The rapid growth observed in end-use industries, including marine, oil and gas, petrochemical, and construction, is a significant driver behind the expanding market for corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings. Industries such as marine, oil and gas, construction, and petrochemicals have experienced substantial growth in recent years, fueled by economic expansion and industrialization. These sectors, characterized by extensive pipeline infrastructure exposed to corrosive chemicals and moisture, consistently require coatings to protect pipelines from corrosion. For example, a June 2022 estimate by the International Energy Agency (IEA) projected a global energy investment expansion of 8% in 2022, reaching USD 2.4 trillion, with a notable increase anticipated in renewable energy. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a 0.8% rise in construction spending to $1.74 trillion in April 2022 compared to the revised March estimate of $1.74 trillion. This growth in end-use industries is expected to drive the corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings market forward.

The increasing demand for oil and gas is anticipated to be a key factor propelling the corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings market. The oil and gas industry, encompassing the extraction and refinement of hydrocarbon resources, relies on these coatings for pipelines, refineries, and storage tanks to maintain temperature control and reduce energy losses. As of March 2023, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported crude oil output at 12.4 million b/d, up from 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Furthermore, in September 2022, the average daily consumption of natural gas in the U.S. reached 86.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf/d), marking the highest annual consumption compared to the previous year. This surge in demand for oil and gas is a driving force behind the growth of the corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings market.

Strategic partnerships have emerged as a notable trend in the corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings market, with major companies entering into collaborations to expand their market presence.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) refers to the corrosion of steel and iron equipment caused by the entry of moisture from insulation vents. Spray-on insulation coating is an epoxy-based coating applied to the inner lining of insulation pipes using compressed air. This coating helps extend the service life of the pipeline and protects it from corrosion. Both Corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings are essential for safeguarding metal and metal components from degradation and deterioration due to exposure to moisture, oxidation, and heat.

The main types of products in the corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings category include solvent-based coatings, water-based paint, and powder coating. Solvent-based coatings utilize a liquefying agent for metal protection, evaporating after exposure to air and thereby reducing drying time. Various materials are used in these coatings, including epoxy anticorrosive coating, polyurethane coating, inorganic zinc-rich coating, alkyd coating, acrylic coating, chlorinated rubber coating, among others. These coatings find applications in industries such as marine, oil and gas, petrochemical, energy and power, and others.
