Acrylic Powder Coating Global Market Report 2026

Acrylic powder coating is a type of finish applied as a dry powder and then cured with heat to create a durable, protective layer. Known for its aesthetic qualities, durability, and eco-friendliness, it is widely used for both protective and decorative purposes in various industries.

The main categories of acrylic powder coatings are thermoplastic and thermosetting. Thermoplastic acrylic powder coatings are heat-sensitive, made from acrylic resins that soften and melt when exposed to heat, creating a durable, high-gloss finish that can be reshaped or remelted. These coatings offer excellent weather resistance and surface protection. They are applied using techniques such as electrostatic spray, fluidized bed, and electrostatic fluidized bed, with finishes available in glossy, semi-glossy, matte, metallic, and textured formulations. These coatings offer different levels of chemical resistance-high, medium, or low-and are used in industries such as automotive, construction, appliances, furniture, and aerospace.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the acrylic powder coating market by increasing costs of imported resins, curing agents, and coating equipment used in high performance applications. These effects are most evident in automotive, construction, and appliance manufacturing across Europe and Asia Pacific. Elevated tariffs have influenced coating system costs and investment decisions. However, tariffs have also encouraged regional coating production, strengthened domestic supply chains, and supported innovation in locally formulated powder coatings with enhanced performance characteristics.

This industry is experiencing growth due to the rising global demand for electric vehicles, advancements in autonomous driving technologies, and increasing consumer preferences for mobility solutions and smart transportation systems. Acrylic powder coating is utilized in the automotive industry to deliver durable, weather-resistant, and UV-stable finishes that protect vehicle surfaces from corrosion, scratches, and environmental wear while enhancing their aesthetic appeal. For example, in September 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that the manufacturing sector for motor vehicles increased by $12.8 billion (£9.6 billion), representing a 22.0% rise, bringing the total to $71 billion (£53.3 billion) in 2023. Consequently, the growing adoption of acrylic powder coatings in the automotive sector is propelling market growth.

Leading companies in the acrylic powder coating market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as acrylic coating systems, to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish. These systems, made from acrylic resins, act as protective layers that offer durable, weather-resistant, and UV-stable finishes for various surfaces, enhancing their appearance while protecting them from environmental damage. For instance, in July 2024, Akzo Nobel N.V., a Netherlands-based paints and coatings firm, introduced the Selva Pro range of 2K polyurethane and acrylic coating systems. This range includes three systems, the Selva Pro Chiaro and Selva Pro Bianco polyurethane systems, as well as the Selva Pro Acrilico acrylic system. Selva Pro Acrilico features a smooth formulation that highlights the natural beauty of wood grain, making it ideal for high-quality and expressive wood types. It offers multiple finish options, including a pigmented topcoat, a neutral topcoat, a clear topcoat, and a clear 'Naturale' topcoat with a contemporary dead flat finish that aligns with current design trends. Similar to Selva Pro Bianco, the Acrilico neutral topcoat provides excellent tinting stability when mixed with a neutral base.
