Metal Finishing Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Metal Finishing Market according to our research experts:

Automotive Segment to Dominate the Market

  • The automotive industry dominated the demand for metal finishes. Metal finishing is one of the most common methods used to provide a protective layer on the metal components of vehicles.
  • Metal finishing is used in vehicle parts such as engines, other under-the-hood components, power steering systems, brake parts and systems, air conditioning components and systems, chassis hardware, climate control components, and fuel systems.
  • Metal finishing also includes the application of paints or ceramics. Many small and large parts of the automobile require their contact surfaces to be smooth, stress-relieved, and without burrs or defects. This enables the automotive engines to achieve a surface with less friction and heat, leading to the generation of more horsepower and overall better performance.
  • According to OICA, in 2021, a total of 80.145 million vehicles were produced, increasing by 3% from the previous year.
  • The metal finishing market has the potential for growth in the long term with the emergence of more technologically developed cars.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

  • In the Asia-Pacific region, the increasing investments and production in the automotive industry, rising production of electricals and electronics, and surging demand for heavy equipment are some of the major factors driving the market for metal finishing. Multinational companies drive the industrial sector in this region.
  • China is the largest manufacturer of automobiles in the world. The automotive sector in China focuses on product evolution by manufacturing products to ensure fuel economy and minimize emissions, owing to the increasing environmental concerns and mounting pollution in the country.
  • The country produced 26.08 million vehicles in 2021, observing a growth of about 3% compared to the previous year.
  • Right after the outbreak of COVID-19, construction work stopped across China. However, by the end of March 2020, construction work resumed on 90% of the 11,000 key projects in the country, according to reports by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
  • The Japanese metal finishing market is primarily driven by the increased usage of metal finishings in the aerospace sector due to technological advancements and R&D.
  • The Japanese aerospace industry manufactures aircraft components for commercial and defense aircraft. Commercial aircraft production has been increasing over the past couple of years, owing to the increasing cargo demand.
  • Japan currently manufactures the F-35A next-generation fighter jet and other military aircraft. It also strengthens the foundation of aerospace manufacturing in the country.
  • Hence, with such favorable trends and investments in the region, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market.
