Glass Flake Coatings Market: Growth Drivers

Glass flake coating is a coating type with glass flakes in it. These glass flakes are transparent that makes them have little interference with the remainder of the coating material. The glass type that is used in these coating mixes depends on the application, as each glass type has its unique set of benefits. Glass flakes provide good resistance to chemicals, oil, gas, moisture, etc. Glass flakes are also used to improve the mechanical properties of coatings along with increasing the hardness and imparting fire resistance. The global glass flake coatings market is primarily driven by the increasing substrate coating demand for steel and concrete, for utilization in marine, chemical, and oil industries.

However, the market is restrained by the slow growth of petrochemical and other chemical industries in Europe due to the lack of availability of required resources. There is a demand for advanced and high-efficient coatings in marine and chemical industries, which is likely to create new opportunities for market growth. There has been an increase in the exploration activities of oil and gas resources, which will further boost the glass flake coatings market in the future. Escalating R&D activities are being conducted to make the glass flake coatings manufacturing process more easy and efficient.

Glass Flake Coatings Market: Segmentation

The study provides a decisive view of the global glass flake coatings market by segmenting it based on resin, substrate, end-use industry, and region.

On the basis of resin, the market for glass flake coatings is divided into epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester. Epoxy resin is expected to hold the maximum market share in the future, as epoxy resins are widely used in the marine industry due to better durability and superior corrosion resistance that makes it versatile.

By substrate, the market for glass flake coatings is divided into steel and concrete. Steel substrates are expected to hold the maximum market share in the future. The steel substrate is used in many industries, such as oil and gas, marine, etc.

On the basis of end-use industry, the glass flake coatings market is divided into oil and gas, marine, chemical, and petrochemical. The marine industry is expected to have maximum market share, both in terms of value and volume, in the future. There has been an increase in global trading, which has fuelled the marine industry to invest more in various projects to build ships that will need more glass flake coatings for ensuring metal protection against corrosion. Thus, the increasing ships demand in the marine industry will drive this segment in the future.
