Radiation-cured coating employs a mixture of monomers and oligomers, polymerized using either electron beam (EB) or ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV/EB process is often called radiation curing because UV and EB are the radiant energy sources. Radiation-cured coatings are utilized in different substrates including wood, paper, ceramics, metal, glass, and plastics.
Low pollution coating, extremely hard and chemically resistant finishes, and rise in demand for wood coatings drive the growth of the radiation-cured coatings market. However, high material cost and large initial investment cost hamper the demand for radiation-cured coatings.
The global radiation-cured coating market is segmented based on, application, formulation, and geography. Based on application, the market is divided into paper and film, printing inks, plastics, electronic products, wood, adhesives, metal coatings, and others. On the basis of formulation, it is bifurcated into ultraviolet curing, and electron beam curing. By geography, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
In 2016, Asia-Pacific occupied the highest market share, followed by North America, owing to the major growth in wood coatings and plastics. Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market by 2023, and is witnessing substantial growth in emerging countries such as, China, Japan, and South Korea.
