Surface preparation is a method which is used to improve the adhesive strength of a surface. The process includes cleaning the surface and providing a proactive coating to the surface. It comprises a group of machines or equipment that can be used to correct flooring imperfections on any type of surface, either metallic or non-metallic. Metallic surface treatment is a process where metal parts are prepared for painting.
The preparation is commonly referred to as coatings pre-treatment. This generally involves creating a physical barrier that will give a protection to metal against a corrosive environment. The surface films which are used in chemical conversion coatings are formed by a means of a non-electrolytic chemical reaction that occurs between the metal surface and solution. They are adherent, inorganic crystalline or amorphous films. For the metal surface treatment to form a protective film, the base metal needs to be converted to the one of the components that is less reactive to corrosion than the original metal surface. To create the proper metal surface treatment, the film must impart equal potential to the surface and neutralize the possible anodic and cathodic corrosion areas (see Zinc Phosphate for more information). The metal surface treatment then provides an absorptive base for adhesion to finishes, like paints. There are several steps included in the metal surface treatment process.
Market Scope and Structure Analysis
There has been an increase in the population, which has surged the demand for construction and buildings which in turn is expected to boost the metallic surface preparation machines market growth on a global basis. Moreover, increase in demand for surface preparation machines from different applications such as shipbuilding, oil & gas, offshore exploration, aerospace, and construction are predicted to push the market growth in the forthcoming years. Increase in shift from traditionally used surface preparation machines to advanced surface preparation machines is likely to offer growth opportunities to the surface preparation machines market. Rise in demand for advanced surface preparation machines is estimated to drive the market growth in the next few years as they are cost effective and provide high productivity operations as compared to manual surface preparation machines. Further, surge in environmental and government regulations concerning reconstruction of buildings is expected to enhance the market growth in the next few years. Upsurge in demand for mortars, coatings, paints, and floor coverings among the end users is estimated to fuel the demand for metallic surface preparation machines. As a result, the surface preparation machines market is expected to grow at a remarkable pace in the forthcoming years. In addition, continuous introduction of new flooring materials is boosting the manufacturing companies to redesign accessories for existing surface preparation machines, which is expected to fuel the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in Metallic surface preparation machines market attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This has hampered the growth of Metallic Surface Preparation machines market from the last few months and is likely to continue during 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of in Metallic surface preparation machines market in the first quarter of 2021 and is anticipated to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for in Metallic surface preparation machines was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and China, which are negatively affected by the spread of the coronavirus, thereby declining the demand for in Metallic surface preparation machines.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Metallic surface preparation machines manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans.
- Metallic surface preparation machines manufacturers are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19.
Top Impacting Factors
Some of the key factors deterring the growth of the surface preparation machines market include the fact that it involves additional cost to avoid failure of equipment and devices and repair cost. However, in response to the increase in demand for surface preparation machines from the industrial sector, companies are concentrating on developing new surface preparation machines according to the next generation of flooring materials at a lower cost. Artificial intelligence techniques; artificial neural networks, tribological performance of various machine parts are few of those factors that have boosted the demand for metallic surface preparation machines in the market. The consumers and manufacturers are becoming smart and tech-savvy, which is expected to boost the growth of the surface treatment equipment market during the forecast period.
- Competitors in the metallic surface preparation machines market adopted acquisition as their key developmental strategy to expand their geographical foothold and upgrade their product technologies. For instance, In June 2019, Marco Group International acquired Canada based Manus Abrasive Systems Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of surface preparation equipment. In January 2018, Marco Group International, a manufacturer of surface preparation equipment, acquired JAD Equipment Co., an Ohio based company and distributor of surface preparation equipment.
- Usage of eco-friendly chemicals instead of harmful chemicals are also playing as a game changer in the metallic surface treatment machines market. Major companies in this market are shifting to eco-products which help in maintaining a proper ecological balance.
