Market Restraints

The availability of alternative solutions such as hard and soft rubber lining systems, including natural rubber, chlorobutyl, bromobutyl, and neoprene is expected to restrict the growth of Germany acid proof linings. Rubber lining systems offer excellent chemical resistance against organic solvents, strong acids and bases, and aqueous phases. Moreover, the availability of corrosion protective polymer coatings based on polyurethane, alkyd, acrylic, fluoropolymers, epoxy and vinyl ester is further anticipated to hinder the market growth of acid proof linings.

The acid proof lining has low threshold temperature and is ineffective if not applied over the entire surface of the materials. This factor is expected to hinder the growth of Germany acid proof lining. Moreover, acid lining treatment requires a clean surface in order to ensure complete adhesion of the acid proof lining, which is expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.

Market Opportunities

Rising application of acid proof lining across oilfield pipelines as this offer proper mechanism for moving petroleum and other volatile products on the oil & gas industry are expected to offer immense growth opportunity to the market of the acid proof lining. The various existing pipeline is being rapidly lined with acid-proof coatings to renovate the corroded pipeline and avoid the other damages in the pipe. Therefore, rising application across the oil & gas industry is expected to propel the market growth of acid proof lining.

Strict emission rules and regulations in Germany along with the rising demand for eco-friendly coatings technologies is expected to fuel the market growth of acid proof lining. Moreover, the growing quarrying and mining industry is projected to create potential opportunities for the Germany acid proof lining market. Furthermore, growing infrastructural expenditure along with the expanding automotive industry in Germany is further expected to propel the market growth of acid proof lining.
