The market is expected to witness positive growth over the forecast period. The demand for powder coatings from consumer appliances and construction industries has been increasing significantly. Powder coatings are vastly being adopted by manufacturers due to benefits like reduced wastage and easy application over liquid coatings. Also, stringent environment regulations restricting the use of VOCs are expected to propel the adoption of low emission powder coatings. Key players are focusing on developing bio-based and recycled material-based powder coatings to further increase their sustainability and market share. Growing construction and infrastructure development activities along with expanding consumer appliances industry in emerging nations will drive revenue generation in the global powder coatings market during the forecast time period.

An Environmentally Friendly Finish

Powder coatings are increasingly being demanded for their eco-friendly properties. Manufacturers across industries are moving towards powder coating as it allows for a dry, no-solvent process. Powder coatings cure at oven temperatures, making it a more sustainable alternative to liquid paints which release volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. They can be easily reclaimed and reused, producing very little waste. Powder coated products are also very durable and provide superior corrosion resistance. As environmental regulations are progressing, many countries have strict norms regarding VOC emissions. This is encouraging greater acceptance of powder coating technology. Sustainable finishing is no longer a novelty but a business necessity. Leading companies want to showcase their green credentials and powder coatings allow them to achieve that.

Meeting the Demands of Downstream Industries

The construction sector has always been a major consumer of powder coatings. Architectural applications such as fencing, shutters, and window frames need robust and long lasting finishes that can withstand weathering. Powder coatings deliver on this requirement and their maintenance-free nature is additionally attractive. In recent years, buoyant infrastructure development across developing economies has majorly driven powder coating intake in the construction industry. Another growth area has been residential fittings and appliances. More builders are offering powder coated fixtures as consumers seek homes with low maintenance exteriors and interiors. Even in developed markets, homeowners prefer powder coated interior components for their fade and abrasion resistant qualities. The automotive industry too has risen as a prominent end-user. More OEMs are adopting advanced powder coating systems for achieving the stringent design aesthetics and protection requirements of contemporary vehicles. Other downstream sectors such as agricultural equipment and oil & gas equipment have emerged as opportunities for coating formulators to develop application-specific products.
