The global thermal spray coatings market size was estimated at USD 11.29 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 16.22 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2026 to 2033. The market growth depends on the use of thermal spray coatings in various end-use industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial gas turbines, printing, steel, and pulp & paper.
The rising use of gas turbines in helicopter engines, tanks, ships, and locomotives is expected to help augment the demand for thermal spray coatings due to their high temperature and corrosion resistance, which protects the parts against fire in high-temperature and moisture-laden conditions.
The properties provided by thermal spray coatings include wear resistance against abrasion, cavitation, and erosive forces, as well as chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and improved adhesion between the substrate and the top layer of components. The stringent regulations by the U.S. EPA, REACH, and OSHA regarding the curtailment of hard chrome plating, which produces a byproduct recognized as a carcinogen, influence the coating manufacturers to adopt sustainable solutions that can further propel the market growth in various end-use industries.
This is attributed to the high demand from power generation plants for industrial gas turbines, which are expected to witness a surge in gas turbine demand due to the policy transition of the U.S. government toward replacing coal with natural gas for electricity generation. According to the Rural Health Information Hub, there are currently 46 million adults over the age of 65 years living in the U.S., which is expected to grow to 90 million by 2050. The rising geriatric population and improved healthcare services in the U.S. are expected to drive the market for orthopedic implants required in knee cap replacement surgery, and are anticipated to grow the market in the region.
