Thermal Barrier Coatings Market, by Product (Metal, Ceramics, Intermetallic, Others), By Coating Material (AL2O3, Ceramic YSZ, MCrAlY, Others), By Technology (HVOF, Vapor Deposition, Air Plasma), Application (Automotive, Industrial, Energy and Aerospace), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Thermal barrier coatings are coatings applied to metal surfaces, operating at a high temperature such as parts of gas engine turbines. These coatings are used to further increase engine operating temperatures and reduce cooling requirements, and therefore, achieve high engine efficiency, increases lifespan of components and lower emission.
Growing automobile and aerospace industries is expected to aid in growth of the thermal barrier coatings market. However, high price of raw materials and manufacturing technologies of thermal barrier technologies, are some of the factors expected to adversely affect growth of this market.
Growing demand for thermal power coatings from automotive industry is expected to boost the market growth of thermal barrier coatings. In automotive application, thermal barrier coatings are used to reduce heat loss from engine exhaust system components, including exhaust manifolds, turbocharger casings, exhaust headers, downpipes, and tailpipes. A gradual increase in Electric Vehicles (EVs) on roads is expected to positively propel the growth of the automotive industry. This, in turn, is further expected to create demand for TBCs during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
North America is expected to retain its dominance in the thermal barrier coatings market over the forecast period. This is mainly attributed to increasing sales of automobiles and technological advancement. In 2021, 2.9 million trucks were sold according to the sales tracker Autodata, which is a slight increase over 2.1 million trucks 2020. In Asia Pacific, growing automobile and industrial sectors, are projeced to aid in growth of thermal barrier coatings market. The players in global thermal barrier coatings market are primarily focusing on R&D activities to develop advanced thermal barrier coating.
Thermal barrier coatings possess excellent properties such as superior heat resistance capacity, which enable gas turbines to operate at high operating temperatures with higher efficiencies. The growing demand for thermal barrier coatings in the automotive and aerospace industries, primarily applied in the exhaust systems of automobiles, is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
