Surface Treatment Chemicals Market Analysis
The Surface Treatment Chemicals market is expected to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has positively impacted the market growth for surface treatment chemicals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, new surface treatment chemicals were developed to counteract the virus. For example, ALANOD GmbH's MIRO UV-C product effectively destroyed the COVID-19 virus and is utilized as a material for reflectors in sanitizing equipment. Another significant development in the fight against the COVID-19 virus has been the availability of high-performance and medical-grade transparent film to produce face shields.
- Over the short term, the growth in the automotive industry due to the demand for consumers and the use of surface treatment chemicals to reduce the impact of infections is propelling the market growth during the forecast period.
- However, the growth in concerns regarding the effects of chemical surface treatment has led to the shift from chemicals to bio-based (green) products to abide by the regulations brought into the industry. Environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and multiple application capabilities restrain manufacturers in niche product development and will further hamper market growth.
- Nevertheless, using surface-treating chemicals in construction for commercial and residential infrastructure and growing interest in bio-based and chromium-free surface-treatment chemicals will provide ample growth opportunities in the future. They will likely create lucrative opportunities for the market over the forecast period.
- In terms of revenue, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period and dominate the highest market share in the global surface treatment chemicals market.
