What Is Covered Under OEM Coatings Market?

OEM coatings refer to thin layers of a covering substance that are deposited or applied to the surface of any object, for enhancing key characteristics and building a barrier against the surface's deterioration brought on by interactions with the environment. The main types of OEM coatings are powder coatings, water-borne coatings, solvent-borne coatings, and radiation-curable coatings. Powder coating refers to a dry coating process used as a metal finish, mostly on industrial equipment. The various applications involved automotive, wood and non-wood furniture, metal building finishes, paper and paperboard, electrical insulation, and other applications that are used in transportation, consumer products, heavy equipment and machinery, and other end-users.

Global OEM Coatings Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the OEM coatings market are focused on introducing innovative technological solutions, such as wet-on-wet painting technology, to gain a competitive edge in the market. Wet-on-wet painting technology in OEM coatings refers to a process where additional layers of paint are applied onto a still-wet base coat, streamlining the painting operation, and reducing production time in original equipment manufacturing by eliminating the need for intermediate drying steps. For instance, in May 2023, Nippon Paint Holdings Co. Ltd., a Japan-based paint and paint products manufacturing company, introduced ‘Wet-on-Wet’ painting technology, an innovative technology solution that will drastically reduce painting cycle time, energy requirements, and labor costs and significantly improve productivity in the painting process. Through this launch, the company has pioneered cutting-edge technology in the painting of commercial vehicles with the aim of developing and introducing state-of-the-art high-productivity solutions for the CV industry. By reducing the need for sanding and baking, the WoW technological solution can increase productivity by up to 50% and cut costs by up to 20%.
