Urethane Surface Coatings Market

Urethane Surface Coatings Market Overview

Polyurethane surface coatings, often referred as urethane coatings, are high performance and high cost coatings known for their low temperature curing, high abrasion resistance, excellent outdoor weathering characteristic and high flexibility.

Urethane surface coatings are used in the wooden furniture industry, automobiles, aircraft, industrial marcher & equipment, electrical goods & industrial structures. Despite the relatively high cost of urethane coating, it has been one of the fastest-growing coating sectors in the global paints & coatings industry. The ultimate factor that creates a huge demand for urethane coating in high-performance applications is their excellent durability, pleasing optical property, resistance to abrasion & corrosion, and flexibility.

The global market for urethane surface coatings is expected to expand at a mid-single-digit CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for flexible coatings from the automotive & industrial sectors. In the present scenario, the global urethane coatings market is growing at a higher pace when compared to the global coatings market.

Urethane Surface Coatings Market Dynamics

Since urethane coatings have the ability to formulate coatings with lower content of organic solvent, it’s been used widely in multiple industries. The ability of urethanes surface coatings to formulate lower organic content is likely to boost the demand for urethane surface coatings in the automotive & industrial sectors along with others. However, urethane has experienced some decline during the global recession, especially in developed regions. This decline is followed by a quick recovery within 2-3 years of recession. In the current scenario, the global urethane surface coatings market is growing higher than the global coatings market.

Increasing demand for uniform exterior coating for various applications including automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, industrial machinery, marine body, wooden products among others is likely to accelerate the demand for urethane surface coatings.

In recent years, consumer preference for coatings is shifting towards powder coating due to its uniform visual appearance and thicker surface coating, which is likely to propel the demand for urethane surface coatings.

However, risks associated with volatile raw material prices and government laws corresponding to the use of urethane surface coatings are likely to hinder the growth of the market.

Urethane Surface Coatings Market Regional Overview

The global market for urethane surface coatings is analyzed under major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, East Asia, South Asia, Oceania, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region (including East Asia, South Asia & Oceania) is estimated to be dominating & fastest growing urethane surface coatings market. The high growth in Asia Pacific is attributed to rapid industrialization in the region. China alone holds the maximum market share of global urethane coatings market due to the presence of large manufacturing sector.

Rules & regulations regarding the use of urethane coating varies from country-to-country. For Instance, in Japan, only a small amount of urethane surface coatings is used for topcoats, due to high cost and environmental & regulatory pressure. Increasing investment in industrialization in developing countries are likely to boost the demand for urethane surface coatings market. North America is likely to be another prominent region holding a significant share followed by Europe. Both the regions are growing at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period.
