Global Epoxy Coatings Market Overview
Epoxy coatings are durable coatings, formed by the chemical reaction using an epoxide resin and a polyamine hardener. This process is known as curing, wherein the processing time may vary from several minutes to hours, depending on the hardness of the coating required. These coatings can create a strong, durable, and chemically resistant film, owing to which they are used in a variety of protective coating purpose in the automotive & transportation, building & construction, and other industrial flooring and coating applications. Epoxy coating systems form a protective film of excellent adhesion, high integrity, toughness, and good impact resistance. These coatings are mainly water-based, or powder form and are gaining popularity over the traditional solvent-based coating systems on account of the various advantages offered. Some of these advantages include fewer coats required to achieve the desired film thickness, low-temperature curing process, volatile organic compound (VOC) compliance, and reduction in the requirement for air ventilation during curing and application. Primarily driven by the low VOC emissions, formulations, and technological advancements, epoxy powder-based coating is becoming the preferred finishing process over wet paint.
The global epoxy coatings market was valued at over USD 48.9 billion, by value in 2030, and is projected to register a healthy CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2030. The protuberant factor favoring the growth of the global market is the increasing demand for epoxy coatings in the building & construction and automotive industries. The construction sector is the largest end-user, wherein the epoxy coatings are widely used as floor coatings for commercial and residential flooring. Epoxy coatings are applied over concrete floors to provide a high-performance, smooth, and durable surface that can sustain heavy loads. In addition, the increasing demand for VOC-free coating technologies is expected to be another prominent factor in favoring market growth. The significant advantages offered by the epoxy floor coatings over the traditional coatings include a high-gloss surface that significantly increases the brightness of interior areas, quick and easy to install, durable and easy to clean, resists oil stains and water, and compatibility with other self-leveling products applied over the concrete.
The automotive & transportation is the other major consumer for epoxy coatings, wherein it serves the requirement for beautiful aesthetics, high gloss, and superior smoothness as well as helps in a weight reduction of the finished part. Interior body components (under the hood car parts) and engine components also need resistance to scratch, chemicals, and corrosion, where epoxy coatings are the preferred choice. The expanding automotive industry in the economies of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa is further expected to boost demand for epoxy coatings during the forecast period.
The fluctuations in the prices of epoxy resins is expected to hinder the overall production cost for the epoxy coatings and is likely to be a key factor hindering the global market growth during the review period.
