By Resin – Segment Analysis
Epoxy resin held the largest share in the foam coatings market in 2019, owing to its superior characteristics such as durability, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, strong chemical resistance, and weatherability. On applying epoxy based conductive coatings the surface becomes hard and durable, which makes it highly resistant to things like chemicals, abrasions, impact, oil and grease, and stains. Acrylic also holds a significant share in the market due to its low cost, excellent weatherability, good conductivity, and moisture resistance. Moreover, epoxy-based foam coatings are known to be environment friendly as it is insensitive to moisture and does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are anticipated to boost the demand of epoxy resins from the foam coatings market during the forecast period.

By Technology – Segment Analysis
The powder based foam coating segment held the largest share in the foam coatings market in 2019, owing to its pollution prevention nature. Powder based foam coating is eco friendly as no solvents are used in the coating formulation and there is little or no hazardous waste to dispose of. Powder based foam coating reduces the cost of the material as during the method no solvent flash is required, no coatings mix room is needed, low ventilation is required and less floor space is required. Also, powder based foam coating improves the finish quality and durability of the material. Moreover, this method has good corrosion resistance, coating utilization efficiencies that reach 95-99%, a variety of resins available and no hazardous overspray, waste sludge, or contaminated water. All these extensive properties of this method are the key factor anticipated to boost the demand for powder based foam coating during the forecast period.

By End-Use Industry – Segment Analysis
The building & construction sector held the largest share in the foam coatings market in 2019 and is growing at CAGR of 7.4%, owing to the increasing usage of foam coatings for building and construction activities such as roof and wall construction. Other applications of foam in the construction industry are foam roofing, insulation, and speciality installations. These foams help to reduce air leakage, leading to lower utility bills, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and improved indoor air quality as they help to eliminate infiltration of dust and allergens. The building and construction activities are expanding at a lucrative rate across the world due to the increasing population, high urbanization, and rising per capita income of the individuals. According to the US Census Bureau, in February 2020 total construction of the United State was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,366,697 which is 6.0 percent above the February 2019 rate of 1,288,951. North American and European building construction are also expected to increase because of increasing government projects in the US, Canadian, and German economies. According to the European Commission, the total construction investment in Germany increased by 9.5% over 2008-2015. Also, the European Construction 2020 Action Plan aimed at stimulating favorable investment conditions. The building and construction activities are also increasing owing to the various government initiatives such as Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), which is anticipated to further drive the foam coatings market during the forecast period.

By Geography – Segment Analysis
Asia Pacific region held the largest share in the foam coatings market in 2019 up to 30%, owing to the increasing building and construction activities in the region. The building and construction activities are increasing in countries, such as India and Singapore due to economic reforms and rising per capita income of the individuals. The population growth is resulting in the need for more residential and commercial sectors. Moreover, in India, the government has initiated projects, such as ‘100 smart cities’ and ‘Housing for All by 2022,’ which are expected to drive the Indian residential construction market over the forecast period. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), the construction value of China in 2018 was USD 893.58 and it is forecasted to reach USD 968.06 by 2019. Also, the Chinese construction industry is forecasted to grow at an annual average of 5% in real terms between 2019 and 2023. Such initiatives are leading to increased building and construction activities by the government in the region. In the building and construction industry, foam is used for its lightweight, durable properties in sealing and thermal insulation applications. Its flexibility and non-fibrous properties make it an ideal thermal and acoustic insulator. Thus, with the increasing building and construction activity in the region the demand for foam coating will also increase, which is anticipated to drive the foam coatings market in the Asia Pacific during the forecast period.

Drivers – Foam Coatings Market
