The water-based segment is the fastest-growing segment, owing to the various advantages that it offers over solvent-borne products including lesser toxicity improved air quality and brighter appearance, and more. In addition, they provide excellent adhesion, low toxicity, and flammability due to low VOC levels and HAP emissions, and thus allow coating manufacturers to meet clean air regulations. Furthermore, the development of environment-friendly waterborne products (VOC free powder) as a substitute to solvent-borne coatings is expected to pose a challenge to the solvent-borne protective coatings segment growth.

Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry

The oil & gas segment held the largest share in the corrosion protective coatings market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 5.2%, owing to the increasing usage of VOC free powder-based corrosion protective coatings in the oil & gas industry. The expected cost of oil and gas corrosion damage, due to equipment failure and lost production time, can be enormous without corrosion protection. The punishing effects of chemicals, water, and sea salt spray on tubing, pipelines, fasteners, and equipment are caused by the increasing demand for corrosion protective coatings in these applications. While hot-dip galvanized, cadmium, and zinc-plated coatings are industry-standard, they lack durability and deteriorate in tough offshore environments. The corrosion protective coatings extensively minimize the effect of corrosion and abrasion and improve the longevity of costly equipment, which is the major factor driving the demand for corrosion protective coatings in the oil & gas industry during the forecast period. Various oil & gas projects are also under construction, which will boost the market growth. For instance, the North Field expansion, slated to be completed by 2023 will increase Qatar's LNG production capacity from 77 million tons per annum (Mtpa) to 126Mtpa by 2027.

Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Drivers 

Increasing Losses and Damage Due to Corrosion

Corrosion has been acknowledged as one of the major problems faced by various end-use industries. On a monetary basis, the losses caused by corrosion can be very high and pose a direct threat to the welfare of general property as well as people's lives. The consumption of fixed capital (CFC) loss in 2019 was more than 10 percent of India's GDP, according to the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MOSPI). There is a huge monetary loss due to rust, corrosion, wear and tear, accidental damage, and other such factors, which in turn affect the consumption of fixed capital (CFC). Such losses contribute to economic depreciation and are seen mostly in the manufacturing and real estate sectors. By using corrosion-resistant materials, such as coatings, more than one-third of the losses can be prevented. Therefore, one of the biggest drivers for the growth of the corrosion protection coatings market will be the need to reduce losses due to corrosion.

Flourishing Power Generation and Oil & Gas Sector

In the oil & gas, and power generation sector, corrosion control of metallic structures is an important activity in technical, economic, environmental and safety terms, owing to which corrosion protective coatings are extensively used in these sectors. The negative impacts of corrosion are so enormous that providing corrosion protection for offshore structures and ensuring safe and productive drilling operations at sites is imperative for the oil & gas and power generation industries. In February 2019, the progress of the National Strategic Project Development, namely the Cirebon Power Unit 2, with a capacity of 1×1000 MW, has now reached 39 percent and is targeted to operate in February 2022. Eni S.p.A aims to begin the production of natural gas from its Merakes offshore project in Indonesia in 2021. Construction of Tangguh Train 3 is progressing, with Indonesia's BP-operated LNG export facility adding 3.8 MTPA of production capacity to the existing facility, bringing the total capacity of the plant to 11.4 MTPA. With the increasing oil & gas, and power generation projects, the demand for corrosion protective coatings will also substantially increase, which will drive the market growth.

Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Challenges

Stringent Government Regulations

The government has imposed stringent regulations intending to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from coatings. REACH and LEED GreenSeal GC-03 2nd Ed., 1997 specify, for corrosion protection coatings, the VOC content in grams per liter (g/l). These regulations have put pressure on manufacturers of coatings to comply with the standards by reducing the content of VOC while attempting to improve or maintain the quality and performance of these coatings at the same time. As the regulations brought about a change in the technology used for the production of coatings, the regulations also affected the price of corrosion protection coatings. These are moderate-to-high solid content solvent-based coatings. Regulations have, however, forced manufacturers to explore the production of solvent-based coatings with a low solid content or to produce coatings based on water. Any technology change results in high investment because there is a change in the production process, which also affects the performance of coatings for corrosion protection. Therefore, for the growth of the market, the regulations present a challenge for the market.
