Global Powder Coatings Market - Segmented by Resin Type and End-user Industry - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global powder coatings market is expected to witness a moderate CAGR during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. The oil & gas industry accounted for the highest share, followed by water & wastewater treatment industry, in 2017. The growing infrastructure and rapid industrialization, in the developing economies, is expected to boost the growth during the forecast period.

The powder coatings are based on polymer resin systems; combined with curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives. These ingredients are melted, mixed, cooled, and ground into a uniform powder, similar to baking flour. The powder offers benefits, such as superior durability, scratch resistance, gloss retention, and resistance to chalking. The powder is mainly used for applications on metal parts that are exposed to extreme weather conditions. Powder coatings are cost-efficient, as they do not contain solvents and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In addition, over-sprayed powder coating can be retrieved and recycled for use, thereby reducing the cost.

Accelerating Automotive Production in Asia-Pacific and Europe

The global automotive production has increased from 90 billion units in 2015 to about 95 billion units in 2016, with maximum production occurring in Asia-Pacific and Europe. The automotive industry is growing at a rapid pace in the Asia-Pacific region. China, India and Indonesia are some of the major countries involved in the production of cars & commercial vehicles. In Europe, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, have seen good growth in the automotive production, which, in turn, is likely to increase the consumption of powder coatings. The accelerating automotive production, coupled with the growing OEM market is expected to drive the usage of powder coatings during the forecast period.

Architectural & Decorative to Witness the Fastest Growth

The powder coating is increasingly becoming an attractive choice for builders and architects around the world, owing to stringent verification processes by the government for VOC emissions. Furthermore, powder coatings are formulated with specifications, which helps to provide long-term appearance and corrosion resistivity. The growing construction market is expected to drive the demand for powder coatings in the architectural & decorative segment during the forecast period.
