Hard coating, also known as hard coat anodizing or hard anodizing, is an electrochemical coating technique. This process involves anodization of sulfuric acid by using an electrolyte concentration, varying temperature, and electric current, which results in the hardened surface. The hard coatings find their uses in numerous applications starting from industrial coatings, tools, equipment, ball bearings, gear and pneumatic components to medical tools and equipment. Apart from this, they are used in lenses coatings to make them scratch resistant and improve their durability. These types of coatings confer some important properties to the substrate material such as resistant to corrosion, wear & tear, heat, and electricity. Additionally, hard coatings offer low friction coefficient after lubrication.
The global protective coatings market is growing at a healthy CAGR and is expected to reach nearly USD 23 billion by the end of 2023. This, in turn, is expected to fuel the demand for hard coatings during the review period. In the automotive industry, there is an increasing demand for lightweight vehicles with attractive shine with the added durability of metal components, which is expected to fuel demand for the hard coatings in coming years. The hard coatings account for approximately a quarter share of the overall industrial coatings and it is likely to have its share continuously rising over the forecast period. The scope of applications in the global hard coatings market is continuously increasing with the flourishing end-use industries such as building & construction, marine, aerospace & defense, along with the automotive industry. Need for the protective coatings on tools, equipment, and end decorative parts in building & construction industry is posing as a major demand driver in the market. Moreover, there is an increasing use of hard coatings in various industrial applications in order to protect machinery and equipment, which function in the harsh environment.
