Epoxy coatings are utilized for a number of reasons due to their capacity to generate a robust, durable, and chemically resistant material. They are utilized in a range of electrical, automotive, and marine applications as well as in industrial production plants. They are popular as they give metals and other materials a quick drying, strong, and protective covering.
Mixed Influence of COVID-19 on the Paints & Coatings Industry to Challenge Growth Forecast
According to the World Paint & Coatings Industry Association, COVID-19 reduced the global paints & coatings market sales volume to USD 167.6 billion in 2020, down 3% from the previous year. Although the paints and coatings market's overall tendency shifts in anticipation, substantial differences have emerged in distinct market segments. The initial breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic scenario happened in Asia, followed by rigorous lockdown and detection measures, causing its market performance to decrease first, then rise, and overall performance to be down 1% from the previous year. In the Euro-American region, due to the long-term recurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic and lack of effective control, continuous lockdown measures have seriously affected the production and commercial conditions of the factories, causing uneven results in the global performance.
In comparison to 2019, the volume of industrial coatings demand decreased by 6.8% in 2020. Industrial coatings demand was projected not to recover from the COVID-19 period until the second part of 2021. Architectural coatings, on the other hand, witnessed 5.2% rise in demand. The shifting patterns are primarily due to the good sales of architectural coatings in Europe and North America. Home renovation projects became popular in the Euro-American region while consumers were stranded in their houses for an extended period of time, resulting in a dramatic spike in architectural coatings sales.
The paints and coatings market is expected to resume its previous strong growth trajectory with the launch of COVID-19 vaccinations.

Changing trends in the home improvement industry and increasing disposable income are drivers for the epoxy coating market growth.
Growing Demand for Epoxy Coating in the Construction Sector to Spur Industry Growth
Epoxy coatings are long-lasting coatings that are utilized for a wide range of applications. These coatings are popular as they provide a quick-drying, durable, and protective coating for metals and other materials. Unlike traditional powder coatings, these coatings are quick and easy to apply, making them ideal for a variety of applications. They produce a long-lasting and durable flooring solution when utilized in flooring applications. They are used on concrete floors in a variety of commercial and industrial applications such as commercial and retail stores, manufacturing plants, industrial plants, hospitals, warehouses, showrooms, aircraft hangars, and garages. They have a glossy finish and come in a variety of colors and styles. Terrazzo flooring, hardwood floors, and colored floors are some of the decorative possibilities available when employing an epoxy floor finish. Epoxy floor coatings are chemically resistant and easy to clean flooring solution that may be applied directly to new or existing concrete floors.
They are extremely resistant to corrosion and harsh chemicals, which makes them incredible metal protectants. Epoxy-based powder coatings are used to coat pipes, poles, pillars, and reinforcement steel in high-load concrete structures. Naval vessels and buried structural foundations enjoy a wide range of corrosion protection benefits of epoxies. Epoxy flooring coatings are commonly used in factories and warehouses due of their ease of cleaning, aesthetics, mechanical strength, and resistance to corrosive liquids such as oil, chemicals, and diluted acids.
High Cost of Epoxy Coatings Likely to Hinder Market
Epoxy coatings are costlier to manufacture than other coatings. This is attributed to the fact that the raw ingredients necessary for manufacture are much more expensive than other low-end coatings, and the manufacturing process is complex with a limited tolerance for mistakes. Furthermore, most epoxy resins must pass some level of regulation to verify that they are FDA-compliant and food-safe, which increases the cost.
Epoxy resins are pricey as they are created with high-cost raw materials, demand skilled labor and accuracy, necessitate costly marketing, and are frequently manufactured in places where all of the above are more expensive. Furthermore, when these resins are sold in huge numbers, their price rises even more.
Water-based Segment to Generate High Revenue Owing to Environment Sustainability
Based on type, the market is segmented into water-based, solvent-based, and powder-based coatings. Water-based coating is the dominant segment in this market, and was created as a replacement for solvent-based coatings, which contain a lot of VOC emissions, are less eco-friendly, and cause a lot of health problems. Water-based coatings are made using green technology, which is more environment-friendly and complies with the safety requirements set by REACH and other government agencies.
Water-borne technologies are preferred as they are VOC-free and more environment-friendly. Due to developments, water-borne coatings continue to compete with solvent-borne coatings for most applications.
