Coating Equipment Global Market Report 2026

The coating equipment is used for the application of the coating to a substrate. Coating equipment is used to coat machines, tools, instruments, and other items or articles that are intended for specific functions, services, purposes, or activities in order to protect them from corrosion or degradation and to extend their life span with lower maintenance and part replacement costs.

The main types of coating equipment are powder coating equipment, liquid coating equipment, and specialty coating equipment. Powder coating refers to polymer resin systems combined with curatives, pigments, levelling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives. Powder spray guns and powder spray booths are generally used for the application of powder coatings. The different materials include polyester, polyurethane, acrylic, PVC, epoxy, and silicon and are used in various applications such as brushed, dipped, or sprayed surfaces, diffusion, laser processing, plating, thermal spraying, and vapor deposition. It is employed in several sectors, including automotive, medical, aerospace, industrial, building and construction, marine, electrical and electronics, and other end users.
