Thermal Spray Market Analysis

The Thermal Spray Market size is estimated at USD 11.37 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.98 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.22% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The lockdown disrupted manufacturing activities and supply chains, and many scheduled projects were changed or postponed. However, the sector has been recovering since restrictions were lifted owing to the rising demand from various end-use industries, such as aerospace, turbines, automotive, electronics, oil and gas, medical devices, etc.

  • Over the short term, the increasing usage of thermal spray coatings in medical devices, the rising popularity of thermal spray ceramic coatings, the replacement of hard chrome coatings, and the rising use of thermal spray coatings in the aerospace industry are some factors driving the market demand.
  • However, issues regarding process reliability and consistency and the emergence of hard trivalent chrome coatings in recent years may hinder the market's growth.
  • Advancements in spraying technology (cold spray process), recycling of thermal spray processing materials, and increasing demand from the oil and gas industry will likely create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
  • The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Thermal Spray Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Thermal Spray Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Usage in the Aerospace Industry

  • The aerospace industry is the largest end-user of the thermal spray material market. Thermal spray coatings are used in the aerospace industry to protect components from extreme temperatures and pressures during flight.
  • In addition to providing high thermal resistance and longevity, they are designed to protect engine turbine blades and actuation systems. Thermal sprays are primarily employed in jet engine components, such as crankshafts, piston rings, cylinders, valves, etc. Additionally, they are used in coating landing gear (bearings and axles inside landing gear) to withstand forces during landing and takeoff.
  • Apart from enhanced service life, thermal spray coatings offer improved fuel efficiency, reduced maintenance cost, and higher speed in aircraft and rotorcraft engines and related components.
  • As per the Japan Aircraft Development Corporation data, the number of Boeing aircraft added to the global aircraft fleet was 340 units in 2021, compared to 157 units in 2020.
  • In the Asian-Pacific region (excluding China), according to the Boeing Commercial Outlook 2021-2040, around 8,945 new deliveries may be made by 2040, with a market service value of USD 1,945 billion. Moreover, around 8,700 new deliveries may be made in China alone by 2040, with a market service value of USD 1,800 billion.
  • Additionally, South Korea is one of the largest markets for the US aerospace industry. The Korean government plans to invest USD 17 billion in the KF-X program until 2025. In November 2018, the domestic airline, Jeju Air, ordered forty 737 MAX 8 airplanes worth USD 4.4 billion. The orders are projected to be completed between 2022 and 2026.
  • According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States' total commercial aircraft fleet is expected to reach 8,270 in 2037 due to air cargo growth. Also, the United States mainliner carrier fleet is expected to grow at a rate of 54 aircraft per year due to the age of the existing fleet.
  • The German aerospace industry includes more than 2,300 firms across the country, with northern Germany recording the highest concentration of firms. The country hosts many aircraft interior components and materials production bases, mainly in Bavaria, Bremen, Baden-Württemberg, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
  • The above factors are expected to support the consumption of thermal spray in the aerospace industry during the forecast period.
