Global Urethane Coating Additives Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Urethane Coating Additives Market Analysis and Size  

Urethane coating is defined as a polymer that includes a chain of organic components. This chain is applied on the surface of a substrate for the purpose of protecting the surface. Urethane coatings are in high demand due to their unique properties such as high elongation, UV resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, low odor, low-temperature flexibility, water resistance, mar-resistant, non-flammable, alkali resistant, highly compatible with acrylic emulsions, high tensile strength, chemical resistance, and low VOCs.

Data Bridge Market Research analyzes that the global urethane coating additives market, which was USD 1,074.28 billion in 2022, would rocket up to USD 1,516.07 million by 2030, and is expected to undergo a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.

Urethane coatings appear to be extensively utilized for chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and weathering across exterior and interior coatings. The “water-based” urethane coatings segment is the fastest growing product type due to its properties such as high performance in low temperature, surface hardness, and user-friendliness among others.

Urethane Coating Additives Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Urethane coating is defined as a polymer that includes a chain of organic components. This chain is applied on the surface of a substrate for the purpose of protecting the surface. Urethane coating aids a substrate from abrasion, corrosion, weathering, and other deteriorating processes. Moreover, it has high-tensile strength, shore hardness, modulus, and percent elongation.

Global Urethane Coating Additives Market Dynamics

Drivers

• High usage of urethane coating due to unique properties

Urethane coatings are in high demand due to their unique properties such as high elongation, UV resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, low odor, low-temperature flexibility, water resistance, mar-resistant, non-flammable, alkali resistant, highly compatible with acrylic emulsions, high tensile strength, chemical resistance, and low VOCs. As a result, urethane coatings are used in several industries such as demand for automotive & transportation, aerospace, wood & furniture, construction, industrial, textile, electrical & electronics, and others, which are expected to drive the market growth rate during the forecast period.

• Increased requirements of urethane coating across the marine industry

The marine industry is expected to dominate their respective markets owing to stringent laws requiring the use of urethane coating to increase operational efficiency and save energy. The urethane coating is mainly used due to its advantages, such as energy-saving capabilities, high thermal coefficient, and low thermal conductivity, which are used by several marine equipment to protect them from environmental effects. Thus, the rising demand for urethane coating is anticipated to propel the market growth.

Opportunity

• Rising application of urethane coating in the automotive and transportation industry

The increasing application of urethane coating in transportation and the automotive industry is expected to generate lucrative opportunities for market growth. Urethane coatings are extensively used as an intermediate coat, automobile primer, and finishing paint in the automotive industry. Rapid urbanization and industrialization are further enhancing market growth. Moreover, the growing sales of passenger and commercial cars in emerging economies are expected to create ample new opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

Restraint/Challenge

• High initial and overall costs of urethane coating

The high initial price of urethane coating is expected to restrain market growth as the high prices further generate affordability issues, which reduces the adoption rate. Surface preparation is essential before application to prevent corrosion which is more expensive in the case of urethane coating. Therefore, volatility in the costs of raw materials and the cost-intensive nature of new technologies are expected to restrain market growth.

Recent Development

• In February 2021, PPG Industries, Inc. announced that the company had completed its acquisition of VersaFlex from DalFort Capital Partners. This company provides urethane and other coatings for different applications such as transportation, industrial, water and wastewater infrastructure, and others
