The global gelcoat market was valued at USD 1,185.9 million in 2020 and expected to reach USD 2,236.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.30% over the forecast duration.
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.
COVID-19 Impact on the Gelcoat Market:
COVID-19 has had a detrimental impact on composite demand in a variety of end-use industries, including maritime, transportation, wind energy, and construction, resulting in lower gelcoat use. Marine and vehicle manufacturers have been forced to operate at zero or partial capacity due to supply chain disruptions that have resulted in delays or non-arrival of raw materials, delayed cash flows, and rising absenteeism among production line personnel. As a result, demand for gelcoats is falling.
The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is mostly due to a drop in demand, which means that fewer people are ready to buy the commodities and services that are available in the global economy. This dynamic was readily visible in businesses that were highly impacted, such as travel and tourism. Countries have imposed travel restrictions to slow the spread of the virus, and many people have been unable to book flights for vacations or business trips. Airlines lost expected revenue due to the decrease in customer demand, and as a result, they had to cut costs by lowering the number of flights they performed.
The COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the resulting travel restrictions and lockdowns, has disrupted the supply chains of a number of markets including gelcoat market. However, in the second half of the year, players changed their operations in reaction to the pandemic, reducing the pandemic's influence on the market.
