Electroplating Market Size Evaluation
Electroplating – Gains Buoyed by Application Diversity
Essentiality of electroplating as an integral requirement in various critical industry components shows no signs of abating. Although profit margins for service providers is not sizeable, sustenance of electroplating industry is buoyed by the fact that application of the process is not confined to a certain industry, but pervasive. Growth remains abated by hidden moats in the industry, entailed by the occupancy of countless unorganized providers and small-scale end users.
Top 3 Factors Shaping the Electroplating Market
Innovative Disruptions Expected to Mold Prospects of Electroplating Market
The electroplating market has witnessed notable disruptions in the recent past, which range from nanotechnology and improved chemistry to dry procedures and non-metal substrates. Electroplating service providers have been eyeing nanotechnology for offering their customer with improved finishes, using technological methods at nanoscale levels – approximately 1-100 nanometers. Greater corrosion & wear resistance, and sturdy nature of nanocrystalline metals has contributed to the popularity of nanotechnology in metal finishing applications. Stringent government regulations and growing consumer demand have led the emphasis on eliminating hazardous substances used in electroplating processes, and non-metal substrates have been gaining robust momentum as they eliminate the problems associated with corrosion. Additionally, adoption of dry processes has emerged as a key trend in the electroplating market, as these are greener alternatives to wet procedures, and drastically curtail the use of hazardous chemicals while ebbing industrial waste.
Growing Focus on Safer Alternatives and Waste Management Techniques
The environmental footprint of the electroplating industry has been significant, which has led the players to focus on adoption of green chemicals, recycling and waste minimization techniques, and cleaner technologies, in a bid to keep up with the move toward sustainability. Recent years have seen electroplating market players shift their preference from organic cleaning agents to water-based counterparts, owing to toxic nature of the former. Additionally, the inclination of the industry toward non-metal substrates, including glass and plastic, in light of their superior durability and corrosion resistance, continues to favor growth of the electroplating market. Players in the electroplating market are focusing on management of hazardous waste from metal-containing sludge by sending it for metal recovery, to ensure toxic substances are not released into the environment. These players are also focusing on recycling of process baths post-concentration and filtration.
Growing Demand for High-Performance Coating in the Automotive Industry
Electroplating has prevailed as a particularly important process in the automotive industry, with rapid advancements in coating innovations aimed toward longevity and safety of components. The automotive industry is uncompromisingly demanding in terms of selecting appropriate coating elements, in a bid to offer optimal protection against wear and corrosion. For example, zinc-nickel plating has witnessed increased demand for applications involving excessive heat and corrosion resistance at minimum deposit thickness. High-performance coating of brake parts, fasteners and bolts used in the automotive industry have been key application areas of zinc-nickel plating.
Electroplating Market: Structure Analysis
- Leading players in the electroplating market are focusing on opportunities in the developed markets, while retaining their distribution networks across other regions. Nature of the electroplating market remains highly fragmented in nature, with the presence of numerous small and large players worldwide.
- Key companies in the electroplating market are focusing on geographical expansion via strategies such as collaboration with small players to cash in on their innovative products & services, along with investments in new process development.
Limited access to new technology, shortage of skilled labor, lack of knowledge associated with service distribution techniques, and management of environmental abuse of electroplating processes, continue to remain key concerns of players in the electroplating market. These factors also act as significant entry barriers to new players in the electroplating market.
Market to Grow at 1.5X between 2019 and 2029
Advent of innovative disruptions in electroplating technologies, such as nanotechnology and dry plating methods, has meant that the efforts of industry players on ebbing their environmental footprint and improving waste management are being materialized.Attractiveness of Asian Countries for Electroplating Service Providers Endures
Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) will remain the highest contributor to shares of the electroplating market in 2019. Opportunities remain promising for service providers in countries such as China, India, and ASEAN, in line with remarkable growth in the electronics and automotive industries. However, demand will grow relatively stronger in India, with rising production facilities of various industrial sectors in the country.
