Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Dynamics

Driver 

Rising trend of electric vehicles (EVs)

The automotive industry has developed drastically with the advancements in modern technologies. Currently, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is an ongoing trend that is shaping the automotive sector positively. The demand for EVs has increased rapidly in recent times due to rising awareness regarding environmental problems along with increasing prices of fossil fuels. Also, automotive manufacturers have started manufacturing EVs that are affordable and come with superior features. Moreover, the governments of several countries are allowing tax exemptions for adopting EVs along with launching initiatives to strengthen the EV infrastructures. Thus, with the growing demand for EVs, the demand for corrosion protective coating increases due to several applications in charging infrastructure, cooling systems, battery enclosures and connections, electrical contacts and connectors, and others. This, in turn, drives the growth of the corrosion protective coatings market. 

  • For instance, in April 2024, the Netherlands government announced an initiative stating that fully electric vehicles are exempted from every tax, and plug-in hybrid vehicles will get a 50% reduction in taxes till the end of 2024. 
  • For instance, in July 2023, ProXL launched XPRESS605. XPRESS605 is a superior-performance VHS clear coating that is used in the automotive sector for providing a high gloss gun finish along with rapid curing.

Restraint

Less affordability and strict compliance 

The prices of raw materials such as pigments, additives, zinc oxide, resin, solvents, and some others have increased in recent times. Also, the workforce engaged in coatings industries lacks high skills, and their wage rates are also growing gradually. Thus, with the rise in wage rates and raw material prices, the coating companies have to increase the prices of the end products to earn maximum profits. This, in turn, restrains the market growth. Moreover, there are several government policies that forbid the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are important for the coating industry and are expected to restrain the growth of the corrosion protective coatings market during the forecast period.

Opportunity

Innovations in coatings 

The coating industry has been growing rapidly with the development of science and technology in recent times. Recently, scientists have developed smart coatings that find applications in several industries. Smart coatings are integrated with nanomaterials that provide added functions such as stimuli response or environment sensing. Thus, rising innovations in smart coatings are expected to create ample growth opportunities for market players in the future.
