The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising disposable income, rising urbanization, rising adoption of energy-efficient buildings, building renovations and retrofits. Major trends in the forecast period include digital coating technologies, antimicrobial coatings, smart coatings, low-energy coatings, 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 $1.74 trillion in April 2022, a 0.8% increase from the revised March estimate of $1.74 trillion. 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 gaining traction in the architectural metal coatings market. Leading companies in this sector are moving toward sustainable and eco-friendly coatings to safeguard both user health and the environment. Architects and specifiers are seeking alternatives in architectural metal coatings that offer sustainability, durability, and a diverse color palette. For example, in November 2023, AkzoNobel, a Netherlands-based coatings and paints company, introduced Interpon D1036 Low-E, an industry-first architectural powder coating that can be cured at temperatures as low as 150°C. This innovative product is certified as Qualicoat class one, making it a dependable choice for environmentally conscious consumers. By curing at temperatures 30°C lower than conventional powder coatings, Interpon D1036 Low-E can help customers decrease energy consumption by up to 20%. Furthermore, it facilitates a curing process that is up to 25% faster, allowing manufacturers to coat more products in less time.

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.

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.
