Global powder coatings market size was over 2.1 million tons in 2015 and is projected surpass 3.8 million tons by 2024 with above 6.5% gains. In terms of revenue, the industry was valued at over USD 8.5 billion in 2015 and is likely to exceed USD 15 billion by 2024. This industry is experiencing gains owing to its broad applications across various end user industries including automobiles, furniture, electronics, industrial & household appliances, and agricultural equipment due to its ability to offer product longevity by protecting their components against corrosion. This factor should drive pretreatment coatings market size. These are used in automotive parts such as engine parts, wheels, radiators, bumpers, shock absorbers, coil springs, and mirror frames.
 

Rising environmental concerns related with metal finishing is key factor hindering the pretreatment coatings market growth. Concern over the chromate toxicity is a major obstructing factor for its usage. Investments by company to develop zirconium-based chemistry blend to deposit a zirconium oxide conversion coating on clean metal surfaces should give opportunities for industry growth and reduce environmental concerns. This product produces minimal toxic, regulated heavy metals and generates at least 80% lower sludge byproduct compared to standard zinc phosphate process.
 

Increasing automotive production, mainly in China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Taiwan, should propel pretreatment coatings market size. Global automotive production was over 90 million units in 2015 and may reach above 135 million units by 2024, with 4% gains. Metal is an essential component used in automotive manufacturing as it provides overall vehicular structural strength. It is also used in major parts including fuel tanks, engine components, and shock absorbers. In addition, the total steel demand in the automotive industry was approximately 120,000 tons.
 

The aerospace industry is witnessing escalated growth owing to increasing air travel demand mainly due to reduced air fares and increased consumer’s disposable incomes, rising jet sector, and enormous backlogs for new aircraft manufacturing. Metals including aluminum, steel, and titanium are extensively used in manufacturing airplanes, which should favor pretreatment coatings market size.

 

Global airline passenger traffic was 5.89 Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPKs) billion in 2013. In addition, the global RPK is forecast to reach 15.53 billion by 2033 with an annual growth of 5% from 2013 to 2033. The airline industry is continuously focusing on expanding its revenue by offering alliances and partnerships such as annual subscriptions for premium services, Frequent Flyer Programs (FFP), and on-board duty-free sales. China and India, will have the highest demand for new airplanes with 37% by 2033 due to escalating economic growth in the region. Airport authorities and governments, mainly in the ASEAN countries, are willing to extend their aviation infrastructures to capitalize trade and tourism.
