Additionally, epoxy coatings are cost-effective and fluorinated ethylene propylene coatings can withstand high temperatures, thus; these are widely used in the oil & gas industry. Therefore, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas released a draft LNG policy. This policy aims to increase the country's LNG re-gasification capacity from 42.5 million tonnes per annum to 70 mtpa by 2030 and 100 mtpa by 2040. Additionally, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas consumption increased at 10.8% in 2019 Tcf, and increse from 9.9% Tcf in 2018 in China. Thus, the government of China is anticipated to boost a maximum of 14% share of natural gas as part of total energy consumption by 2030. Hence, increasing the oil and gas industry is estimated to grow the consumption of chemical-resistant coatings.

Global Chemical Resistant Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia Pacific dominated the global chemical resistant coatings market in 2020 with a share of 30%, due to the increasing demand from various end-use industries such as food & beverages, construction, oil and gas, and others in Asian countries such as India, China, and others which are estimated to grow the demand for chemical resistant coatings. Chemical resistant coatings such as a fluoropolymer, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, fluorinated ethylene propylene, and others are used for industrial applications as protection from corrosive acids, alkalies, and solvents as well as fuels, oils, and greases. These are not flammable, have very low shrinkage, contain no solvents or water, and have zero VOCs so they can be used in various end-use industries. The Indian government plans to invest in 2021 about Rs. 7.5 trillion (US$ 102.49 billion) on oil and gas infrastructure in the next five years. Additionally, according to China Electronic Information Industry Development (CCID), the country is expected to spend CNY10 trillion (US$1.4 trillion) on new infrastructure projects between FY20-FY25.

Global Chemical Resistant Coatings Market Drivers

Growing Oil and Gas activities in North America

Chemical resistant coatings are used to avoid erosion from chemicals such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Chemical resistant coatings offer high-performance acid protection, corrosion protection, and fire protection coatings for oil tanks. Hence, increasing the application of coating for drilling tanks is estimated to grow the demand from the oil & gas industry in the region. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), In 2020, the United States' natural gas production reached 34.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and the global crude oil production will average 26.9 million b/d in 2021 and 28.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in Mexico, crude oil production increased by 172,000 b/d in March 2021 from February's 983,000 b/d2021. Furthermore, 13 offshore drilling projects could account for about 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) of total Gulf of Mexico crude oil production by 2022. Thus, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), accounts for 15%–16% of crude oil production of the United States. Hence, GOM crude oil production is forecast to reach 1.71 million bpd in 2021 and 1.75 million bpd in 2022. Apart from this, according to Energy Shale Gas Production, the total natural gas production is projected to contribute 30% and more than 75% in Canada & Mexico, respectively by 2040. Hence, the growing activities in the oil & gas sector is growing the demand for protective coatings which is estimated to grow the market.
