Coating Pretreatment Market Trends

• 
  

  Increasing application prospects with powder coating are driving market growth.

  
  

Market CAGR for coating pretreatment is being driven by the rising application prospects with powder coating. The call for coating pretreatment is escalating worldwide due to the widespread use of powder coatings in major businesses such as automotive, construction, aerospace, electronics, and furniture, as powder coatings are durable, economical, and environmentally friendly. High car production and sales in emerging economies in the Asia Pacific are driving industry expansion. Pretreatment improves the paint's appearance and adhesion and provides corrosion protection to the car's body. The increase in commercial and residential construction worldwide also drives the call for coating pretreatment. The main driver of industry expansion is coating pretreatment in the construction industry.
Furthermore, the need for coating pretreatment is driven by an increase in commercial and residential buildings worldwide. During the projected period, the rising aerospace sector in Asia-Pacific and North America will likely boost product demand. Furthermore, rising disposable income and changing lifestyles have increased consumer appliance sales, which is likely to fuel market expansion. As chromate toxicity has become a serious problem worldwide, growing environmental worries over metal finishing may limit the industry's growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, rising disposable income and changing lifestyles have increased consumer gadget sales, which is expected to fuel industry growth. Because of its VOC-free emission features, demand for chromate-free coating pretreatment is expected to rise, creating a significant growth opportunity for the overall coating pretreatment sector. The rising spending on construction activities fills the coating pretreatment market. The increasing sales of automobiles are also working in favor of the market. The robust growth of end-user industries, including aerospace and electronics, particularly in emerging countries, propels the coating pretreatment market revenue. For instance, As per the U.S. Census Bureau, in October 2022, public construction spending reached the seasonally adjusted annual rate of USD 381.6 billion.
2023 will see To increase safety in public settings, EAO's antimicrobial-coated door opening pushbuttons inhibit the growth and accumulation of bacteria. Pandemics and continued urbanization are exacerbating worries about the spread of diseases and germs via public transportation. These worries have been growing throughout time. Passenger access and restroom facilities require more hygienic practices since frequent physical contact points can hasten the spread of microorganisms in public areas. Because cleaning and disinfection intervals are time-related, the frequency of the intervals affects both the concentration of germs and, subsequently, the risk of illness.
