The surface protection service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $17.06 billion in 2024 to $20.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising knowledge regarding asset protection, strict safety and environmental regulations, cost-effectiveness and financial gains, customer requirement for superior goods, and rising adoption in the automotive sector.
The surface protection service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing urbanization and industrialization, technological progress, growth of the aerospace and defense industry, growth in the end-use sector, and rising knowledge regarding asset protection. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, emergence of green technologies, specialization for diverse applications, automation and technological developments, and growing investments in R and D activities.
The anticipated growth of the surface protection services market is expected to be driven by the expansion of the renewable energy sector. This sector encompasses industries, technologies, and services involved in generating, distributing, and utilizing energy from renewable sources. The growth in renewable energy is fueled by increasing awareness and concern about climate change, advancements in battery technology and other energy storage solutions, as well as government subsidies, tax incentives, and grants. Surface protection services are crucial in the renewable energy sector as they provide protective coatings and treatments for components such as solar panels, wind turbine blades, and hydroelectric equipment. For example, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK government agency, the turnover of the UK's low carbon and renewable energy economy (LCREE) rose by 28.0% between 2021 and 2022, reaching £69.4 billion ($87.88 billion). This growth underscores how the expansion of the renewable energy sector is driving demand within the surface protection service market.
Leading companies in the surface protection service market are actively innovating their product offerings, such as the development of copper nozzles tailored for specific material properties and capabilities in thermal spraying processes. These nozzles are designed to deliver effective surface protection through attributes such as corrosion resistance, antimicrobial properties, thermal conductivity, and aesthetic appeal, catering to diverse industrial applications. An example of this innovation is seen with Hardide Coatings, a US-based company specializing in advanced surface coating technology. In March 2024, they introduced the initial model from their new series of Hardide-enhanced components, featuring a 4-inch JP-5000 copper nozzle optimized for high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating. The utilization of such copper nozzles facilitates the creation of robust, high-performance surface coatings on components, highlighting the efficacy of copper in enhancing surface protection services.
In January 2022, Integrated Global Services Inc., a US-based provider of thermal spray surface protection solutions, acquired AmStar for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to broaden Integrated Global Services' portfolio of corrosion and erosion-resistant coatings. AmStar, also based in the US, specializes in surface protection services.
