Thermal Barrier Coatings Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Gradient Structure, Multilayer Structure), Product (Carbide, Abradable), Application, and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Thermal Barrier Coatings Market is accounted for $16.23 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $25.73 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Thermal barrier coatings are advanced materials that are applied to metallic surfaces which are operated at high temperatures, and this is used as a form of exhaust heat management for thermal conductivity. Thermal barrier coatings are manufactured using epoxy resins, polymers, aluminates, and zirconia.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising demand for advanced heat-resistant coating
Increasing demand from automotive and automobile production because of the rapidly developing demand from emerging economies is furthermore highly impacting the expansion of the thermal barrier coatings. The rising significance of air cargo delivery alongside the increasing number of air passengers is likely to flourish the demand of the thermal barrier coatings market owing to these reasons and is furthermore projected to develop significantly during the forecast period. In addition, the rising worldwide demand for power, mostly within the emerging economies, and therefore the increasing technological innovation also is likely to drive the thermal barrier coatings market.
Restraint:
Fluctuations in the price of volatile raw materials
Manufacturing of thermal barrier coatings includes rare earth metal oxides, such as niobium oxide, zirconia, ceria, etc. whose prices differ subject to their availability. The fluctuations in volatile raw material prices act as an obstruction to the growth of the thermal barrier coating market.
Opportunity:
Increasing need for controlled combustion temperatures
There is an increasing demand amongst original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket manufacturers for consistent development and production of rotating and moving parts of engine components, which have high thermal control properties and can support extreme temperatures inside the motor. This is basically because of the concern of high wear and tear of these spare parts and their inefficiency to hold extreme temperatures. The thermal barrier coating insulation layer reduces the deposition of parasitic mass in these parts and expands the part durability by decreasing oxidation and thermal fatigue.
Threat:
Degradation and other problems
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) used in the thermal barrier coatings has difficulties like limited operation temperature, in spite of being the present industry standard. The necessity for the new deposition process comes from the very fact that the prevailing low-cost deposition processes, like atmospheric plasma spray (APS), generally exhibit lower strain tolerance. In the gas turbine operating environment and conditions, thermal barrier coatings degrade and eventually break down. The challenges in gas turbines are due to the corrosion, and the thermal mismatch between the ceramic and the metallic layers.
The ceramic (top coat) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The ceramic (top coat) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth owing to its great thermal strength and multi-layer safety of high-temperature ceramic coatings. This kind of coating insulates the substrate material and lowers the temperature of the substrate as well. The increasing demand for ceramic coatings in the automotive and aerospace industries, primarily applied in the exhaust systems of automobiles, is likely to drive the segment.
The aerospace & aviation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The aerospace & aviation segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period due to the rising aircraft fleet and the increasing aerospace expenditure expanding the production of aircraft across the world, creating immense demand for thermal barrier coatings for the protection of engines and turbines. Furthermore, many countries are investing hugely in their particular defense sectors, with the motive of maintaining the peace and security of their country.
Region with highest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the significant demand from the varied end-user industries and growing product demand from various applications. The rising disposable incomes, availability of highly skilled labor, and strong economy of countries in the region are the key reasons for a rise in air traffic in North America.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for global power and cleaner solutions and the development of industrial and automotive sectors in the region. Countries in the region are likely to contribute significantly to the growth of the market owing to the expanding number of power generation projects and demand for vapor deposition technology.
