The global solvent borne coatings market size is expected to reach USD 52.67 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. This is attributable to the superior product properties, its wide range of applications, and the increasing demand from various end-use industries. They are known for their excellent durability, protection against weathering, and resistance to corrosion. These coatings provide a durable, hard, and glossy finish, making them ideal for industrial applications where resistance to abrasion and chemical exposure is crucial.
Solvent-borne coatings have several benefits over other types. They quickly dry, can be applied to a range of substrates, and are highly durable and weather resistant. They also provide excellent color & gloss retention, making them ideal for interior and exterior applications where aesthetics is essential. The demand for solvent-based paints and coatings has been on the rise, particularly in developing economies, owing to their unique characteristics and advantages. These products are well-suited for use in offshore oil and gas applications in environments characterized by low heat and high humidity.
Additionally, they are capable of covering large surface areas with a substantial thickness. Moreover, they demonstrate enhanced adhesion and exceptional water resistance, making them highly suitable for decorative finishes on complex shapes and external surfaces across various industries, including offshore oil and gas. As a result, there is an anticipated continued growth in the demand for these products in the foreseeable future, driven by the increasing adoption of paint anodization processes.
However, the solvents utilized in these coatings contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to the formation of smog and air pollution. Moreover, prolonged exposure to these solvents can pose health hazards, such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consequently, alternative technologies such as waterborne and powder coatings have emerged as more environment-friendly options in recent years.
