“Shift Towards Sustainable Practices”
- The Global Pipe and Tank Coatings Market is experiencing a strong shift toward sustainable practices, including the formulation of low-VOC and solvent-free coatings to reduce environmental impact. Manufacturers are increasingly investing in water-based and bio-based coatings, aligning with global regulatory trends and green building standards.
- There is growing demand for application-specific and high-performance coatings. These include corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, and abrasion-resistant coatings tailored to industries such as oil & gas, water treatment, and marine. Custom formulations help improve asset longevity and reduce maintenance costs.
- Digital tools like predictive maintenance and smart coatings embedded with sensors are gaining traction. These technologies help monitor coating integrity, detect leaks or corrosion, and improve lifecycle management of pipelines and tanks in industrial applications.
- Increasing infrastructure development and energy demands across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East are driving investments in pipelines and storage tanks, further boosting the need for advanced coating solutions. Smart urbanization and public infrastructure projects add to this momentum.
For instance,
- In January 2025, AkzoNobel launched a new range of high-performance waterborne tank linings under its Interline brand, designed for lower environmental impact and compliance with stringent EU regulations. The product also improves productivity by reducing curing times.
