Architectural Metal Coatings Global Market Report 2024

Architectural metal coatings play a crucial role in extending the longevity of architectural structures, providing a protective layer that safeguards them from environmental factors. These coatings are not only easy to maintain and clean but also find application in indoor wall and ceiling coverings. Particularly, exterior metal coatings excel in offering excellent protection against UV rays, making them suitable for various structures, including pavements, curbs, portable buildings, stationary structures, and their associated components.

The primary types of resins utilized in architectural metal coatings include polyester, fluoropolymer, polyurethane, and other resins. Polyester architectural metal coatings, in the form of powder coatings, are applied to aluminum extrusion and sheets, steel, and galvanized steel substrates. Polyester coatings are favored in the construction sector due to their superior mechanical and exterior durability. Coil coatings within architectural metal coatings encompass roofing and cladding, wall panels and facades, fascia and soffits, and other coatings used in the extrusion coating of curtain walls, storefronts, doors and windows, and other extrusion applications.

This architectural metal coatings market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The architectural metal coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.23 billion in 2023 to $5.55 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The increase in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in the construction sector, increased investment in infrastructure, economic growth, population growth, and government support.

The architectural metal coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.21 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as rising disposable income, increasing urbanization, a growing adoption of energy-efficient buildings, and an upsurge in building renovations and retrofits. Key trends expected in this period involve the advancement of digital coating technologies, the use of antimicrobial coatings, the development of smart coatings, the adoption of low-energy coatings, and the prominence of sustainable coatings.

The architectural metal coatings market is experiencing growth due to increased infrastructure construction and investment. The expansion of construction activities is driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization in both developed and developing nations. Architectural metal coatings are essential in construction to protect structures from corrosion and harsh weather, while also providing an attractive aesthetic appearance. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported monthly construction spending estimates, with construction spending expected to reach $1,744.8 billion in April 2022, a 0.8% increase from the revised March estimate of $1,740.6 billion. This surge in construction activity is expected to drive demand for architectural metal coatings.

The architectural metal coatings market is also influenced by the increase in urbanization and urban development. Urbanization involves the migration of people from rural areas to cities, leading to a concentration of the population in urban areas and the expansion of city limits. As urban areas grow, metal structures and architectural elements become exposed to environmental factors such as pollution, harsh weather, and UV radiation. Architectural metal coatings play a crucial role in protecting these structures from corrosion, weathering, and degradation, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. For instance, a report from the World Bank in October 2022 indicated that over 50% of the global population was living in urban areas in 2022, and this number is expected to increase by 1.5 times to 6 billion by 2045, further fueling the demand for architectural metal coatings.

Technological advancement is a significant trend in the architectural metal coatings market. Leading companies are focusing on developing sustainable and eco-friendly coatings that prioritize user and environmental health. Architects and specifiers are increasingly seeking architectural metal coating alternatives that offer sustainability, durability, and a wide range of color options. For instance, in September 2021, Allnex, a German-based chemical manufacturing company, launched ECOWISE CHOICE, an environmentally friendly product line designed for use in construction and home decoration. This product line incorporates eco-friendly technologies such as waterborne, UV-curable, powder, and formaldehyde-free crosslinking solutions to enhance the sustainability of buildings worldwide.

Major companies within the architectural metal coatings market are spearheading innovations such as PPG STEELGUARD 951 to enhance their market standing and profitability. This advanced epoxy intumescent fire protection coating, designed to meet the demands of modern architectural steel, provides up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection. PPG Industries Inc., a US-based global supplier of paints, coatings, and specialty materials, introduced the PPG STEELGUARD 951 in February 2023. Based on patented flexible epoxy technology, this coating transforms from a thin, light layer into a thick, foam-like structure, safeguarding steel structures to offer extended protection during a fire incident, providing more time for evacuation and minimizing damage to buildings and assets.

In March 2023, Stahl Holdings B.V., a Dutch-based chemicals company specializing in manufacturing specialty coatings and treatments for flexible substrates, completed the acquisition of ICP Industrial, a US-based manufacturer of coating and adhesive solutions. The acquisition reflects Stahl Holdings B.V.'s commitment to fortifying their product range, production capabilities, and emphasizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leadership within the industry.
