The increasing consumption of thermoplastic elastomer coatings in automotive industry is the key driver of the market. Elastomeric coatings, which include thermoplastic elastomers such as acrylic, ethylene-propylene rubber, and polyurethane, are gaining popularity in various industries due to their superior durability and flexibility. In the automotive sector, these coatings are extensively used for coating automotive plastic components, including small furniture, doors, and wood composites. The expansion of the automotive industry globally, driven by increasing sales in countries like China and India, is expected to fuel the demand for elastomeric coatings. For instance, the Chinese government aims to increase automobile sales to 35 million units by 2025, while the Indian automotive sector is expected to attract USD8-USD10 billion in investments by the end of 2023.
Additionally, besides the automotive industry, elastomeric coatings are also used in construction applications, including concrete, metal, and roofing materials, to enhance durability and protect against UV degradation and water intrusion. These coatings are also used in seals and gaskets, as well as in interior wood applications, such as furniture and doors. Silicone formulations, which are a type of elastomeric coating, are preferred for their reflective properties and low VOC content, making them ideal for indoor air quality considerations. Overall, the growing demand for elastomeric coatings in various industries is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The burgeoning construction industry is the upcoming trend in the market. Elastomeric coatings, derived from materials such as acrylic, polyurethane, polysulfide rubber, silicone, and epoxy, are extensively utilized in various applications within the construction industry. These coatings offer significant advantages, including superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The burgeoning building and construction sector globally is fueling the demand for elastomeric coatings due to their durability and compatibility with diverse substrates, including concrete, metal, and roofing materials. Notable applications include interior wood for furniture, doors, and wood composites, as well as exterior uses for automotive components and plastic wood. Elastomeric coatings are also essential for seals and gaskets in various industries, where resistance to UV degradation and water intrusion is critical.
Additionally, construction practices necessitate elastomeric coatings to meet stringent substrate requirements and ensure indoor air quality, reflective properties, and compliance with regulations concerning volatile organic compounds (VOC). Some significant ongoing construction projects, such as Intel's Chandler Campus Expansion with a USD2 billion investment, will contribute to the market growth during the forecast period.
The volatility in prices of raw materials is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Elastomeric coatings, including types such as acrylic and polyurethane, are derived primarily from crude oil and function as waterproof coatings. The volatility of global crude oil prices consequently impacts the pricing of elastomeric coatings, thereby hindering market expansion. In Q2 2020, global crude oil demand decreased by 2.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) due to the widespread lockdowns enforced worldwide as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline resulted in a reduction of approximately 90,000 barrels a day in comparison to the previous quarter.
Furthermore, according to BP's statistics, oil prices fell to USD64. Elastomeric coatings are employed in various sectors, including powder coatings, high solids coatings, two component systems, wood coatings for interior wood, small furniture, doors, wood composites, plastic wood, automotive components, furniture, construction, and roofing materials. Their durability makes them suitable for seals and gaskets, as well as for combating UV degradation and water intrusion. Silicone coatings, a type of elastomeric coating, are utilized in formulations for indoor air quality and reflective properties.
