The global epoxy coatings market size is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising demand from paints and coatings industry globally.
Epoxy coatings are long-lasting coatings made from a polyamine hardener and an epoxide resin in a chemical process. This is termed as curing, where it can take anywhere between a few minutes to several hours, based on the strength & hardness of the coating required. Since these coatings can form a robust, long-lasting, and chemically resistant film; they are employed in a range of protective coating applications in the automotive, transportation, building and construction industries. Epoxy coating techniques produce a robust, durable, and impact-resistant protective film with exceptional adherence. These coatings are primarily water-based or powder-based and are gaining popularity over traditional solvent-based coating systems due to the numerous benefits they provide. Fewer coats are required to obtain the necessary film thickness, low-temperature curing process, compliance with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and a reduction in the need for air ventilation during curing and application. Epoxy powder-based coating is rapidly replacing wet paint as the preferred finishing technique owing to its low VOC emissions, formulas, and technological developments.
The COVID-19 outbreak has brought negative impact on the epoxy coatings market due to emergency restrictions and lockdowns by respective regulatory bodies across the region, which resulted in disruption in demand and supply chain globally. The market is expected to recover soon as gradual lifting of emergency lockdown by governments across the globe.
