Historical Vs Future Outlook of Concrete Floor Coatings Market

Concrete floor coating manufacturers have witnessed steady rise in demand with increase in requirements for indoor and outdoor applications.

While demand for epoxy-based coatings has spiraled upward, expansion of the construction and building industry has further fuelled the sales of concrete floor coatings in the past years.

According to Fact.MR, the global concrete floor coatings market expanded at 3.8% CAGR (value) during the last 5 years from 2016 to 2020.

New innovations by top companies coupled with increase in investments on various research & development (R&D) activities are propelling market growth.

As the construction industry has got back on its feet after suffering a set-back due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, key players are set to witness surge in demand for concrete floor coatings in the near future.

According to Fact.MR, the global concrete floor coatings market is subject to expand at close to 6% CAGR (value) through 2031.

Why is Demand for Concrete Floor Coatings Surging from the Construction Industry?

Concrete floor coatings, being highly efficient in providing chemical and mechanical resistance and smooth finishing to concrete floors, are highly required in the construction industry.

According to the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Building America Program has been a source of innovations in residential building industry in America.

As stated by DOE, on 10th February 2020, the Building Technologies Office in America awarded US$ 26.3 million to 40 competitively selected projects, led by 29 organizations, to pursue innovations that can advance the goals of BTO’s Advanced Building Construction (ABC) with energy-efficient technologies and practices activities.

Such initiatives are aiding the steady growth of the building and construction industry, which, in turn, is fuelling the sales of concrete floor coatings.

What’s Restraining the Growth of Concrete Floor Coating Manufacturers?

While concrete floor coatings are crucial for any building or construction project, there are a few restraining factors worth the attention of manufacturers. Despite being highly preferred as a coating material for concrete floors, epoxy coatings have some drawbacks, such as

• Complex and costly installation process
• Emission of strong toxic fumes
• Tendency of cracking and chipping on high impact areas
• Time-consuming to finish the coating process

And others.

However, concrete floor coating manufacturers are working hard and continuously investing in research & development activities to overcome these constraints.
