Crosslinking Agents Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Crosslinking Agent Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Decorative Coatings
- Decorative coatings are applied to the interior and exterior surfaces of residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings. The increase in the construction sector worldwide is, in turn, boosting the demand for various crosslinking agents in decorative coatings.
- The construction sector in the Asia-Pacific region is the largest in the world. It is increasing at a healthy rate, owing to the rising population, increase in middle-class income, and urbanization.
- China is one of the leading countries concerning the construction of shopping centers. China is one of the leading countries in shopping-center construction. China has almost 4,000 shopping centers, while 7,000 more are estimated to be open by 2025.
- Moreover, according to National Development and Reform Commission, the Chinese government approved 26 infrastructure projects at an estimated investment of about USD 142 billion in 2019, which are estimated to be completed by 2023 and are ongoing. The growing demand for housing is likely to drive residential construction in the country, both in the public and private sectors.
- The United States has one of the world's largest construction industries. According to the United States Census Bureau, the annual value for new construction put in place in the United States accounted for USD 1,626,444 million in 2021, compared to USD 1,499,570 million in 2020.
- In Canada, various government projects, including the Affordable Housing Initiative (AHI), New Building Canada Plan (NBCP), and Made in Canada, have been supporting the expansion of the sector.
- According to the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Construction Consensus Forecast Panel, nonresidential building construction spending is expected to expand by 5.4% in 2022 and strengthen to a 6.1% expansion in 2023. By 2023, all the major commercial, industrial, and institutional categories are projected to witness at least reasonably healthy gains.
- All such factors are anticipated to drive the demand for decorative coating during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market, owing to the highly developed automotive sector in China, coupled with the continuous investments done in the region to advance the architectural and various industrial sectors through the years.
