Market Trends of Polyurethane Powder Coatings Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Polyurethane Powder Coatings Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from Construction Industry
- Polyurethane powder coatings are becoming the product of choice among architects, manufacturers, custom coaters, and government agencies, as the benefits of powder coatings, when compared to liquid coatings are better understood. They have also evolved to include more stringent verification processes.
- The explosion of green construction practices and globalization have increased the awareness regarding polyurethane powder coatings as a viable option to coat architectural aluminum in the North American market. The expansion of polyester resin technology, namely stable, low-gloss formulas, provided architectural market opportunities that promoted growth for polyurethane powder coatings.
- One of the fastest growing markets for polyurethane powder coating is the architectural and building market, primarily due to the durability provided by powder coatings. With the wide variety of colors and finishes available in powder coatings, more and more construction companies are turning to powder coatings, in order to provide long-term exterior finishes for outdoor venues and public works projects.
- Globally, Asia-Pacific has the largest construction market, which is led by India, China, and various Southeast Asian countries. Recently, China was suffering a slump in its construction industry. However, it is expected to recover in the next few years. According to the forecast of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the country needs to spend USD 1.7 trillion, annually, until 2030, to meet its infrastructure needs.
- Owing to all the aforementioned factors, the market for polyurethane powder coatings is expected to grow during the forecast period.
