Corrosion protection coatings are solutions employed to prevent metal degradation caused by environmental factors such as exposure, oxidation, and moist air. These coatings add a protective layer to metal surfaces and can be made from materials like zinc or iron, applied in various forms such as a base layer, primer, or topcoat.
The main types of corrosion protection coatings include epoxy, polyurethane, zInc., alkyd, acrylic, chlorinated rubber, and others. Epoxy, for instance, is a polymer composed of carbon chains connected to elements like hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. Epoxy coatings offer optimum protection against mechanical erosion and electrochemical attack. Various technologies, including water-based, solvent-based, powder-based, and others, are utilized in industries such as marine, oil and gas, petrochemical, infrastructure, power generation, water treatment, among others.
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 are impacting the corrosion protection coating market by increasing costs of imported resins, specialty chemicals, pigments, and zinc-based raw materials used in coating formulations. Infrastructure, marine, and oil and gas projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported coating inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented coating production. These tariffs are increasing project costs and affecting coating selection decisions. However, they are also supporting local raw material sourcing, domestic coating manufacturing, and innovation in alternative and bio-based coating technologies.
The corrosion protection coating market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides corrosion protection coating market statistics, including corrosion protection coating industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a corrosion protection coating market share, detailed corrosion protection coating market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the corrosion protection coating industry. This corrosion protection coating market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The corrosion protection coating market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.68 billion in 2025 to $19.99 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of infrastructure and industrial assets, growth of marine and offshore installations, increasing use of metal structures in harsh environments, rising awareness of corrosion-related maintenance costs, availability of advanced coating formulations.
The corrosion protection coating market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable infrastructure, rising demand for eco-friendly coating technologies, expansion of offshore energy projects, growing focus on lifecycle cost reduction, increasing adoption of smart surface protection solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-performance protective coatings, rising demand for water-based and low-voc coatings, growing use of zinc-rich and epoxy coatings in infrastructure, expansion of long-life marine and offshore coatings, enhanced focus on asset life extension.
The growing oil and gas industry is expected to drive the corrosion protection coatings market. Economic expansion increases the demand for oil and gas products, which in turn boosts the need for corrosion protection coatings to safeguard steel structures in oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities. For instance, in March 2023, according to the US Energy Information Administration, U.S. crude oil output rose to 12.4 million b/d in 2023 from 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Therefore, the expansion of the oil and gas industry is propelling the corrosion protection coatings market.
Companies in the corrosion protection coatings market are developing innovative solutions such as corrosion control powder coatings to expand their customer base and increase revenue. Corrosion control powder coatings are dry coatings applied to metal surfaces to prevent corrosion and enhance durability. For example, in June 2023, Akzo Nobel N.V., a Netherlands-based paints and coatings manufacturer, launched Interpon Redox, a high-performance powder coating for steel and other metals. The Interpon Redox portfolio includes three systems tailored for different substrates and environments: Interpon Redox Active, offering a broad curing window and excellent edge coverage; Interpon Redox Plus, providing robust protection for various substrates and pre-treatment methods; and Interpon Redox PZ, a high-performance powder primer for protecting blasted steel against corrosion, particularly in coastal and high-humidity conditions.
In May 2024, Acuren Group Inc., a US-based inspection services provider, acquired Advance Coating Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to expand Acuren's expertise in surface treatment and coating technologies, further solidifying its position as a top provider of nondestructive testing (NDT) services. Advance Coating Solutions Inc. is a Canada-based company specializing in corrosion coatings.
