Market Overview

The high performance coatings market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period. One of the major factors driving the market studied includes increasing construction activities in the United States and Asia-Pacific. Solvent-based adhesives are being phased out to reduce VOC emissions; this is expected to significantly hinder the growth of the market studied.

  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period.
  • By end-user industry, the building and construction industry is expected to witness the highest demand for high performance coating during the forecast period.



Key Market Trends

Growing Demand from Building & Construction Industry

  • High performance coatings provide the following qualities, such as exceptional corrosion protection, abrasion resistance and high resistance to impact, excellent chemical and thermal resistance, extreme durability and strength, and it also contributes to the aesthetics as well.
  • The global construction sector is expected to expand in real terms, by an annual average of 3.2% in the coming decade, to a nominal value of more than USD 6.0 trillion.
  • The rapid increase in population, in regions of developing nations, is expected to give a rise in demand for residential construction, which, in turn, augments the usage of high performance coatings.
  • The key areas of expected growth are social infrastructure, schools, hospitals, government accommodation, water, defense infrastructure, and water resources.
  • In the non-residential construction, the major growth was witnessed in healthcare, commercial, and office buildings. The investment in transportation, communication, and power infrastructure has also witnessed growth in the forecast period. All these factors are expected to improve the demand for the studied market.



China to Dominate the Demand in Asia-Pacific Region

  • China is expected to dominate the high performance coatings market in Asia-Pacific and is also likely to witness the fastest growing demand.
  • The market is estimated to witness a healthy growth over the assessment period, due to rising construction activities, along with the high adoption rate from various end-user industries such as, industrial, and aerospace & defense sector.
