Anti-Graffiti Coatings Market Trends

ID: MRFR//6162-HCR | 140 Pages | Author: Anshula Mandaokar| November 2024

Anti-Graffiti Coatings Market Overview


The anti-graffiti coatings market value is estimated to reach a CAGR of 3.5%. The market had reached USD 70 Million in 2022, and it is expected to reach a significant value in the forecast period.


The anti-graffiti coating is composed of charged polymeric coatings, which form a gel at the substrate's surface. These coatings have various benefits such as cleaning efficiency, hydrophobicity, substrate adherence without damage, UV aging and weathering resistance, and are environmentally friendly. Due to these properties, the anti-graffiti coatings market is driving at a higher pace.


These coatings are used as cover protection methods, which are used to prevent graffiti paint from clinging to the surfaces. Graffiti removal in the buildings of historical sites, government buildings, corporate buildings, rail coaches, schools, public stations, and buses, among other places, may cost expensive costs. Hence anti-graffiti coatings are used for the protection of structures and monuments. It can be used on both the inside and outside of the buildings. There are various types of anti-graffiti coatings. These advantages are propelling the demand for the anti-graffiti coatings market.


These coatings also have other advantages, such as extended shelf life, and are suitable for porous and non-porous substrates like plastics, stone, bricks, metals, glass, and concrete. The rising popularity of graffiti has resulted in the need for graffiti removal, and this factor is driving the anti-graffiti coatings market growth. In residential and commercial construction, used for protecting substrates against graffiti wreaking havoc. The increased rate of commercial construction such as departmental stores, supermarkets, malls, and specialty stores in developing countries is fueling up the anti-graffiti coatings market size demand.

A new anti-graffiti coating was released in January 2023 by GraffShield Coatings, which claims to be the best defense against all types of materials used for making graffiti. The formulation uses advanced nanotechnology, creating a barrier that spray paints and markers cannot adhere to, therefore making it easier to remove any tagging without damaging the underlying surface.

In March 2023, ProCoat Solutions launched an enhanced system designed particularly for protecting metal surfaces found on public goods such as benches or litter bins but can also be applied onto cladding used in private buildings; this is suitable for both public and private buildings, including fences, railings as well as signs commonly defaced with spray cans or markers - especially in high traffic areas like train stations or buses where people may accidentally rub against walls leaving marks behind. This next-generation product provides better strength and resilience against heavy rain or snowfall, among other weather conditions – thus can withstand outdoor use too! Besides being self-cleaning thus reducing frequent maintenance work required while extending its life span simultaneously.

ShieldTech Coatings unveiled an environmentally friendly anti-graffiti coating in May 2023 made from bio-based materials; according to them, it contains renewable resources and no harmful chemicals, so it’s safe for our environment, too! They claim that their formula works well against most forms of street art but is still easily wiped off using eco-friendly methods, thus minimizing pollution caused by chemical cleaners often employed when dealing with stubborn stains left after unsuccessful attempts at removing tags cleanly. ADAPTA announced its new range, Anti-Graffiti HCR, on December 1st, 2020. A powder-based product developed specifically for protecting metal surfaces found on public goods such as benches or litter bins, but can also be applied onto cladding used in private buildings.
