COVID-19 IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE N GLOBAL WATER-BASED COATING MARKET
The exclusive COVID-19 impact analysis report by Axiom MRC provides a 360-degree analysis of micro and macro-economic factors in the global water-based coating market. In addition, companies are restricting their operations and recovering from the effect of COVID-19, which had previously led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote work, and the closure of commercial activities, which resulted in operational challenges, and are largely responsible for the market’s growth.
MARKET OVERVIEW - GLOBAL WATER-BASED COATING MARKET
Water-based coatings, also identified as dispersion coatings have become a leading technology in the industry, as they are ecologically friendly, odorless, and tasteless. These coatings dry physically using the absorption into the substrate and evaporation of water, which is attained through hot air and infrared. Moreover, they also offer numerous advantages such as reduction of solvent emissions into the atmosphere, short processing times, outstanding elasticity, and resistance of the coating film to temperature shifts & atmospheric agents. Furthermore, the water-based coatings also provide ease of overcoating’s. The global market is estimated and forecasted in terms of revenue (USD million) generated by the water-based coatings market. The global water-based coatings market is witnessing sustainable growth owing to increasing demand for building & construction and growth in automotive production in Asia-Pacific & Europe. Moreover, the overall market is also being propelled by growth in the application areas of water-based coatings such as architectural & decorative, marine, wood, packaging & transportation, etc. Moreover, growth prospects in highly regulated regions would further provide significant growth opportunities to this market. However, the global water-based coatings market is hampered by uneven enforcement and the availability of cost-effective substitutes for water-based coatings.
MARKET DRIVERS
One of the most significant trends in the coating industry over the past few years has been the rise in demand for environmentally friendly characteristics. This trend has been greatly influenced by the strict European regulations governing the reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from coatings. The European Commission and other federal government organizations are implementing new laws and regulations including the Eco-product Certification Scheme (ECS). A green and sustainable environment is guaranteed by these standards or zero harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions. Moreover, it is anticipated that government laws in the US and Western Europe, particularly those concerning air pollution, are expected to continue to drive the adoption of new, low-polluting coating technologies. The popularity of waterborne coatings, which contain fewer solvents that evaporate during the curing process than solvent-borne coatings, has gradually increased as a result of growing awareness of the negative impacts of VOC emissions. For instance, Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest as well as the fastest-growing market for waterborne coating due to the rapidly growing automotive and construction industries in the region.
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Emerging economies are investing large investments in long-term initiatives and infrastructure development. As a result of major investments done by top corporations to take advantage of the prospects in these economies, markets in these nations are growing faster than those in North America and Western Europe. Manufacturers of resin and aqueous coatings have a lot of opportunities in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in China and India. Investments in the building, automotive, electrical & electronics, consumer goods, and appliances industries are rising as a result of the increasing income and purchasing power of the populace in the emerging regions. Companies that produce waterborne coated resin have the opportunity to benefit from the economic expansion of developing nations like China, India, Russia, and Brazil, which are investing significantly in the construction, automotive, electrical, and other industrial sectors.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
Waterborne coatings require more drying and curing time than solvent-borne coatings do. Excellent flow characteristics of waterborne coatings fluctuate with humidity, affecting the coating application. Water does not readily evaporate in high humidity environments, which leads to poor cure and decreased effectiveness. Additionally, susceptible to cold conditions, waterborne coatings frequently become unusable after freezing.
MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES
Coatings producers are obliged to continuously enhance their processes to comply with the new laws as a result of the increasing number of regulatory policies being enacted by the various governments. In nations that have severe environmental rules, particularly in Western Europe and North America, products that fail to meet the legal requirements are not permitted for use in countries. The reduced atmospheric emissions that result from the use of low-VOC coatings are likewise disregarded by the concentration approach.
CUMULATIVE GROWTH ANALYSIS
