Smart Coatings Growth Insights and Analysis

Advanced Self-healing, Superhydrophobic, and Anticorrosion Coatings to Create Growth Opportunities

Smart coatings are next-generation innovative multifunctional films with predefined properties, resulting in responsive coatings that perform functions based on the environment and other external stimuli. These coatings are mainly applied on substrates such as metals, glass, concrete, plastics, and textiles. Their ability to respond to certain stimuli enable smart coatings customers to reduce maintenance costs significantly.

This study explores the new market opportunities for various smart coating types, namely self-healing, superhydrophobic, sensor, anticorrosion, and antimicrobial coatings. Furthermore, market drivers and restraints are discussed. An increased push for research and development (R&D) and innovation through funding and collaboration in the smart coatings industry by multiple research organizations and companies is the primary driving factor.

This study analyses key trends in the global smart coatings market and discusses their use in major industries, including automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronics, consumer goods, defense, marine, oil and gas, building and construction, and healthcare. Although the market is in its early stages of growth, rapid demand from end industries will likely drive strong double-digit growth during the forecast period (2023–2027).
