Epoxy coatings Market: Overview

Epoxy coatings are largely popular in construction and building applications that are formed by the process called curing. These epoxy coatings provide a strong and resistant coating that protects structures and has excellent adhesion properties. The epoxy coatings are used in multiple industries such as building, construction, automotive & transportation, and other industrial applications that require coatings.

The advantages of the epoxy coatings coating over other coatings is expected to propel the epoxy coatings market potential over the forecast period, and this trend will majorly influence the epoxy coatings market potential in the long run. Increasing construction activities and rising industrialization on a global scale are also expected to shape epoxy coatings market potential through 2028.

However, fluctuating costs of raw materials are anticipated to have a hindering effect on the global epoxy coatings market growth through the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a downfall in the epoxy coatings market. The world witnessed lockdowns across multiple nations, and this led to a substantial change in industrial activity on a global scale. Shuttering of multiple production facilities and slow down of the construction sector majorly led to a drop in demand for epoxy coatings in 2020.  

Shortage of raw materials, strict restrictions prohibiting outdoor activity, etc., were factors that further made it difficult for the epoxy coatings companies to run their business efficiently.

The epoxy coatings market is expected to make a good recovery in the post-pandemic era as the world returns to normal and construction activity resumes to drive the epoxy coatings market potential over the forecast period.

Epoxy coatings Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing Industrialization and Construction Activity

The world is witnessing rapid industrialization, as a result the demand for construction activity is high on a global scale. This factor is majorly influencing the epoxy coatings market growth positively. Rapid urbanization has also led to a substantial rise in demand for construction in the residential sector. Increasing use of epoxy coatings in this construction activity to make them more efficient is expected to majorly drive the epoxy coatings market potential through 2028.

Epoxy coatings Market: Restraints

Fluctuating Costs of Raw Material to Hinder Growth

The raw materials that are used in the manufacturing and formulation of epoxy coatings follow a highly volatile trend, and this factor causes uncertainty in the pricing of epoxy coatings and hence slows down the overall epoxy coatings market growth. The prices of these raw materials are subject to change with changing economic landscape of the world and hence are out of manufacturer control and this is why this factor is expected to hinder the epoxy coatings market potential beyond the forecast period as well.

Global Epoxy Coatings Market: Segmentation

The global epoxy coatings market is segregated based on technology, application, and region.

By technology, the market is divided into Solvent borne, Waterborne, and Powder-based. The water-borne coatings segment will account for a dominant market share and is anticipated to be the most lucrative segment over the forecast period. Its popularity can be attributed to the growing demand for moisture barrier applications across multiple industrial verticals.  

By Application, the epoxy coatings market is segmented into Construction, Transportation, General Industrial, and Others. The transportation segment held a major market share and is projected to maintain this stance over the forecast period. Increasing demand for vehicles and growing automotive and transportation industries have largely influenced the epoxy coatings sales and are expected to drive growth through 2028.
