Market Insight

Protective coatings are used to protect metals from corrosion. They are also used for decorative purposes. In addition to corrosion protection and decoration, they import some special properties such as electrical properties, hardness, thermally insulating and oxidation-resistance to the protected surface. Their ability to protect effectively against corrosion over a number of years depend on a long line of technical parameters including fundamental corrosion protection through the galvanic, barrier or inhibition effects, as well as good adhesion properties, mechanical strength, and resistance against cracking.

High-performance anti-corrosion coatings are used to protect tanks, pipes, processing equipment, metal, and concrete structures from deterioration caused by exposure to a corrosive environment. The growing infrastructure and construction industry is the major driver for the protective coatings market. The protective coatings have an intensive application in the construction industry as a protective agent and corrosion-resistant for metal and plastic structures. Further, the major player in this market is concentrating on research and development activities that help to drive the growth of the market in the coming years. Furthermore, growing demand for high-performance coatings and environmentally friendly protective coatings are driving the demand of the market. However, strict environmental regulations on the production and usage of protective coatings are hindering the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing demand for the maintenance of existing substrates provides a growth opportunity for the protective coatings market.

The Asia-Pacific is the largest region for the protective coatings market owing to a growing demand for new infrastructure, increased investments to upgrade aging infrastructure and development of major rail and road projects.
