Hydrophobic Coatings - Paint Protection – the Next Generation

Portland, OR, October 27, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Building & Construction application segment is expected to remain the highest revenue-generating segment throughout the forecast period. Asia-Pacific held the leading position in the global hydrophobic coatings market in 2015, and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the study period.

Hydrophobic coatings can be easily applied over any substrate such as glass, metal, wood, and plastic irrespective of its composition and can also be applied to complex geometries. These coatings in building & construction application segment holds the largest share in 2015 and this segment is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period. The market in building & construction application segment is driven by rise in modernization and improved standards of living.

As Per Eswara Prasad, Team Lead Chemicals & Materials at Allied Market Research, “The preparation process of hydrophobic coating requires sparse technical knowledge, which is leading towards high threat of forward integration by raw material suppliers to manufacture hydrophobic coatings.”

The demand for hydrophobic coatings has increased owing to its exceptional properties such as resistant to water, corrosion, and abrasion; stable against bio-fouling, inorganic, and organic pollutants, and ability of self-cleanliness. The market has witnessed substantial growth during the past few years and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2%, in terms of value. These coatings can be applied to any substrate, which increases their adoption over other coatings in several applications such as building & construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, and others. However, long-term maintenance instability is the major hindrance for market growth.
