Smart Coating Market: Segmentation by End-user

In the construction industry, paints and coating play a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetics of a constructed structure. One of the popular smart coatings used in the industry is the epoxy-based polyaniline (PANI)-graphene oxide nanosheet (GON) coating, which has anti-corrosion and anti-fouling properties. As the global construction industry is expected to record significant growth over the coming years, the smart coating market growth should also be substantial over the forecast period.

The smart coating market growth by the construction segment is expected to be faster compared with the automotive and marine market segments over the forecast period. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the smart coating market size.

Smart Coating Market: Key Drivers and Trends

The use of smart coatings has significantly increased across industries, especially in the electronics and construction, because of its several beneficial features. For instance, smart coatings have a self-healing mechanism, which addresses both environmental and functionality objectives. Furthermore, their self-assembling ability, toward polymers and nanoparticles, has made them popular in the electronic industry, especially in the semiconductor fabrication process. On the other hand, in the construction industry, smart coatings have become a crucial material owing to their anti-fouling and anti-corrosion properties. Therefore, the advantageous features of smart coatings will increase their sales, contributing to the smart coating market growth.

• Self-healing coatings are still in the development phase to obtain enhanced performance and features.
