“Industrial Applications Stimulating the Growth of Coating Additives Market”

The rapid growth in the application of automotive and wood & furniture coating additives is expected to magnify the growth of coating additives in the forthcoming years.

Further, coating ingredients are used in construction paints to enhance the viscosity and the surface effectiveness of substrates. The need for paints and coatings is anticipated to increase as the construction sector expands. As a result, the market for coating additives is anticipated to develop over the following years, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% to reach beyond US$ 15.1 Bn by 2033.

Moreover, coating additives are a class of chemically created materials that have a variety of uses in different sectors and due to performance improvements the demand for coating additives is increasing across the automotive and other end-use industries.

In addition, the coating additives market expansion is greatly influenced by sustainability. Numerous industries and enterprises are turning to environmentally friendly materials as the world moves closer to environmental preservation. Manufacturers of coating additives use environmentally acceptable resources to produce the additives. The market for environmentally friendly coating additives will expand further as a result of expanding of these products.

“Volatility in Raw Material Prices Hamper Coating Additives Consumption”

One of the biggest issues faced by producers in the coating additives market is the price volatility of raw materials. Many of the chemicals used in the production of functional coating additives are essentially derivatives of crude oil. One of the key sources of raw materials, such as phenols and aromatic amines, for the production of functional additives, continues to be the oil and gas sector.

Crude oil price fluctuations continue to have a significant impact on the cost of raw materials used to make functional additives. The cost of functional additives is impacted by the volatility of raw material prices, which presents significant hurdles for manufacturers in terms of generating profits.

Further, concerns about environmental deterioration are growing as a result of rising emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from traditional coatings hampering the growth of the coating additives market.

The majority of governments have put restrictions on the use of dangerous and environmentally damaging coatings. Hence, limitations on the applications of coatings are likely to restrict the market for coating additives.

Country-wise Insights

What are the Factors Driving Coating Additives Demand Across the US?

The growing coating additives industry in the US plays a significant role in the growth of the US economy. The top coating additives producers, suppliers, raw material providers, and distributors are all part of the U.S. coatings industry. There are about 1,000 companies in the sector, and they operate in close to 1,300 locations.

Urban areas such as Chicago, Northern New Jersey, California, Florida, and Washington State are home to coating industry facilities. More than half of the paint sold in the US is shipped in the form of architectural coatings, and 90% of all architectural coatings sold there are water-based.

The United States economy greatly benefits from the construction sector. The US economy is dependent on a vast network of infrastructure, including, bridges, ports, electrical grids, and others. The nation's market for coating additives is primarily being propelled by expanding investment in the residential construction sector and rising demand for remodeling aging structures.

Why is the China Coating Additives Market Expected to Be Highly Lucrative?

Why is the Popularity of Architectural Application of Coating Additives Rising Rapidly?

The majority of coating additives are used in architecture, which lowers the frequency of periodic maintenance by improving building quality for a longer period of time.

Further, to provide resistance to corrosion, heat, and moisture in various applications such as underground pipelines, towers, and others industrial coating additives are frequently used. Different regional economic growth will progressively result in increased industrial activity, which is anticipated to benefit the market for architectural coatings additives.

In addition, architectural coatings are also widely used to create the air barriers necessary to improve energy efficiency in building enclosures. By preventing air from passing through the building, air barriers safeguard the structure and improve the effectiveness of the heating and cooling systems.

In commercial and institutional buildings, such as hospitals, schools, universities, and hotel lobbies, demand for high-performance coating additives is significantly increasing the sales of the product.

How are Rheology Modifiers Stimulating Sales of Coating Additives?

Automotive and architectural coatings are the main applications for rheology modifiers. They are utilized to modify elements like storage stability, soft texture, and film thicknesses as well as control flow viscosity, and are considered one of the most crucial qualities of coating compositions.

Further, the need for rheology additives is growing as coating additive benefits increase and coating manufacturers focus more on raising the caliber of their coatings. Making coatings more viscous, enhancing their textural qualities, and extending their shelf life significantly increase the demand for the product.

In addition, the need for rheology additives is anticipated to rise significantly since the flow behavior of coating formulations has a significant impact on application and film formation.
