Powder Coatings Market Analysis
The Powder Coatings Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 5.5% during the forecast period.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, nationwide lockdowns around the globe disrupted manufacturing activities, and supply chains, production halts, and labor unavailability negatively impacted the powder coating market in 2020. However, the conditions started recovering in 2021, restoring the market's growth trajectory during the forecast period.
- Over the medium term, the significant factors driving the market studied are strict regulation against VOC emissions and favorable government initiatives promoting powder coatings usage.
- Conversely, the difficulties in obtaining thin film coatings are expected to hinder the market's growth.
- Nevertheless, growing investments in the infrastructure and construction industry in the emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific region is likely to create growth opportunities for the market studied.
- Asia-Pacific dominated the market globally, with the most significant consumption from countries such as China, South Korea, and India.
Powder Coatings Market Trends
Growing Demand from Architectural and Decorative Segment
- One of the fastest-growing markets for powder coatings is the architectural and building market, primarily due to powder coating durability.
- Moreover, polyester resin technology expansion, namely stable, low-gloss formulas, provided architectural market opportunities that promoted powder coating growth.
- Due to the variety of colours and finishes available in powder coatings, many construction companies are turning to powder coatings to provide long-term exterior finishes for outdoor venues and public work projects.
- In April 2021, PT Jababeka Morotai, a subsidiary of Jababeka Group, collaborated with the OISCA International College Foundation (OISCA International) to develop the Morotai Special Economic Zone (KEK). Under this collaboration, a World War II monument and supporting facilities will get constructed in KEK, North Maluku Province, Indonesia.
