Abrasion Resistant Coatings Market Growth Drivers:

Several factors drive the growth of the abrasion-resistant coatings market. Increasing industrialization is one of the main factors that is driving the market for abrasion-resistant coatings market. With the increase in industrialization, there is a need for more and more resistant coating material as the industrial sector mainly uses iron and steel in its production and manufacturing, and with that, there is a need for abrasive-resistant coatings.

There is an increase in the production of environment-friendly coatings due to the stringent regulations. Moreover, new technologies have been continuously introduced to produce marine coatings, which further increases area of application and usage of these coatings. Several other factors are driving the market demand for abrasion-resistant coatings, like high demand for high-temperature polymer abrasion-resistant coatings, superior properties of ceramic coatings, increasing demand from emerging economies, growing demand for the installation of scrubbers in the marine industry, and many more.

Challenges:

Several factors hinder the growth of abrasion resistant coating market. The main factor is the stringent regulations that are implemented by the government to control pollution. Controlling pollution is one of the primary goals of government’s as it adds to global warming and adversely affects the environment. There are very strict policies for the protection of the environment, which are taken by the government. These pollution control laws hamper the growth of abrasion resistant coatings market.
