The manufacturers are intensively utilizing silicone-based release coatings for their applications, as they can be used for varied substrates and cured under the PDMS network. They don’t undergo migration issues as well. The potential characteristics of silicone-based release coatings such as higher sustainability and much more are presenting lucrative opportunities for the overall growth of the release coatings industry during the forecast period.
The release coatings are intensively used for varied applications which include, hygiene, tapes, foods, bakery, and industrial purposes. Therefore the growth in the varied industries such as the food and packaging industry, manufacturing, and electronic industries across the globe are presenting favorable conditions for the release coatings market growth during the forecast period.
The fluctuation in the costs of raw materials used for the manufacturing of release coatings is expected to hamper the growth of the release coatings industry, as it restricts the customization of these coatings.Â
The potential manufacturers utilize the control release polymers in the release coatings for the tapes and labels. The primary issue with the tight-release liners is premature delamination. On the other hand, the issues like liner handling, incomplete curing process, and improper storage conditions are expected to hamper the overall growth of the release coatings industry.
The government regulations imposed over the release coatings are considered as the major challenge for the growth of the release coating industry. Therefore the manufacturers are manufacturing the release coatings with the standards that comply with the government regulations. Therefore they are manufactured with low VOC, higher solid content, and lesser biocides. Therefore the efficiency of the release coatings is affected.
The improper manufacturing of release control coatings and the other manufacturing issues like breakage of the release coatings and failing to stick onto the surface are some of the major challenges for release coatings market growth. Moreover, manufacturers are facing challenges in increasing the speed and volume of the manufacturing quantity while providing the expected quality.Â
The market value of the release coatings industry was at USD 157 million in the year 2020 and it is expected to surpass the market value of over USD 225 million by the year 2025 while registering a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The market value is expected to grow because of the growing awareness regarding health, growing purchasing capacity of the consumers, growing trend of e-commerce, and increase in the women workers across the globe. The increasing demand across the end-user industries such as packaging, hygiene, consumer products, retails, and significant others are also expected to boost the overall growth of the release coatings industry.Â
The silicone and the non-silicone coatings are the commonly available types in the industry, where the silicone coatings are expected to have the largest market share during the forecast period. The growth rate of silicone coatings is increasing as they are comparatively inexpensive and provide better resistance to harsh chemicals, withstand abrasion, moisture, and harsh climatic conditions, therefore they are used in a varied environment. The barcode labels, diaper tabs, packaging tapes, and others are intensively utilizing the silicone release coatings and thereby projecting the release coatings market growth.
The growing demand for hygiene and personal care products like sanitary napkins, baby diapers, adult incontinence products across the globe and the increasing purchasing capacity of the consumers are propelling the overall growth of the release coatings industry. The developed countries are encouraging the manufacturers and the entrepreneurs who are developing the premium health care products and they are exported to other countries as well. Therefore the consumption of premium hygiene products and combo products has increased. Such factors are considered as the major drivers of release coatings market growth.
Moreover, the manufacturers are developing the release coatings with varied formulations that are suitable for varied substrates and other concerns. The water-based formulation is preferred by the end-user industries as they comply with the regulations based on health, safety, and environmental concerns. The growing demand for labels across various industries such as food and beverage, medical sector, automotive, electronics, and others is considered as the most dominating application type over others. Since the packaging industry, fast-moving consumer goods carry labels with essential information, the label segment is carrying higher momentum and propelling the overall growth of the release coatings industry.
