The zinc rich coating market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for zinc rich coatings has seen a swift surge in its size in the past few years. It is anticipated to expand from $1.47 billion in 2024 to $1.63 billion by 2025, proving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%.
Elements contributing to the growth throughout the historical timeframe include the acceleration of industrialization, expansion of infrastructure, an increased emphasis on upkeep and repair, advancements in the field of chemical engineering, and early adoption within intensively industrial sectors such as construction and manufacturing.
The zinc rich coating market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for zinc rich coating is predicted to experience swift expansion in the proceeding years, reaching a valuation of $2.45 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
This growth projection for the forecasting period can be credited to factors such as an uptick in infrastructure projects, surge in industrial maintenance requirements, escalating demand for corrosion prevention, progress in coating technology, and tighter environmental policies. Predominant trends within the forecast period encompass an upsurge in use for sustainable building, expansion in marine and offshore utilizations, enhancements in environmentally friendly mixes, growing demand in emerging markets, and improved performance features.
The anticipated increase in demand for ocean-going vessels is set to boost the zinc-rich coating market's development. Ocean-going vessels including both ships and boats have varied applications such as cargo transportation, ferrying of passengers, and military maneuvers, all conducted on various water bodies like oceans, lakes, and seas. Global trade expansion and the necessity for cost-effective, efficient transportation across international waters have resulted in increased demand for maritime vessels. Salt spray, seawater, and humidity in a harsh marine environment lead to the speedy deterioration of metal surfaces on these vessels. Zinc-rich coatings act as a protective layer against corrosion and also serve as the initial layer in multi-coating systems for marine vessels. For example, in January 2023, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, an intergovernmental organization based in Switzerland, reported that global ship or vessel registrations increased by 2.4% from 103,000 in 2022 to 105,000 in 2023. Furthermore, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea were the key players in shipbuilding, making up 93% of the total global market share. Hence, the escalating demand for maritime vessels will stimulate the growth of the zinc-rich coating market.

Firms dominating the zinc-rich coating market prioritise the creation of environmentally friendly protective options, which include isocyanate-free coatings that boost corrosion resistance and prolong the lifespan of assets. By excluding isocyanates from their formulations, these groundbreaking protective solutions demonstrate a commitment to both safety and environmental compliance. For example, Tnemec Company, Inc, a leading American firm specialising in architectural and industrial coatings, debuted its water-based, zinc-rich epoxy primer, Series 90-75 Tneme-Zinc, in April 2023. This primer, which adds an extra layer of protection to steel surfaces across a range of conditions, has been constructed to fulfil the LEED v4.1 Low-Emitting Materials credit requirements. Due to its extremely low VOC formulation, the isocyanate-free primer cures rapidly, establishing an open network polymer structure within the dry film to boost conductivity among zinc particles, thereby providing enhanced galvanic corrosion protection. Tneme-Zinc, available in a reddish-gray hue, meets AISC Class B surface criteria.
