A half-yearly comparison of the growth forecast for the market of phosphate conversion coatings along with the key market trends, market dynamics and recent developments has been presented by Future Market Insights.

The market has been significantly influenced by certain industrial and macro-economic factors including investments in the automotive sector, and an increase in production and sales. The market of phosphate conversion coatings is unevenly distributed across several regions depending on automotive production volume.

The global demand for phosphate coating increased by a magnitude of 4.1% over the first half of 2021, whereas the growth outlook of the market is about 3.5% during first half of 2022, reflecting a loss in 60 bps points. Key regions impacting the growth outlook are certain decrease in the production of automotive in 2022 as compare to in 2021, certain decrease in the demand for appliances and restrictions of use of coatings over food items.

Further certain macro-economic factors are influencing slight decline in the growth rate which includes increase in prices of raw materials, and increasing governmental law and regulations for the chemical sector.

New and innovative emerging technologies such as powder paints and coating, and nanotechnology hold the potential to replace the conventional products in the market, posing significant challenges to global manufacturers. All of these factors cause an imbalance in demands, thereby restraining the phosphate conversion coatings market growth to a certain extent.

2013-2021 Phosphate Conversion Coatings Market Outlook Compared to 2022-2028 Forecast

Sales of phosphate conversion coatings increased at a 3.5% CAGR, between 2013 and 2021, with countries such as the U.S., China, Germany, Japan, and India accounting for a substantial portion of the global market. Sales prospects in 2020 and 2021 witnessed decline due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced the demand for phosphate conversion coatings from several end use verticals such as food and beverages, and consumer appliances.

Usage in treatment of aluminum, zinc, and steel remain primary demand generating centers contributing to the growth of the phosphate conversion coatings market. Besides this, the recovering growth of automotive, and building and construction industry, is expected to further drive demand of phosphate conversion coatings, globally.

Demand for these coatings due to inherent functions such as absorbing lubrication, promoting adhesion, enhancing appearance, and improved corrosion resistance, are expected to further aid to global phosphate conversion coatings market in the forthcoming years.

As a result, the phosphate conversion coatings market is projected to grow by value, at a 4.0% CAGR during the forecast period of 2022 to 2028.

Which Industry to have significant impact on Phosphate Conversion Coatings Market?

Automotive industry is one of the dynamic growing industries in the world and significantly occupying considerable share in the overall manufacturing output. The sector is anticipated to increase its production and with regards to robust sales during the forecast period.

Intensive wear and tear has driven the automotive industry to invest a significant sum in development of preventive measures to increase the durability of auto parts. Auto parts when coated with phosphate conversion coatings improve appearance, and increase corrosion resistance. Owing to these properties, considerable uptake in demand is anticipated to originate from automotive industry.
