Technavio has added a new re- port on the global acrylic sur- face coatings market 2015-2019,
to its coatings market portfolio, which
includes reports such as emulsion coating market 2015-2019 - global industry
analysis & forecast, powder coatings
market in Romania - trends & industry insights 2015-2019, powder coating
market in Russia- trends & industry insights 2015-2019, global architectural
coatings market 2015-2019, and automotive OEM coatings market in Europe
2015-2019. Analysts estimate that this
market will grow at a rate of above four
percent until 2019.
The new research report from discusses the key drivers and trends responsible
for growth, as well as the segments with
the maximum growth potential.
“With the development of non-slip
flooring and increasing applicability
of hybrid coatings, it is not surprising that the construction industry segment accounts for 57 percent of the
total market revenue for the period
of 2014-2019,” said Sriram Mohan,
lead analyst, Chemicals and Materials,
Technavio Research.
These non-slip coatings contain a
crystal clear polycarbonate aggregate and
find application in both interior and exterior surfaces. This coating is exceptionally durable and its advantages include
fade resistance and non-yellowing high
gloss finish. This first of a kind acrylic
coating is expected to gain wide acceptance with time.
Increasing preference for hybrid coatings, which is prepared by physically
blending an acrylic polymer with another
functional polymer like an epoxy, is a key
trend that is expected to bolster market
growth by overcoming the various inad-equacies of conventional acrylic paints.
A segment to look out for is the con-
struction industry sector, which ana-
lysts predict is going to grow due to
the increasing rate of urbanization in
the EMEA region, the North American
region and the Americas. The leading
companies in the global acrylic surface
coatings market are Axalta, BASF, DOW
Chemicals, Nippon, PPG, Sherwin-
Williams and Valspar.
Self-Healing Materials to
Reach $2.7 Billion by 2020
Industry analyst firm n-tech Research has
announced the release of a new report titled “Markets for Self-Healing Materials:
2015-2022.” According to the report self-healing materials (reversible polymers,
inorganic capsule and vascular systems,
biomaterials, relevant shape memory materials and other self-healing coatings)
will grow to around $2.7 billion by 2020.
The report is the latest from n-tech’s
coverage of smart materials. Other recent n-tech reports have included studies of smart windows, smart coatings
and smart surfaces. n-tech believes that
self-healing materials are now one of the
most commercially promising smart materials products.
This report quantifies the markets for
self-healing materials in consumer prod-
ucts (including consumer electronics);
construction (products such as self-heal-
ing concrete and asphalt); the automo-
tive industry (both interior and exterior
surfaces), the energy generation sector
(turbines and solar); medicine and health-
care; and military and aerospace.
The report provides eight-year rev-
enue forecasts for self-healing materi-
als in all of the applications covered,
with breakouts for the various types
of self-healing materials used in each
application. It also discusses the busi-
ness models currently being employed
by the firms in the self-healing materi-
als space, as well who n-tech thinks will
enter this space in the next few years.
Companies discussed in this report in-
clude: Acciona, Alstom, Apple, ATFI,
Autonomic Materials, Avecom, BASF,
Bayer, CEINNMAT, Critical Materials,
Duco, Devan, Encore, Evonik, Fescon,
Flame Spray Technology, Ford, General
Motors, GKN Aerospace, LG, NEI,
Nissan, PPG, Sensor Coatings Systems,
SLIPS Technologies and Volkswagen.
n-tech estimates that the largest market
for self-healing materials will be found in
the automotive industry where revenues
will reach $1.6 billion by 2020. In this
market, suppliers of self-healing materi-
als can build on the existing demand for
anti-scratch coatings, as well as the fact
that automobile industry is currently very
interested in making both the interiors
and exteriors of cars more intelligent as
