Farming and metallurgy have been pivotal to various technological and agricultural advancements throughout history, contributing to a shift in the power dynamic that favored humans over nature. Modern farming operations owe much of their efficiency to advanced metallurgical developments, such as the utilization of galvanized steel, which proves instrumental in helping farmers save time, reduce costs, and increase profitability.
Pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) emerges as a cost-effective alternative compared to other treated steel and iron, requiring lower capital expenditure from farmers. Its maintenance costs are also significantly lower than those of other coated metals, translating to time and cost savings on repairs and replacements. Boasting properties like damage resistance, durability, and anti-corrosion capabilities, PPGI proves resilient in outdoor environments, making it highly effective for agricultural use. Moreover, its self-healing property ensures automatic protection for damaged areas, as the coating corrodes preferentially to the steel, creating a safeguard for vulnerable sections. PPGI eliminates the need for additional surface preparation, such as painting before installation, adding to its practicality in agricultural settings.
In modern agricultural operations, PPGI finds applications across various equipment and structures. Farmers now use PPGI and galvanized high-strength steel in feeding equipment, farm tools, fencing, gates, grain elevators and conveyors, milk storage containers, irrigation systems, tractor parts, veterinary equipment, wheel hubs, slotted floors, storage racks, outdoor buildings, silo extraction equipment, refrigeration shelves, watering troughs, and high-speed freezing equipment.
The versatility of PPGI extends beyond agriculture to include a wide range of applications in the electronic household appliances sector. It is commonly employed in refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, cookers, heaters, satellite decoders, computers, light fittings, air conditioners, LED TVs, microwave ovens, furniture, electrical cabinets, and various other appliances. Domestic appliances demand materials with superior coatings and mechanical properties, and PPGI meets these requirements with its core properties, facilitating drawing, bending, forming, and other essential functions.
The telecommunications industry also benefits from the use of hot-galvanized steel, especially in applications such as phone wiring and equipment boxes. The durability of hot-galvanized steel reduces the risk of damage and minimizes maintenance needs, particularly for tall and challenging-to-reach phone lines.
Therefore, the widespread applications of pre-painted galvanized iron in agriculture and the electronic industry play a significant role in boosting the global pre-painted galvanized iron market. Its cost-effectiveness, durability, and diverse applications make PPGI a valuable asset in modern farming and electronic household appliances, contributing to the overall efficiency and success of these industries.
The global pre-painted galvanised iron (PPGI) market was valued at USD 131,497.81 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 269,218.18 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.31%.
Pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) is a form of galvanized iron where the metal is dipped into hot melt zinc to coat the metal and form a barrier between the metal and the atmosphere to avoid corrosion. PPGI is known for its properties such as durability, heat resistant, low maintenance cost, easy to install and many more properties. The exceptional characteristics it possesses allow it to withstand extremely hot and cold conditions. It has a high rigidity and excellent impact strength. PPGI is used in construction industry for roofing and in automobile industry for spare parts.
The existence of sizable pre-painted galvanized iron industry in the region is likely to make the Asia-Pacific region the largest expanding market for pre-painted galvanized iron globally. The market for pre-painted galvanized iron is also anticipated to grow throughout the forecast period as a result of rising government investments in infrastructure development in developing nations like China and India. Because of the high demand for pre-painted galvanized iron for construction and electronical, Europe has been actively monitoring the Asia-Pacific market. The growing demand for the product from a variety of end use sectors, including building and construction, agriculture, and automotive, is what drives the North American market.
COVID-19 Impact on the Pre-painted galvanised iron (PPGI) Market:
The supply scenario faced few issues due to the restrictions on travel and the lockdown of cities; however, the source teams worked closely with the suppliers to manage the supply of raw materials during the pandemic. Companies closely monitor and manage the extent and duration of any local requirements impacting their physical locations. The restrictions on transportation have resulted in disruptions in the movement of finished products from the manufacturers to the consumers through the distributors. The key players operating in the market have strategized policies to maintain the product supply by working closely with the suppliers and standing by the regulations the respective regional governments put forth.Â
Throughout the financial year 2020, the pandemic significantly disrupted the global economy, research activities, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics. The viral spread outraged the demand from consumers as the non-necessity production ceased during the outspread. It also affected the availability of raw materials and the worldwide movement of goods and services. Additionally, significant supply chain commotions, material shortages, and logistics bottlenecks inflated the raw material prices. This further elevated the production costs resulting in demand for reconsideration of the pricing structure by the commercial customers. The limited availability of the workforce and curb in the full-scale production also affected the delivery timelines creating a communication gap in demand and supply of the products.
