What Is Covered Under Solvent Based Coatings Market?

Solvent-based coatings contain organic compounds like solvents and constitute liquefying agents that evaporate through a chemical reaction with oxygen. Solvent-based coatings include high levels of organic compounds than water-based coatings and offer long durability. The main types of solvent-based coatings market are one-component system solvent-borne coatings and two-component system solvent-borne coatings. A two-component (2K) solvent-borne coating formulation consisting of dispersion as a first component and an acrylate binder with hydroxyl functionalities. The solvent-based coatings are applied in automotive solvent-borne coatings, industrial solvent-borne coatings, and printing inks that are used in utilities, oil and gas industries, manufacturing industries, hospitals, and other industry verticals.

What Is The Solvent Based Coatings Market Growth Forecast?

The solvent based coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $63.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of industrial equipment production, demand for corrosion resistant coatings, expansion of oil and gas infrastructure, innovation in low VOC solvents, rising maintenance coatings demand.

What Is The Driver Of The Solvent Based Coatings Market?

The increasing demand from the oil and gas industry is expected to propel the growth of the solvent-based coatings market going forward. The oil and gas industry refers to a sector of the global economy that involves the exploration, extraction, refining, distribution, and marketing of hydrocarbon products, primarily crude oil and natural gas. In the oil and gas industry, solvent-based coatings provide long-lasting protection against corrosion, durability, temperature and ultraviolet (UV) resistance, quick drying, and ease of application. For instance, in September 2023, according to the US Energy Information Administration, a US-based federal statistical system for gathering, processing, and disseminating energy data, there is an increase in U.S. crude oil output to 12.78 million b/d in 2023 from the record-high of 11.91 million b/d in 2022. Therefore, the increasing demand from the oil and gas industry is driving the growth of the solvent-based coatings market.
