Market Insights

The market size of Smart Coatings was valued at US$ 2,257.5 million in 2017 and increased by 20.5 per cent during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Smart coatings are custom-made to meet the varying demands of end-use industries such as automotive & transport, construction, consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, marine, etc. The key factors driving the market are their ability to respond quickly to external stimuli and their increasing application in different end-use industries due to their outstanding characteristics.

Features such as self-cleaning, corrosion resistance, color switch, etc. are obtained by using various nanomaterials such as carbon black, organic-inorganic hybrid polymers, tungsten oxide, zinc or nano-TiO2 coated aluminum, etc. to achieve higher opacity, better coating-to-surface interaction and higher coating durability. Although the smart coating is a niche market, improved demand for products from customers has catapulted its demand. Smart coatings are gaining traction with the advent of new technologies such as nanotechnology, conductive materials, micro-encapsulation, self-healing and self-assembly systems, which further enhance their functionality. These technologies enable coatings to deliver added performance beyond aesthetics and protection. Constant R&D by leading players has led to the development of lightweight and eco-friendly smart coatings, further boosting the market. However, due to the high cost of these multi-functional coatings, slow mass adoption may act as a limiting factor for the Smart Coatings market.
