Hot Dip Galvanizing Market Report 2026

The hot dip galvanizing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $68.89 billion in 2025 to $73.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing automotive production, expansion of construction and civil projects, rising industrialization in emerging economies, increasing demand for durable metal components, technological advancements in galvanizing techniques.

The hot dip galvanizing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $93.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards large-scale continuous galvanizing, rising use in electronic appliances, demand for environmentally friendly zinc coatings, growth in infrastructure and architectural applications, adoption of automated and digital galvanizing solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of continuous galvanizing processes, rising demand for corrosion-resistant coatings, expansion of automotive applications, increased use in civil and architectural structures, growth in sheet, coil, tube, and wire galvanizing.

The rise in construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the hot-dip galvanizing market in the coming years. The rapid growth of the construction industry is fueled by increasing urbanization and population growth, which demand infrastructure development such as housing, commercial buildings, and transportation networks. Furthermore, government initiatives, investments in smart city projects, and advancements in construction technologies are boosting growth by enhancing efficiency and sustainability in building processes. Hot-dip galvanizing is used in construction to protect steel structures from corrosion, improving their durability and lifespan, which is crucial for building resilient infrastructure. For example, in March 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government statistical office, reported that in November 2024, construction production grew by 0.6% in the euro area and by 0.8% in the EU. As a result, increasing construction activities will drive the growth of the hot-dip galvanizing market.

Key players in the hot-dip galvanizing market are making strategic investments in advanced galvanizing facilities to reduce environmental impact while catering to the rising demand for durable, corrosion-resistant products. These advanced facilities employ state-of-the-art technology and automation to enhance the coating process, improve efficiency, ensure consistent quality, and minimize environmental impact in applying zinc coatings to steel. For instance, in March 2024, GALVATECH Ltd., a South African provider of advanced hot-dip galvanizing solutions, inaugurated a cutting-edge galvanizing facility in the Western Cape. This new facility, equipped with a 14-meter zinc kettle and an advanced encapsulated pre-treatment process, aims to set new standards in corrosion protection and solidify Galvatech's position as a leading galvanizer in the region. It is certified to meet SANS 121 and ISO 1461 standards, ensuring high-quality, distinctive coatings.

In July 2025, AZZ Inc, a US-based metal coating and galvanizing company, acquired Canton Galvanizing LLC. With this acquisition, AZZ aimed to expand its metal coating capacity and strengthen its geographic presence in the Midwest region of the United States by integrating Canton’s galvanizing facility into its existing network, allowing it to better serve customers and support growth. Canton Galvanizing LLC, based in the US, specializes in hot-dip galvanizing of small to mid-sized metal parts.
