The growing construction industry globally is a major driver boosting the demand for coated steel and aluminum coils used in building construction and infrastructure development. The Asia Pacific region, led by China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries is expected to dominate market demand due to rise in construction activities in the region. Additional opportunities exist in the form of the replacement of traditional architectural materials with metals having longer lifespan and need lesser maintenance when coated with superior technical coatings.
Stringent environmental regulations over volatile organic compound emissions during coil coating processes may act as a restraint. High capital investments required for establishing coil coating facilities also pose a challenge for new vendors.
The continued urbanization and industrialization trend indicates more construction of commercial and industrial buildings. This will augment the market growth over the coming years. Leading players are investing in R&D to develop advanced high performance coating solutions with reduced environmental impact
Market Challenges: Fluctuating raw material prices
Fluctuating raw material prices have been one of the major factors restraining the growth of the global technical coil coatings market in the recent past. Coil coatings manufacturers are heavily dependent on various raw materials such as resins, pigments, and minerals for producing coatings. However, the prices of these raw materials are susceptible to volatility owing to various macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Resins like polyester, fluoropolymer, and siliconized polyester are derived from petroleum products. Therefore, fluctuations in crude oil prices have a significant impact on the overall production cost of these resins.
Market Opportunities: Emergence of new end-use applications
The technical coil coatings market is poised to benefit significantly from the emergence of new end-use applications in various industries. One such major opportunity lies in the food packaging sector. As consumers demand more sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions, coil coated steel is increasingly being used for packaging various food products. According to a 2021 report by UNEP, over 50% of steel used in food packaging globally now has some form of coil coating for corrosion protection and aesthetics. Coil coated steel provides an excellent moisture and gas barrier while retaining recyclability. Many big food brands have committed to using higher percentages of recycled steel in their packaging by 2025. This is expected to drive additional demand for technical coil coatings from the food industry.

Insights by Material: Superior Corrosion and Weather Resistance Drives the PVDF Demand
In terms of material, Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is expected to contributes 33.3% share of the market in 2024, owing to its excellent corrosion and weather resistance properties. PVDF coatings can withstand harsh weathering for over 30 years without losing their gloss or color, making them highly suitable for the architecture and construction applications. They effectively protect substrates like steel and aluminum from corrosion caused by acid rain, chemicals, pollution, or damp conditions. Furthermore, PVDF retains its mechanical strength even after years of UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance. Its non-stick quality also simplifies cleaning and maintenance of surfaces. PVDF coatings have gained widespread adoption in applications like metal roofing, cladding, exterior walls, and pipeline exteriors where corrosion resistance and durability are key priorities.
Insights by Technology: Heightened Demand from the Industrial Sector Boosts Solvent-borne Technology
In terms of technology, solvent-borne segment is expected to contribute 31.2% share of the market in 2024, owing to their applicability in industrial applications and compatibility with various substrates like metal, wood, plastic, and concrete. Solvent-borne coatings can sufficiently penetrate porous surfaces and offer excellent adhesion. They are suitable for high-production applications as they dry quickly through the evaporation of solvents. Their low viscosity allows easy application through spraying with minimal risk of runs or sags on vertical surfaces. They are compatible with a variety of substrates and impart gloss, hardness, flexibility, and UV resistance to finished products. Heightened industrial activity along with infrastructure growth in regions like Asia Pacific and Middle East is driving demand from the metal fabrication, heavy machinery, automotive, and construction sectors, propelling the solvent-borne segment.
Insights by Product Type: Wide Use in Building Integrated Applications Boosts the Top Coat Demand
In terms of product type, top coats is expected to contribute 29.8% share of the market in 2024, driven by their ubiquitous use in building integrated applications and demand from the construction industry. Top coats act as the finishing layer that protects the substrate and lower coats from environmental damage. They impart critical properties like scratch resistance, UV protection, dullness prevention, and color fastness. Top coats are designed to form a protective barrier and maintain an aesthetic appearance over time. Their widespread use in roofing, cladding, rain gutters, flashings, and curtain wall applications stems from the need to beautify and shield the façade of buildings from weathering. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure growth especially in Asia Pacific and Latin America is driving higher consumption of top coats.
