The global metal anodizing market size was valued at USD 12,656.3 Million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 20,588.0 Million in 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that provides decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish to metal surfaces. The metal is submerged in an electrolyte bath and made the anode of an electrical circuit.
The electrolyte is typically an acid, such as sulfuric acid and chromic acid. When an electric current is applied, the metal atoms at the surface of the anode lose electrons and combine with oxygen ions from electrolyte to form a layer of metal oxide. The thickness of oxide layer is controlled by the amount of time and current used.
Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process utilized to boost the thickness of the natural oxide layer over the surface of metal parts. The main characteristic of the electroplating and anodizing market is to offer a protective layer to metal products. This prevents rust, corrosion and boost its good characteristics such as aesthetics, conductivity and strength.
The global Metal Anodizing market is slightly impacted by Covid-19, due to the disruption in the supply chain and limitations in the cross broader transactions. The supply chain was disrupted in the initial stage of the lockdown, which declined the manufacturing of Metal Anodizings.
Demand for Lightweight and Corrosion Resistant Materials
The metal anodizing market is primarily driven by the rising need for strong, lightweight materials in automotive and aerospace industries. Anodized aluminum is a widely used material in the aerospace and automobile industries due to its lightweight. Thus, anodized metals are widely employed to improve fuel efficiency without compromising the structural integrity of vehicles.
In the marine industry, materials are constantly exposed to salt and water, which reduces the toughness of any material. Thus, anodized metals, such as aluminum, are extensively used due to their superior corrosion resistance, driving the market.
Rising Demand from the Construction Industry
The construction and architecture industry uses anodized metals as building supplies for both commercial and residential construction, decorative art, and structural elements due to their ability to provide aesthetic appeal, weather resistance, and low maintenance.
Anodized metals, such as aluminum, are used for panels, windows, and facades, due to their durability and ability to handle a variety of climatic conditions, thus boosting the market. Anodized metals are used in infrastructure development projects such as bridges, building facades, and other urban constructions due to their resistance to corrosion, durability, and aesthetic versatility.
Metal anodizing setup requires high initial investment due to need for specialized equipment and infrastructure. Establishing a metal anodizing plant involves substantial capital investment to achieve compliance with stringent regulations, operational effectiveness, and quality standards. Significant investments in essential equipment, such as anodizing tanks, rectifiers, ventilation systems, among others, are critical for process control and to ensure safe working environment.
These factors pose significant challenges for companies operating in this industry, which is likely to hinder the market. Significant investments are required for hiring skilled workforce and training them to ensure efficient operations and high product quality.
The adoption of anodized metal is increasing in various industries such as construction, aerospace, automotive, and medical, due to rising awareness about its numerous advantages. Increasing demand for lightweight components in the automotive industry is driving the market.
The industry uses anodized metals to manufacture components such as door handles, exhaust systems, and interior. Growing trend of luxury and green buildings is boosting the demand for anodized metals in the construction industry.
In the medical industry, anodized metals are used to produce medical devices such as implants, surgical instruments, and prosthetics. Thus, rising demand for anti-microbial surfaces is expected to propel the market.
