Corrosion protective coatings market

Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a chemically stable state namely sulfide, oxide, or hydroxide. It is a gradual decay of metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with the environment. Corrosion damage is massive and it can cause impairment of the metal function, losing its operational capability. Corrosion mainly occurs due to environmental conditions such as soil, air, and water. Corrosion protection is necessary, which minimizes the occurrence of repetitive maintenance. Corrosion protective coatings are used to avoid the degradation of metal due to environmental exposure, oxidation, moist air, and more. The corrosion protective coatings add a layer to inhibit contact between metal surfaces and chemicals. The most common method is the protective coating, which finds application in various industries. 

Market Outlook

Global corrosion protective coatings market size is projected to expand significantly and expected to register a CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period (2019-2027).
