Coating thickness measurement instruments (also referred to as coating thickness gauges or paint meters) are used to measure film thickness of metal and non-metal substrates.
These are very effective and critical instruments in the paints & coating industry as they play a vital role in ensuring quality control of the coating process by evaluating the expected life of a coating, product performance and appearance to meet international standards. Coating thickness measurement instruments find use in a wide range of applications, including automotive, chemical, construction and electronic industries, which are highly dependent on the coating industry and thus, coating thickness measurement instruments.
This market is highly competitive in nature and includes both large firms that provide services globally as well as small & medium-sized firms that have a more limited portfolio and offer products and services at a regional level. Coating thickness measurement instruments have now become an integral part of all end-user industries, especially automotive, where they prove to be helpful in reducing the anticipated maintenance costs and extending the life of the vehicle.
The outlook for the coating thickness measurement instrument market is positive as the market registered healthy growth in 2017 in terms of revenue. This growth can be attributed to various factors, such as increasing demand for advance tech features in automobiles, strict government regulations to ensure quality in automotive manufacturing plants and increasing safety concerns among buyers.
In product segment, ultrasonic type coating thickness gauge is anticipated to register significant growth during the forecast period as this technology allows manufacturers to identify multiple layers of coatings. Geographically, North America dominates the coating thickness measurement instrument market owing to swift growth in aerospace, automotive, construction and chemical industries and ongoing pursuits for technological advancements to increase life cycle and enhance overall performance.
