Thus, with the escalating oil & gas industry, there will be an upsurge in the demand for corrosion protective coatings, which is anticipated to drive the market in the Asia Pacific region.
Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Drivers
Increasing Losses and Damage Due to Corrosion
Corrosion has been acknowledged as one of the major problems faced by various end-use industries. On a monetary basis, the losses caused by corrosion can be very high and pose a direct threat to the welfare of general property as well as people’s lives. The consumption of fixed capital (CFC) loss in 2019 was more than 10 percent of India’s GDP, according to the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MOSPI). There is a huge monetary loss due to rust, corrosion, wear and tear, accidental damage, and other such factors, which in turn affect the consumption of fixed capital (CFC). Such losses contribute to economic depreciation and are seen mostly in the manufacturing and real estate sectors. By using corrosion-resistant materials, such as coatings, more than one-third of the losses can be prevented. Therefore, one of the biggest drivers for the growth of the corrosion protection coatings market will be the need to reduce losses due to corrosion.

Corrosion Protective Coatings Market Challenges
Stringent Government Regulations
The government has imposed stringent regulations intending to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from coatings. REACH and LEED GreenSeal GC-03 2nd Ed., 1997 specify, for corrosion protection coatings, the VOC content in grams per liter (g/l). These regulations have put pressure on manufacturers of coatings to comply with the standards by reducing the content of VOC while attempting to improve or maintain the quality and performance of these coatings at the same time. As the regulations brought about a change in the technology used for the production of coatings, the regulations also affected the price of corrosion protection coatings. These are moderate-to-high solid content solvent-based coatings. Regulations have, however, forced manufacturers to explore the production of solvent-based coatings with a low solid content or to produce coatings based on water. Any technology change results in high investment because there is a change in the production process, which also affects the performance of coatings for corrosion protection. Therefore, for the growth of the market, the regulations present a challenge for the market.
