Market Trends of Abrasion Resistant Coating Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Abrasion Resistant Coating Market according to our research experts:
Increased Demand from Power Generation Industry
- In the power generation end-use industry, abrasion resistant coatings are used in applications such as wind turbine blades, concrete cooling towers, valves, containment vessels, nuclear components, generators, dam structure, and turbines. The use of abrasion resistant coatings in this industry is mostly to withstand weather conditions.
- In the wind energy industry, fluoropolymers-based abrasion resistant coatings are used in wind blades, which enhances the operability of the blades by 20 years as compared to traditional paints and gelcoats. It improves UV stability, enables minimal dirt pick up, and offers excellent abrasion resistance and low reflectivity.
- Coatings are primarily used to reduce or eradicate surface wear, most notably in application areas that are not appropriate for lubricants. For instance, lubricants and greases cannot be used in high-temperature or radioactive environments and also where operating times are high. The coatings are designed with the main objective of extending the life of a product.
- Along with corrosion, these coatings are also resistant to abrasion, and wear and tear. Thus, they increase the reliability of product up to 5 years. Furthermore, increasing upstream and downstream industries across the world, growing need for coatings on drilling equipment and pipelines, and rising need for better performance of the product in vulnerable environments are also expected to fuel the market growth.
- Owing to all the above-mentioned factors for abrasion resistant coatings, its market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.
