The Global Pure Epoxy Powder Coatings Market size is forecast to reach US$2.5 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during 2022-2027. Pure epoxy powder coatings are high functional products made up of pure epoxy resins cross-linked with proprietary hardeners. Compared to other type of coatings such as triglycidyl isocyanurate powder coatings, pure epoxy coatings come with robust chemical resistance and corrosion protection, making them suitable for use in a wide spectrum of applications. Pure epoxy powder coatings are extensively used in the construction sector where they are utilized for coating pipes, ceiling panels, concrete floors, and several other construction applications. The construction sector is booming with increasing investment and new construction projects and this is expected to augment the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the stats by India Brand Equity Foundation, FDI received in the construction development sector (townships, housing, built up infrastructure, and construction development projects) stood at US$ 26.14 billion between April 2000 and June 2021. Furthermore, pure epoxy powder coatings find their massive usage in the automotive sector due to their excellent temperature tolerance and corrosion resistance. The automotive sector is expanding globally with increasing vehicle production and sales and this in turn is expected to propel the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, as per the 2021 report by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, passenger car registrations in the European region surged 25.2% in the first half of 2021. The use of pure epoxy powder coatings under direct sunlight leads to chalking, limiting the functionality of the coatings and this might hamper the market’s growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The global pure epoxy powder coatings market was deeply impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market came across challenges in the form of disruption in the supply chain and the idling of factories amid the pandemic.
