Chemical surface treatment enhances materials by adding functions such as rust and wear resistance to their surfaces. The aim is to bolster corrosion and wear resistance before assembling and commissioning various parts.
Chemical surface treatments encompass cleaners, plating chemicals, conversion coatings, and other variants. Cleaners, comprising various chemicals, serve to eliminate impurities such as grease or oil from surfaces, commonly seen in mechanical parts or industrial machinery. They also play a role in sterilizing or cleaning equipment within laboratory or cleanroom environments. These treatments are applied to base materials such as metals, plastics, and others, offering functions such as coloring, corrosion inhibition, post-treatment, pretreatment cleaning, conditioning, decorative applications, plating, among others. Industries such as building and construction, transportation, aerospace and defense, non-ferrous metals, and household appliances utilize these chemical surface treatments.

The burgeoning automotive sector is anticipated to drive growth in the chemical surface treatment market. Shifting economic dynamics and an improved standard of living have significantly altered consumer purchasing capabilities. While the economic fallout of COVID-19 has disrupted global norms, it is expected to pave the way for a new societal framework. With social distancing crucial in combating the pandemic, there has been a notable upsurge in the demand for personal transportation globally. Additionally, mounting concerns about climate change and the pursuit of net-zero emissions are propelling a worldwide transition to emission-free vehicles. This transition has led to a surge in the production of electric and hybrid vehicles, marking a shift from traditional petroleum-based products to locally powered alternatives. This heightened demand within the automotive sector has consequently escalated the need for chemical surface treatments to shield materials from corrosion and enhance their operational properties. For instance, as per the April 2022 report by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, global motor vehicle production reached 79.1 million units in 2021, marking a 1.3% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the escalating automotive industry is set to propel the chemical surface treatment market forward.
The anticipated surge in the construction sector is poised to drive the expansion of the chemical surface treatment market in the foreseeable future. Construction encompasses the comprehensive process of conceptualizing, designing, assembling, and erecting physical structures, facilities, or infrastructure. Within this industry, chemical surface treatments play a pivotal role in augmenting the resilience, functionality, and visual appeal of construction materials. These treatments, including sealers, coatings, and water repellents, serve to safeguard concrete structures against water infiltration, chemical corrosion, and environmental deterioration. As an illustration, a September 2021 report from Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic research firm, forecasts a staggering 42% increase in global construction output by 2030, equating to a substantial rise of $4.5 trillion to reach a total of USD 15.2 trillion. Consequently, the escalating demand within the construction realm stands as a key driver behind the growth trajectory of the chemical surface treatment market.
The prevailing trend dominating the chemical surface treatment market centers around technological advancements. These innovations in surface coating treatments serve a crucial role in fortifying materials against wear and tear in high-stress applications. Specifically designed to exhibit wear resistance, minimize friction, and provide protection against corrosive substances and harsh cleaning agents, these treatments aim to enhance operational efficiencies. Key industry players within the chemical surface treatment sector are deeply engaged in crafting novel technological solutions to align with evolving customer needs. For instance, in January 2022, ABB, a renowned Switzerland-based automation company, unveiled low voltage flameproof motors engineered for use in explosive environments. Notably, these motors are equipped with advanced surface treatments that render them resilient even in the most severe environmental conditions. The motors are meticulously constructed with a robust frame and integrated feet to ensure both sturdiness and vibration-free performance in foot-mounted applications.
Leading companies within the chemical surface treatment market are directing their efforts towards introducing cutting-edge solutions such as PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) to establish a competitive advantage. PVF, a thermoplastic fluoropolymer, is renowned for its exceptional performance in challenging conditions, boasting high thermal stability, commendable chemical resistance, and outstanding dielectric properties. In a noteworthy development in December 2023, DuPont, a prominent US-based chemicals company, unveiled Printed Tedlar PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) solutions alongside PVF coating options. The Printed Tedlar PVF solutions, crafted with Tedlar-a distinctive material-combined with PVF coatings, exhibit remarkable attributes such as superior chemical resistance, flexibility, hydrolysis resistance, and UV stability. These materials find application in both architectural and industrial settings, harnessing surface treatment and coating technologies to enhance their performance and versatility.
