Green Coatings Market Outlook - 2021–2030
The global green coatings market size was valued at $67.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $104.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2030.
Green coatings are environmentally friendly coatings that emit nearly no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production. Water-based paints, high-solid paints, powder coatings, and radiation-hardened coatings are some of the most common options of green coatings. Natural ingredients, such as vegetable oil, soybean, castor oil, milk, and clay are used to make these coatings. They help to reduce the harmful effects of infrared and ultraviolet (UV) radiations while also increasing the equipment's overall efficiency. As a result, they have a wide range of uses in industries, such as construction, automotive, oil and gas, mining, aviation, aerospace, and marine.
One of the primary reasons contributing to the market's favorable outlook is significant growth in the construction industry globally. Green coatings are used as protective and decorative paints on walls, roofs, panels, windows, door frames, and interior extrusions. They are also used on various consumer products, such as oven components, dryer drums, rooftop heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, electronic boxes, furniture, and fixtures. Furthermore, rise in environmental awareness among the general public and surge in demand for waterborne and powder-based coatings propel the market forward. In comparison to the traditionally used solvent-borne coatings, these variants are VOC-free, block resistant, and not harmful for human health. In addition, various product innovations, such as development of radiation curable coatings, act as other growth-inducing factors. They are manufactured using plant-based sources and are processed under low energy electrons (EB) or ultraviolet (UV) radiations. Other factors, including rapid industrialization, along with the implementation of favorable government policies to promote sustainability, are anticipated to drive the green coatings market growth.
