Powder Coatings Global Market Report 2024

The powder coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.06 billion in 2023 to $20.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the durability and corrosion resistance offered by powder coating, its applications in industrial and manufacturing sectors, its role in the automotive industry, and its use in architectural and building materials.

The powder coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing focus on sustainability and reduced environmental impact, the development of renewable energy infrastructure, expansion within the automotive sector, and the demand for customized and functional coatings. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in technology, the adoption of smart coatings, the integration of nanotechnology, and the emergence of bio-based powder coatings.

The powder coatings market is anticipated to experience significant growth, driven by the increasing demand in the construction sector. The construction industry, encompassing a wide array of activities related to infrastructure and building planning, design, construction, renovation, and maintenance, serves as a substantial market for powder coatings. These coatings are frequently applied to architectural elements like aluminum and steel window frames, doors, railings, and curtain wall systems. They offer a durable, weather-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish that enhances the visual appeal of buildings. For example, according to a report from Oxford Economics in September 2021, the global construction output in 2020 amounted to $10.7 trillion, and it is expected to increase by 42%, or $4.5 trillion, between 2020 and 2030, reaching a total of USD 15.2 trillion. This remarkable growth in the construction sector is a key driver behind the expansion of the powder coatings market.

The primary types of powder coatings are thermoset and thermoplastic. Thermoset materials are predominantly utilized in most powder coating processes due to their ability to create a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface layer. The primary coating methods include electrostatic spray and the use of the fluidized bed, which are applied in various sectors such as appliances, automotive, architectural applications, furniture, agriculture, construction, earthmoving equipment (ACE), general industrial purposes, and other relevant industries.

The powder coatings market is also set to benefit from the increasing demand in the automobile sector. The automobile industry, which encompasses various businesses and institutions engaged in vehicle creation, production, marketing, and sales, represents another significant market for powder coatings. These coatings find application in coating exterior body panels like car hoods, fenders, and doors, providing a smooth, durable, and corrosion-resistant finish that not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also shields it from environmental elements. For example, data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in March 2022 revealed that passenger car sales in the US increased by 5.5% in 2021, with over 11.9 million units sold. Moreover, 6.3 million passenger cars were manufactured in US facilities in 2021, marking a 3.1% increase from the previous year. This trend was also reflected on a global scale, with a 2.7% rise in total worldwide car production, reaching 63.2 million units in 2021. Therefore, the growth in the automobile sector plays a pivotal role in driving the expansion of the powder coatings market.

The powder coating is an energy-intensive process, particularly during the curing phase, which is where the paint is allowed to dry and harden. The substantial energy consumption leads to increased operational costs for manufacturing companies. As an example, in Sweden, more than 350 powder coating plants that use over one metric ton of coating powder each account for a total annual energy consumption of 525 GWh, equivalent to 1.5 GWh per plant. Consequently, the high energy requirements in powder coating processes act as a limiting factor in the market's growth.

To address this challenge, companies are increasingly focusing on new coating technologies designed for heat-sensitive substrates like medium-density fiberboard (MDF). These technologies operate at lower temperatures during the curing process, leading to reduced energy consumption compared to conventional methods. One such innovation is IGP-RAPID by IGP, which relies on new raw materials and IGP technology to enable low-temperature powder coatings at 266°F (130°C) with curing times as short as 3 minutes. This approach is not only eco-friendly but also enhances product design while providing long-term functional protection.

Major companies operating in the powder coatings market are embracing innovative technologies to ensure the accessibility of coatings across a wide range of applications and to enhance their profitability. One notable example is the launch of online powder coatings e-commerce websites, offering resources, equipment, systems, supplies, and products for powder coating. For instance, PPG Industries Inc., a US-based paint and coatings manufacturing company, introduced an online powder e-commerce website in September 2021. This platform makes PPG's powder coatings readily available in small quantities to powder coating job shops, metal fabricators, manufacturers, and various businesses in the United States, with the convenience of direct purchases and free shipping through the PPG eCommerce store.
