Electroplating Chemicals Market Research Report Information By Chemical Type (Pre-treatment Chemicals, Plating Chemicals, and Post-treatment Chemicals), By Function (Corrosion Protection, Decorative Coatings, Electrical Conductivity, Wear Resistance, Other Functions), By End-Use Industry (Automotive, Electrical & Electronics, Renewable Energy, Jewellery, Machinery Parts & Components, and Others) and By Region Industry Forecast to 2032
In 2022, the market for electroplating chemicals was estimated to be worth USD 9,398.23 million. The market for electroplating chemicals is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2024 to 2032, from USD 9,830.83 million in 2023 to USD 14,794.04 million. Specialized solutions known as electroplating chemicals are employed in the electroplating process to apply a thin layer of metal to a surface via electrochemical processes. The object to be coated is submerged in a bath that contains a mixture of metal salts and additional chemical additions during this procedure. A metal coating is created when metal ions from the solution are reduced and stick to the object's surface when an electric current is sent through it.
Due to factors like population growth, urbanization, infrastructure development, and improved access to energy, the world's electricity demand is predicted to increase significantly over the coming years. Globally, stakeholders in the power generating sector have been concentrating on increasing the proportion of renewable energy sources in the overall power generation mix as they look for ways to lessen their carbon footprint. Because electroplating is so widely used in this industry, the growing preference for renewable energy is driving up demand for electroplating chemicals. Since photovoltaic cells, the main component of solar panels, are typically made via electroplating, electroplating chemicals are essential to the production of solar panels, one of the most popular renewable energy technologies. Additionally, to increase the longevity of photovoltaic modules, thin coatings of protection are applied using electroplating chemicals. Another quickly growing area of the renewable energy industry where electroplating chemicals are crucial is wind energy.
