Saudi Arabia Gelcoat Market – Overview

Gelcoat, also called Gel Coat, is a substance used to give a high-quality finish on the visible surface of a fiber-reinforced composite. It is a two-part polyester resin that has been particularly prepared for use as the initial resin layer to be put in a mold for creating a polyester or vinyl ester composite product. The objective is to produce an opaque surface that will totally prevent glass pattern show-through. However, free water will seep through the surface of the gelcoat and infiltrate into the structure since Gelcoat is not waterproof. The water will then either evaporate or freeze, shattering the gelcoat as a result of temperature extremes.

Saudi Arabia Gelcoat Market – By End User

Based on end user, the Saudi Arabia Gelcoat market is segmented into automotive, marine, building & construction, wind energy, and others. The marine segment accounts for the highest market share. Gelcoat is a form of polymer that is applied to boats and other watercraft as a protective covering. It protects the vessel's hull from UV radiation, seawater, and other factors and is commonly applied to the hull. The color options for gelcoat are many, and it may be polished to a brilliant gloss. “Saudi Arabia is placed 20th internationally in the marine transport sector and achieved the highest regional improvement in the 2021 Maritime Connectivity Index”, as reported by Arab News. As a result, the demand for gelcoat is also expanding in the marine industry.
