.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. This was because of the shutdown of the manufacturing facilities and plants due to the lockdown and restrictions. Supply chain and transportation disruptions further created hindrances for the market. However, the industry witnessed a recovery in 2021, thus rebounding the demand for the market studied.

  • Over the short term, the increasing demand for durable, wear-resistant, and long-lasting metal products are some of the factors driving the market's growth.
  • On the other hand, the environmental restrictions on some metal finishing chemicals and increasing metal replacement with plastics are expected to hinder the market's growth.
  • However, the shift from traditional solvent-borne technologies to newer technologies will likely provide market opportunities during the forecast period.
  • Asia-Pacific dominated the global market, with robust demand from end-user industries such as automotive, construction, electronics, and hardware.
