The thermal spray coatings market is estimated to be valued at USD 11.88 Bn in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2025 to 2032. Thermal spray coatings refer to the process of spraying molten or heated materials, such as metal, alloys, or ceramics, onto the surface of a substrate material to obtain a dense ceramic or metallurgic bond coating. Thermal spray technology is gaining widespread acceptance in various end-use industries owing to its unique advantages such as versatility, ability to spray a wide variety of materials, and coat quality matching expensive bond coats. The process helps improve surface properties of the substrate materials including wear and corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, and electrical conductivity. Rising demand from the aerospace, industrial gas turbines, automotive, and healthcare industries is expected to drive the growth of the global thermal spray coatings market over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
The global thermal spray coatings market is driven by factors such as the growing demand for wear and corrosion resistant coatings from end-use industries, increasing utilization of thermal spray technology in repair and maintenance activities, and stringent environmental regulations regarding volatile organic compound emissions from conventional liquid coatings. However, high capital investments for the procurement of thermal spray equipment and availability of competitive technologies such as physical and chemical vapor depositions are expected to restrain the market growth. On the other hand, the development of nanostructured and bio-compatible thermal spray coatings present new opportunities for market participants. In addition, thermal spray technology offers an economical alternative to expensive bond coats and has high transfer efficiency of materials, thereby reducing wastage.
