Description

The most widely used commercial coatings are based on petroleum derivatives (resins, solvents). Due to consumer and environmental concerns, coupled with regulation, manufacturers and formulators are developing bio-based alternatives to synthetic products, identifying safer materials with a low environmental impact for protective coatings.

Over the past decade, the coatings industry has increasingly introduced eco-friendly technologies, such as processes involving UV-cure, treatments with less or no solvents, waterborne products, hyperbranched, and high solid coatings to achieve high-performance coatings. This is now being supplemented by the production of coatings centred on bio-based materials in order to obtain a treatment that is sustainable from both the point of view of the production process and the raw materials used. Many producers have introduced bio-based alternatives in product formulations, replacing fossil-based compounds that possess similar properties, and also potentially have wider applications.

Growing pressure to comply with stringent health and safety legislation and demonstrate a reduced environmental impact is also compelling manufacturers to progressively introduce bio-derived alternatives to traditional chemicals. All ten of the top ten coatings companies by global sales now offer eco-friendly products with low-VOC emissions, and the reduction or replacement of traditional solvents, resins and pigments is now a high priority.

“The Global Market for Bio-based Coatings 2024-2034 ” presents a detailed analysis of sustainable, eco-friendly coatings leveraging bio-based materials from renewable feedstocks and agricultural waste. It sizes the current global bio-coatings industry while projecting rapid growth by 2034 driven by environmental factors and performance cost parity against petrochemical incumbents.

Over 165 company profiles analyze major manufacturers of biopolymer paint resins, microbial synthesized polymers, plant-oil derived platforms spanning polyurethanes, acrylates, epoxies etc. Granular 10-year demand forecasts provided by type and end-use application assist strategic capacity investment planning. Comparative technological assessment examines benefits and limitations around durability, corrosion resistance, dry times etc for both drop-in and novel bio-based options compared to conventional offerings. Regulatory trends around VOC emissions and circular economy also receive coverage influencing adoption dynamics.

Overall this data-driven study helps specialty chemical companies prioritize R&D pipelines adjusting for projected disruptions as the industry gradually transitions towards more sustainable circular feedstocks.
