Market Synopsis
The global gelcoat market was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. Gelcoat is a type of coat generally applied to fiber-reinforced plastics to provide a protective layer and increase the aesthetic appeal of the substrate. It is composed of resin, filler, and pigment. Various types of resins commonly used in gelcoat formulation are polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy. Gelcoat offers unique properties and characteristics such as resistance against corrosion, UV degradation, water absorption, and blister & crack; and glossy finish. Gelcoat can be applied by both brush and spray form so that appropriate thickness can be laminated on composite material to avoid damage in diverse conditions.
The growing use of glass fiber reinforced plastics across various end-use industries, owing to its light-weight characteristics is the primary growth driver to the global gelcoat market. Gelcoats are widely used in the marine industry since ships, and recreational boats are mostly made using glass fiber reinforced plastics these days. Gelcoats are used to coat decks, ship hulls, motor yachts, and powerboats during shipbuilding to protect the substrate from the harsh marine environment. The growth of the global marine industry is the major growth driver to the global gelcoat market. Additionally, the wind energy sector is also contributing largely to the market size of the global gelcoat market. Furthermore, the rising demand for lightweight vehicles to increase fuel efficiency has led to the increasing use of fiber reinforced plastics in the transportation industry, which includes railways, ships, and buses. This, in turn, is augmented to propel the use of gelcoat in the transportation industry during the forecast period.
The acquisition is one of the most widely employed growth strategies by the players in the gel coat market in 2018 to capture larger market share. For instance, on 15 November 2018, INEOS announced its plan to acquire the entire composite business of Ashland Global Holdings Inc. for USD 1.1 billion. The deal includes 20 manufacturing sites of Ashland Global Holdings Inc. in regions viz. Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and the Middle East, which employs 1300 people. The acquisition deal is expected to complete in the first half of 2019 due to regulatory approval and consultation processes.
However, the shift towards a closed molding process may hamper market growth during the review period.

Market Segmentation
The global gelcoat market has been segmented based on resin type, end-use industry, and region.
Based on resin type, the global gelcoat market has been divided into polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and others.
On the basis of end-use industry, the market has been classified as marine, wind energy, transportation, construction, and others.
Regional Analysis
The global gelcoat market has been analyzed with respect to five regions, namely, Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
Asia-Pacific was the largest and fastest growing market for gelcoat in 2018 and is expected to continue a similar trend during the forecast period. The countries of Asia-Pacific viz, South Korea, Japan, and China are amongst the world’s top shipbuilding nations and thus showcase strong demand for gelcoat for coating ships. Additionally, the growing transportation industry and wind energy sector is contributing to the growth of the product market in the region. The construction industry is largely driving the demand for gelcoat as more and more buildings are consuming fiber plastics for various applications.
Europe was the second largest market for gelcoat in 2018 and is likely to showcase significant growth during the assessment period. Recovery of the marine industry in the region is contributing to the growth of the global gelcoat market. The wind energy sector is also driving the product market significantly. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Europe accounted for a 33% share of the total wind power installed capacity in 2018.
North America was following Europe in terms of the market size in 2018. The US held 16.5% share of the total wind installed capacity in 2018, according to Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), and thus contribute strongly to the demand for gelcoat in the wind energy sector. The transportation industry also supports the growth of the product market in the region. The greater adoption of fiber reinforced for various building applications are further propelling the demand for gelcoat in the regional construction and renovation industry.
The market in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa holds the least market share in the global gelcoat market in 2018. Slow economic development affected the growth of the gelcoat market in these regions.
