Epoxy Coating Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Substrate (Wood, Metal, Concrete), Product (Waterborne, Powder), Application, End User, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Epoxy Coating Market is accounted for $33.77 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $64.97 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Epoxy coatings are durable coatings, formed by mixing epoxide resin and polyamine hardeners through a chemical process. Epoxy coatings are utilized for a number of reasons because of their capacity to generate a robust, durable, and chemically resistant material. The processing time for curing may vary from several minutes to hours depending on the hardness of the coating needed for the end-use purpose.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for water-borne coatings

The rising demand for water-borne coatings is driving the epoxy coatings market, particularly in developing countries. High mechanical strength and toughness are the main properties exhibited by the water-borne epoxy coatings. Moreover, epoxy coatings technology is adopted because of the low pollution caused by them, under the government's strict regulations, mainly to control the air pollution. Therefore, the excessive utilization of water-borne coatings in building and construction, transportation, and other end-use industries will drive the growth of the epoxy coatings market.

Restraint:

High cost of epoxy coatings

Epoxy coatings are costlier to manufacture because the raw ingredients needed for manufacture are more expensive than other low-end coatings, and the manufacturing process is complex with a limited tolerance for mistakes. Most epoxy resins must pass some level of regulation to verify that they are FDA-compliant and food-safe, which further increases the cost. Epoxy resins are pricey as they are created with high-cost raw materials, demand skilled labor and accuracy.

Opportunity:

Urbanization trend with rising income

People from rural regions move to towns for higher job opportunities, training, and higher lifestyles, because of different reasons. Increasing urbanization has triggered the demand for housing, particularly fine housing, throughout towns. This rising demand for high-quality homes will increase the demand for decorative paint in the future. Rising revenues and growing awareness of protective coatings applications have increased the demand for architectural paints as a result of the rising claims and income levels of the middle class. Changing trends in the home improvement industry and increasing disposable income are providing ample opportunities for the epoxy coating market growth.

Threat:

Application process of epoxy floor coatings

The difficult application process of the epoxy floor coatings is a challenge to the market growth. Epoxy floor coatings cannot be applied to contaminated, unprepared, or damaged surfaces, unlike polyurethane floor coating. The floor should be clean without any grease, solvent, or oils over it, to ensure the long life of the coating. Repairing of the damaged surfaces is often needed, and the concrete is required to be ground to profile the surface. So, in comparison to other coatings, epoxy flooring has a slower turnover time. Thus, owing to the difficulty in the application process, the growth of the epoxy coatings market will be a challenge to the market in the forecast period.

The powder segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The powder segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth as these epoxy coatings offer superior performance and are also economical for applications that need high abrasion resistance and hardness. In addition, because of their high adaptability, they are utilized in many applications. Moreover, the non-volatile organic compound emission properties of powder-based epoxy coatings are driving the epoxy coatings market.

The concrete segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The concrete segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period as epoxy floor coatings are utilized over concrete substrates owing to their impact resistance, hardness, and durable properties. As the building and construction activities are booming rapidly with industrial flooring as the major application in it, the demand for epoxy coating on the concrete substrate is also set to increase. Therefore, increased usage of epoxy coatings on the concrete substrate will drive the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the increasing requirement for epoxy coatings in developing countries, growth of the transportation and construction industries, and other end-use industry. In addition countries such as India and Australia, are witnessing a rapid increase in transportation sectors where the epoxy coating is employed as a protective coating to provide structural integrity in transportation equipment and increase their average lifespan.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the increasing construction activities on account of low interest on housing loans coupled with the desire to advance public infrastructure to attract tourism. In addition, rising awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of environment-friendly products is likely to drive market growth.
