North America Powder Coatings Market Trends
Growing Demand from Automotive Segment
- The powder coatings are used in automotive applications to provide a smooth flow for high-gloss and matte surfaces. Due to their crosslinking properties, they are ideally suited as primers.
- In the automotive industry, epoxy resin-based powder coatings are used for metal bodies. In the North American region, the increase in the production of automotive vehicles in the United States and Mexico is driving the market for powder coatings in the region.
- In North America, according to the OICA, automotive production in 2022 accounted for 17.7 million units, an increase of 10% compared to the show in 2021, which was reportedly 16.1 million units. The United States is the largest market for automotive vehicles in the region.
- The United States is the second largest automotive manufacturing country globally, falling only behind China. According to OICA, automotive production in 2022 accounted for 10.06 million units, an increase of 10% compared to the production in 2021, which was reported to be 9.16 million units. Moreover, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) predicts that new vehicle sales in the country will likely increase by 6.6% to 14.6 million units in 2023. Thus, the growth in the automotive industry is likely to drive the market for powder coatings in the country.
- Automobile manufacturing in Canada witnessed fluctuations in the recent past owing to fluctuating demand from the consumer end and a shortage of essential components like semiconductor chips. However, the rising demand for electric vehicles in the country is expected to increase vehicle production in the country. As per the OICA, the country produced 1.22 million vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles, in 2022, an increase of 10%, as compared to the previous year.
- Similarly, the automotive industry is one of Mexico's most important, accounting for 3.5% of the country's GDP, 20% of manufacturing GDP in 2022, and employing over one million people nationwide. According to OICA, the country produced 3.50 million vehicles in 2022, which increased at a double-digit growth of 10% compared to 3.2 million vehicles produced in 2021. After registering a significant contraction in automotive production in 2020 and 2021, the country rebounded strongly in 2022 amid a gradual economic recovery.
- Thus, the automotive end-user industry growth is expected to drive the market for powder coatings in the region.
