life.
By Coating Technology
-
- On the basis of coating technology, the global performance coatings market is divided into three types- solvent-based, water-based, and powder-based coating technology.
