6 NOVEMBER, 2021The global industrial coating market is expected to reach a CAGR of 23.87 percent by 2022, reaching US$ 6.26 billion. Increasing applications in many end-user industries, including automotive and transportation, transportation, construction, and aerospace and defense, will drive market growth over the forecast period. Therefore, consumer demand for eco-friendly products is expected to have a significant impact on the overall product value as well as the innovation of the smart coating market. Today, coating end-users prefer products that offer smart functionality, excellent weather resistance, high performance, increased productivity, and extended component life, along with ease of application and easy cleaning. Such an increase in demand is thus prompting innovation in smart coating technology, exceeding consumer expectations.Abundant research and development are on the rise in which the use of graphene nanoplatelets is being infused into the coating to modify specific properties in multifunctional additives that can greatly extend coating life and durability. It is increasing chemical, corrosion, oxidation, and abrasion resistance and even helping surfaces readily shed water and dirt with highly specialized applications. Studies are also advancing on how to produce an ultra-fast coating process known as extreme high-speed laser deposition (EHLA), which provides a metallurgical bond between the alloy coating and a metal substrate.In this edition of Manufacturing Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the top industrial coating solution providers and service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
