Composite Coatings Market Dynamics
One of the common end-user industries of composite coatings is the construction industry Besides construction, other industries that employ composite materials are automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and oil & gas. Moreover, Composite materials are also coated on various substrates with the help of technologies such as laser melt injection, electroless plating, brazing, and others. Furthermore, composite coatings have attractive properties such as accuracy, uniform coating thickness, and consistency.
Excellent growth opportunities offered by the oil & gas industry
Excellent growth opportunities provided by the oil & gas industry are projected to strengthen the composite coatings market in the near future. The global composite coatings market is further expected to increase at a considerable rate, owing to the surging demand for oil & gas, the marine industry, and transportation. The product offers chemical resistance and superior corrosion, which is expected to have a positive impact on the industry during the forecast period. Moreover, it presents exceptional insulation properties and delivers improved finishing, which may be expected to impel the market growth over the forecast period.
Composite coatings are manufactured by mixing two or more substances to shield against corrosion. These coatings are also manufactured using various resins including polyurethane and epoxy, which helps in avoiding corrosion protection and provide excellent waterproofing. Therefore it is preferred by end-use industries including aerospace and oil & gas. Increasing demand for these coatings in the oil & gas industry wherein hauls and pipes are essential components, is expected to drive demand over the forecast period. Moreover, there is a huge of such coatings in the construction industry as well.
Technological innovations are anticipated to augment the composite coatings market.
Pipelines in the oil & gas industry play an important role in transporting liquids and gases to their place. Such pipelines are exposed to the atmosphere alleviating issues such as the generation of corrosion on its surface. The composite coatings market is anticipated to grow due to properties such as excellent corrosion resistance, thus is anticipated to gain high demand in pipe coating applications during the forecast period.
Rolling, brushing, and dipping are extensively used technologies for utilizing composite coatings on the substrate. Brushing technology is the most preferred technology by manufacturers as it is easy and convenient and can be used on smaller sections. Furthermore, there are specific advanced techniques that are accessible, such as electrochemical plating and electroless. There are various initiatives taken by the manufacturers to invest in R&D to come up with a better, low-cost, and environment-friendly, product that is expected to have a positive impact on the industry trends.
The roller method of applying coatings is faster and more convenient than brushing, however, the roller method is not commonly used. It is not suitable for surfaces that are rarely flat such as steel which limits its application in some industries such as construction. This technique is considered less efficient and effective at various occurrences of, fixing, including roof sheets and corners thereby limiting its use against its counterparts which is expected to hamper its market.
COVID-19 Impact on Composite Coatings Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy in many terms, such as directly affecting production and demand, supply chain disruption, and financial impact. COVID-19 has directly impacted the manufacturers' supply chain across the globe and shut down production facilities to minimize the risk of virus spread. The global seal coat market is hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the construction industry was affected badly resulting in the unavailability of raw materials, shortage of laborers, and disruption in the supply chain. The decrease in the repair works from the construction industry also decreased the demand growth for seal coats in 2020. Moreover, the global composite coatings sector is expected to witness a period of negative/low growth due to less demand from various industries. However, as things get normal, maybe the chemical composite coatings industry can again to its original position.
Composite Coatings Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on the application, the composite coatings market has been classified into anti-corrosion, thermal protection, UV protection, and others.
The anti-corrosion segment accounted for the highest market share in the global market
