Waterborne Coatings Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post-COVID-19 era. The advantages offered by waterborne coatings are notably driving the waterborne coatings market growth, although factors such as volatile raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the waterborne coatings industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Waterborne Coatings Market Driver

The advantages offered by waterborne coatings are one of the key factors driving the growth of the global waterborne coatings market. Waterborne coatings are extensively used in automobiles, buildings and construction, marine applications, oil and gas, metallurgy and metal forming, aerospace, mining, and medical and healthcare. These coatings function as primers because of their excellent resistance to heat and abrasion, along with providing superior adhesion. Waterborne coatings are less toxic and flammable because of their low VOC levels and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. Unlike solvent-borne coatings that have severe environmental impacts, waterborne coatings release fewer organic compounds. Waterborne coatings are cost-effective and do not require additives, thinners, or hardeners. Low quantities of waterborne coatings are required for covering surfaces. As a result, the demand for waterborne coatings is increasing substantially. The above factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Waterborne Coatings Market Trend

Expansions of vendors will fuel the global waterborne coatings market growth. Major vendors are increasingly focusing on expanding their production of waterborne coatings by either expanding their production capacity of existing plants or opening new plants. For instance, in April 2020, Axalta announced the expansion of its production capacity of advanced waterborne coating solutions in China by 2021. Similarly, in December 2019, BASF announced its plans to double its production capacity of automotive refinish coatings at the Jiangmen site, China. The expansion is expected to be completed by 2022. Moreover, in April 2018, Axalta announced the opening of a new coating facility in India. However, such vendor expansions can increase the production and sales of waterborne coatings, thereby accelerating the growth momentum of the market during the forecast period.

Key Waterborne Coatings Market Challenge

Costs associated with waterborne coatings are major challenges for the global waterborne coatings market growth. As solvent-borne coatings contribute to VOC emissions, manufacturers of coatings prefer waterborne coatings to solvent-borne coatings. Waterborne coatings comply with environmental regulations and are extensively used worldwide. Although these coatings reduce costs associated with conformance to environmental regulations, they increase other costs for manufacturers. Switching costs can be a challenge for manufacturers operating in the global waterborne coatings market. Shifting from solvent-based coatings to waterborne coatings requires various modifications to the existing equipment and operating procedures, along with high capital investments and operating costs. These costs contribute to a major share of the overall switching cost. Waterborne coatings increase the drying time and have a direct impact on conveying systems, ovens, throughput, and energy costs. Electrostatic spray systems must be isolated from the ground because waterborne coatings are highly conductive. Recirculation systems are replaced by stainless steel pumps and pipes to avoid corrosion. All the changes increase the switching cost for manufacturers, which can impede the growth of the global waterborne coatings market during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The regional market witnessed certain challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. India, China, Pakistan, and South Korea are some of the most affected countries. The restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic have negatively affected the supply chain activities of vendors offering waterborne coatings. The lockdown measures have also adversely affected the operations of most end-users and caused supply chain disruptions. For instance, most construction companies have put their projects on a halt due to the lack of availability of labor. However, operations in various industries, including end-users of waterborne coatings, restarted gradually by the end of 2020, with a limited capacity while maintaining social distancing norms. This is expected to stabilize the growth of the regional market over the forecast period.
