- According to the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, in U.S and Canada, a total $791 billion investments in new oil and gas infrastructure will be made from 2018 to 2035. As, anticorrosion coatings are extensively used in oil & gas industry for coating various equipment’s including oil storage tanks, drill bits and drill pipes, the growth in oil & gas industry will drive anticorrosion coatings market growth.
- However, operations in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, oil & gas and others is being significantly affected due to the COVID-19 epidemic, as most of countries have issued “stay at home guidance” i.e., lockdown. And it is expected that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be seen in the whole year of 2020, and a few months in 2021. Therefore, this factor is expected to limit anticorrosion coatings market growth for the next two years.
Raw Material - Segment Analysis
Resin Type segment held the largest share in the anticorrosion coatings market in 2019. The Epoxy resin is the widely used resin in the anticorrosion coatings market, owning to its extensive properties such as excellent chemical resistance, low porosity, anti-sagging, strong adhesion, durability and bond strength. Epoxy resins have distinct advantages such as low shrink during cure, excellent moisture, good electrical property, augmented mechanical and fatigue strength, no VOCs, long shelf life and more which provide them an edge over the other thermoset or thermoplastic resins. Epoxy anticorrosion coatings derive their use in various applications pertaining to steel industry as well which include plash zones, refineries, power plants, bridges, buildings and mining equipment and more. Furthermore, epoxy paint systems also deliver advanced corrosion resistance for crucial oil and gas components and structures operating in corrosive environments.
Technology - Segment Analysis
Solvent-borne technology held the largest share in the anticorrosion coatings market in 2019, as these coatings are widely used in several applications and exhibit more toughness among others. These coatings have one major advantage over water-based coatings, i.e., they are less susceptible to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity during the curing phase. However, solvent borne technology may witness a downturn due to the stringent volatile organic compounds (VOC) regulations imposed by government bodies such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Registration Evaluation Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REARC). Waterborne technology is gaining popularity during the forecast period, as it possess low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Application - Segment Analysis
Oil & Gas is the dominant application for anticorrosion coatings market and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.86% through the forecast period. The applications for anticorrosion coatings for the oil & gas includes drilling, wellhead, sub-sea equipment, pipelines and others. In oil & gas industry, corrosion in the pipelines or storage system due to reactive chemicals or organic salt in the oil can eventually cause a loss of containment of process fluids or can lead to serious accident affecting workers, environment and economy. Therefore, to reduce the risk of corrosion and safe guard the equipment containing crude oil and protect the whole refinery process, anticorrosion coatings are widely used in this industry. However, oil & gas industry is facing huge crisis due to COVID-19 outbreak, as most of countries have issued “stay at home guidance” i.e., lockdown, which is impacting oil & gas industry operations. Thus, limiting anticorrosion coatings market growth.
Geography - Segment Analysis
Asia Pacific held the largest share in the Anticorrosion Coatings market in 2019, up to 56%, owning to growth in construction projects and rising automotive production in countries such as India, Malaysia and others. Surge in economic losses owning to corrosion of structure has increased the usage of anticorrosion coatings in construction and infrastructure sector. These coatings are extensively used in the iron pillars of the building, which reduces the risk of damage caused by rusting or corrosion. Construction projects and investments in Asia Pacific region is significantly increasing, which is driving Anticorrosion coating market. For instance, in 2019, China government invested 1.9 billion on 13 public housing projects. In addition, in February 2020, the Asian Development Bank approved a loan of $631 million to develop the Vishakhapatnam-Chennai industrial corridor. Furthermore, construction projects such as ‘100 smart cities’ and ‘Housing for All by 2022’ in India are influencing Anticorrosion coating market growth. In addition, according to OICA, automotive production in countries such as India, Indonesia, and Malaysia has increased by 8%, 10.3% and 12.2% up to 5,174,645, 1,343,714 and 402,085 from 2017. Therefore, the growth in construction projects and automotive production is supporting anticorrosion coatings market growth in the region.
