Global Metal Coatings Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global metal coatings market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global metal coatings market will grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of about 6% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growth in automotive sector as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The market has recovered significantly due to the improving economic conditions, decreasing price trends, and urbanization which are creating demand for new vehicles. Since large quantities of aluminum extrusions and cold-rolled sheets are used to manufacture vehicle bodies, this increasing demand for new vehicles will subsequently boost the demand for metal coatings.

According to our metal coatings industry analysis, the replacement of fluoropolymer (PVDF) coatings with powder coating as one of the primary trends behind the growth of this market. Powder coatings have been adopted as an appropriate alternative to PVDF due to their thicker coating and ability to prevent chipping and provide good adherence. The attractive display options in various colors, finishes, and textures are preferred by the customers over the costly matte finish of the PVDF coatings. Furthermore, powder coating also provides protection against corrosion and emits zero volatile organic compounds.
