Intumescent Coatings Market Dynamics

The major factors driving the Global Intumescent Coatings market are the rising demand from the oil&gas industry and increasing investments in the construction and automobile sectors are also driving the market growth for Intumescent Coatings.

The demand from the oil&gas industry and increase in exploration are driving the market growth of Intumescent Coatings.

There is an increasing demand for Intumescent Coatings from the oil&gas industry as Intumescent Coatings are used for the protection of steel from chemicals, moisture and also used to fire protect the steel structures at very high temperatures. Exploration of gas and oil fields in different parts of the world is creating the demand for coatings. Recently exploration of shale gas is increasing in the US and other countries as it is considered to be green gas by oil companies and it is expected that it will generate the same or higher electricity than coal. Even many reserves of shale gas are found in India like Godavari, Cauvery, Damodar Valley, Upper Assam, Pranahita – Godavari, Rajasthan, and Vindhya Basins. China also has the largest reserve of shale gas in the world. Due to the increasing energy demand countries are exploring various reserves and even many companies are collaborating for further exploration. Even recently Turkey has discovered new natural gas reserves in the Black Sea. The Middle-east is considered to be the hub of oil and gas reserves and Saudi Arabia is also the leading exporter of crude oil in the world. The demand for other oil&gas resources like tight gas and coal bed methane is also driving the market growth.

The demand in the construction, industrial, and automobile sectors are driving the market growth of Intumescent Coatings

The market is also growing due to the investments in the automobile sector in countries like India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. According to the report by OICA,  China, Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand were ranked 1, 3, 5,6, and 11 in the world respectively in terms of motor vehicle production. The demand from this sector declined during the covid-19 pandemic.

The demand from the construction sector in this region is also driving the market of Intumescent Coatings as the demand for residential houses in developing countries like India and China is increasing due to large population and rapid urbanization, many people are moving to urban areas which increases the demand for residential and commercial construction in urban areas. According to the report, the number of households in India, China, and Japan was 295 million, 499 million, 48 million in 2020. Migration in Europe and North America created the demand for residential and commercial construction.

According to the report in 2020, total migrants in Europe and North America were close to 87 million and 58 million respectively. Construction projects in the Middle-east also drive market growth. Many foreign companies are investing in India and China due to cheap labor and the easy availability of raw materials which is creating the demand for Intumescent Coatings.  Due to less strict regulations regarding VOC content in the Asia-pacific region compared to the North-American region and Europe is driving the market for Intumescent Coatings in various industries like construction, marine, and automobile. The increasing awareness regarding the fireproofing of the buildings is also driving the market growth.

Volatility in raw material prices covid-19 are hampering the market growth of Intumescent Coatings

COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Intumescent Coatings Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many industries due to the disruption in the supply chain, as there were full or partial lockdowns in many countries of the world, and restrictions across borders and closure of airports hampered world trade. The automobile sector was also severely affected due to covid-19 as there was disruption of the supply chain and people preferred health over their jobs. Companies and construction factories couldn’t operate with proper covid norms. It was also difficult for staff and workers to work with social distancing norms.

The demand from the construction sector declined as many projects were delayed due to the lockdown restrictions and also the demand for the construction of residential houses was less as people preferred health over other non-essential services and there was a shortage of workers and labourers as well and there was less migration due to travel restrictions and According to the report in 2020, total migrants in Europe and North America were close to 87 million and 58 million respectively. Even the oil&gas industry collapsed due to less demand and more supply in many oil-producing countries and due to the fight between Russia and Saudi Arabia which lead to OPEC from OPEC+. Manufacturing and industrial activities were also affected and so the demand for Intumescent coatings declined during covid-19.
