The global Electrocoating market is estimated to be worth $3,804.1 million in 2021. Electrocoating market is expected to expand at an 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period.
Electrocoating is a coating procedure that involves depositing electrically charged particles from a water suspension onto a conductive component. Paint is applied to a part at a specific film thickness during the electrocoating process, which is controlled by the amount of voltage used. As the applied coating electrically insulates the part, the deposition is self-limiting and slows. Electrocoat solids form in the areas nearest to the counter electrode first, and when these areas become insulated from current, solids are driven into much more recessed bare metal parts to complete coverage. Throw power is a fundamental feature of the electrocoat process that causes this phenomenon.
Over the last two decades, the coatings industry has focused on developing ecologically-friendly ingredients and coatings. This is the outcome of countries around the world enacting stronger environmental rules and regulations aimed at reducing VOC emissions from coatings. The United States and European governments are particularly concerned about air pollution and are developing rules aimed at reducing or eliminating hazardous emissions. These air pollution rules are projected to have a significant impact on the market for e-coat.
Several product manufacturers have switched to e-coats for various applications since the electrocoating process emits very little or no HAP or VOC. This also aids in product recycling and the development of less hazardous waste during recycling, thereby complying with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
In recent decades, the agricultural sector in the Asia Pacific, particularly in China and India, has experienced substantial growth. Because of technological improvements and the incorporation of IoT, the agricultural machinery market is seeing a growth in demand. The market in this region is experiencing an increase in demand due to increased demand from the agriculture sector and government incentives for agricultural applications. Coatings with good corrosion resistance and heat dissipation materials must be provided to extend their useful lifespan. E-coats with established corrosion-resistant qualities are ideal for this application. Thus, the demand for e-coats in the agricultural equipment, parts, and accessories market is likely to rise in the future.
Electrocoating Market is segmented By type, application, and geography. Based on application, The passenger car market is predicted to increase at the fastest rate of 9.6%, owing to rising vehicle use around the world. The emergence of the vehicle financing business has spurred the passenger automobile industry to offer vehicle loans to its consumers. In many developing economies, owning a passenger automobile is considered a status symbol, but middle-class families are increasingly purchasing them. Demand for passenger cars will continue to rise in developing countries as income levels rise, driving market revenue during the forecast period.
The global Electrocoating market is fairly competitive with the presence of a large number of international and national players. Some of the major players in the market are PPG Industries, Axalta Coating Systems, and BASF SE, among others. Both small and large industry players are relying on product approvals, product launches, mergers, and acquisitions to gain a significant share of the global Electrocoating market. For instance, in 2021, Axalta Coating Systems announced the launch of AquaECTM 3500 EP, a new environmentally-responsible, cathodic tin-free electrocoat primer. The primer has applications in automotive, agriculture, and construction.
