Plastic Coatings Market - Industry Analysis, Forecast 2024
Plastic
coatings are used in various applications in different sectors such as
automotive, oil & gas, building & construction, electronics,
aerospace and defense. Some Functional uses of plastic coatings include
corrosion inhibition, abrasion resistance, thermal resistance, chemical
resistance, UV resistance, lubrication, mechanical property enhancement,
surface finish, and esthetics. Implementation of higher number of
environmentally-friendly regulations is expected to encourage
manufacturers in the coatings industry to opt for water-based plastic
coatings.

Plastic
coatings can be classified based on their application into
architectural coatings, industrial coatings, and special purpose
coatings. Architectural coatings account for around 50% share of the
global coatings industry. These include consumer paints. Industrial
coatings are used at the time of manufacture of products. Special
coatings comprise a wide range of functional coatings and can be
sub-divided into automotive refinish coatings, industrial maintenance
coatings, traffic marking paints, and marine paints. Plastic coatings
can be applied to substrates in many ways. These include chemical &
electrochemical techniques, spraying, roll-to-roll coating, and spin
coating.
Polyurethane,
polyester, epoxy, and PTFE are the most widely used plastic coatings.
PU coatings are recommended for application on surfaces requiring good
wear resistance along with excellent chemical & physical resistance.
Epoxy coatings are harder, more durable, and possess higher compression
strength than polyurethanes; however, they have lower resistance to
abrasion and low freezing temperature. Polyester coatings are widely
used to provide wear & tear resistance, water resistance, and
chemical resistance to wood. They also possess the fastest curing time.
PTFE
coatings have high temperature and chemical resistance and low surface
energy. Thus, they are ideal materials to be used in ‘non-stick’
applications. Chlorinated rubber coatings are employed in marine
environments, as they are resistant to salts, alkalis, mineral oils,
moisture, and fungal growth. Various plastics incorporated with carbon
particles or metallic particles are used in conductive coatings or EMI
shielding. Other applications of plastic coatings include barrier
protection, antiglare, super hydrophobicity, anti-contamination, and
esthetic finishes.
Increase
in demand for plastic coatings in the automotive end-use segment is
anticipated to drive the plastic coatings market in the next few years.
Europe accounts for significant share of the plastic coatings market due
to the rise in demand from automobile manufacturers concentrated in the
region. Consumption of protective plastic coatings is high in Asia
Pacific primarily due to the prevalence of hot and wet climatic
conditions and increase in oil & gas and mining activities in the
region. Plastic coatings are predominantly used in China due to the
rapid growth of the civil and marine industries in the country.

The
per capita consumption of plastic coatings in India remains low with
only architectural paints being widely used. These factors coupled with
renewed focus on industrialization in India under the ‘Make in India’
campaign make plastic coatings one of the most highly attractive growth
markets in Asia Pacific. Japan and Taiwan are key players in the plastic
coatings market as they are one of the leading manufacturers of
electricals and electronics. The outlook of the plastic coatings market
in the U.S appears positive, due to the recovery of construction and
automobile industries from the economic recession of 2008. In addition,
water based coatings are expected to become increasingly used as
manufacturers seek solutions to the recent environmental regulations
against polluting petroleum based coatings.
Key
players operating in the plastic coatings market are Bayer SE, PPG
Industries, Eastman, Azko Nobel, Sherwin-Williams, Bayer A.G, Axalta
Coating Systems, Kansai Painting Co,. Ltd, Asian Paints, and RPM
International Inc.
