Polyurea Coatings Market Outlook 2023 to 2033

The global polyurea coatings market is likely to register a valuation of USD 902.9 million in 2023. Between 2023 and 2033, a robust CAGR of 9.3% should fuel the acceleration of the market. This should culminate in a market valuation of USD 2,204.6 million in 2033.

Polyurea, a synthetic polymer, is derived from the reaction between a di-amine and a di-isocyanate. The use of polyurea-based coatings is common across a variety of industries such as automotive & transportation, and building & construction. This is due to polyurea’s beneficial characteristics such as

  • Toughness
  • Durability
  • Elasticity/flexibility
  • Chemical resistance
  • Hydrophobic properties

The formulation of polyurea coatings consist of the following elements

  • Diluent
  • Isocyanate component
  • Chain extenders
  • Polyehteramines
  • Pigments, fillers, and additives

In the coming years, sales of hybrid polyurea products should dominate the market. This is due to the fact that hybrid polyurea offers several advantages over pure variants such as

  • Effective adhesion to metallic and concrete surfaces
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Affordability

However, pure polyurea sales are likely to continue for applications where temperature and moisture resistance are necessary.

Developing economies should contribute to market expansion. Across these economies, there is an increasing need for protecting equipment, machine parts, and infrastructural investments. Car parking lots, offshore structures, bridges, rooftop coatings, and containment liners are examples of applications where polyurea coatings play important roles.

North America is a key market that accounts for a prominent share in the global polyurea coatings market. The market in South Asia is expected to register a significant CAGR in the coming years and provide lucrative opportunities.

From a regional perspective, East Asia is anticipated to hold a significant share from 2023 to 2033. In recent years, environmental regulations have become more stringent in regions such as North America and Europe. Also, countries such as China are adopting such regulations pertaining to VOC emissions, owing to which, there is rising demand for eco-friendly polyuria coatings.

According to Future Market Insights (FMI) estimates, global polyurea coatings sales are likely to increase rapidly between 2023 and 2033. This should generate an absolute growth opportunity of USD 1,301.7 million.

Sales Analysis of Polyurea Coatings (2018 to 2022) Vs. Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

Between 2018 and 2022, a healthy 7.6% CAGR accelerated the market. In 2022, the value of the global market reached around USD 823.9 million.

Compared to the 9.3% CAGR likely for the market in the years ahead, the 7.6% CAGR recorded across recent years is reflective of a slight lull in acceleration. This was primarily owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a crippling effect on the global economy along with various industrial activities.

However, now that the global economy is recovering, industrial activities are on the rise once more. This should work in favor of polyurea coatings companies and provide lucrative opportunities in the future.

Demand should be particularly substantial from rapidly-developing economies such as India and China. Across these nations, industrial expansion is happening at a breakneck pace. Both public and private players across these countries are fueling diverse building & construction projects.

All in all, it’s safe to say that the ongoing industrial activities across developing economies should accelerate the market for polyurea coatings. In the near future, however, FMI expects consumers to be cautious owing to economic uncertainties.

Which are the Factors Shaping the Market for Polyurea Coatings?

Rising Environmental Concerns and Significant Application Costs to Shape Polyurea Coatings Demand

Environmental consciousness has resulted in a revolution in coating technology. Water-borne, high-solid, and powder coatings are gaining popularity in a variety of sectors. Coating technology advancements have also resulted in the creation of spray, injection, and roto-cast application equipment that enhances the performance of polyurea coatings.

Polyurea coatings have shown to be a successful and cost-effective solution for a variety of applications in a wide range of end-use industries, while also meeting environmental requirements. Polyurea coatings are extremely reactive and cure fast.

The application of polyurea coatings on damp surfaces may result in poor surface adherence. As a result, the surface requires appropriate drying time before applying a polyurea coating.

Also, the cost of applying polyurea coatings is significantly greater due to the expense of spraying equipment. Handling such machinery necessitates the use of professional laborers and technicians. The challenges listed above may impede the acceleration of the market for polyurea coatings.

Why is the Hybrid Polyurea Segment Likely to Dominate Sales Between 2023 and 2033?

Hybrid Polyurea’s Advantages Compared to Pure Variants to Fuel Sales in the Coming Years

According to FMI, the hybrid polyurea segment should lead in terms of sales from 2023 to 2033. Hybrid polyurea coatings are known for being environment-friendly due to the lack of volatile organic components (VOCs). They also feature waterproofing material along with two-component coating.

Here is a brief glimpse at the various advantages of hybrid polyurea coatings

  • Ensure monolithic insulation without a joint
  • Rapid application
  • Ease of use
  • Significant adhesion strength
  • Aging and hydrolysis resistance
  • Cost-effective
  • Quick curing

These advantages are likely to result in substantial hybrid polyurea coatings sales. However, players exclusively dealing in pure polyurea can rest assured that their sales will not be significantly affected. After all, there are certain applications for which only pure polyurea is suitable.

Which Application will Generate Substantial Polyurea Coatings Demand?

Building & Construction Segment to Generate Significant Polyurea Coatings Demand in an Era of Rising Infrastructure Projects

Polyurea coatings are ideal for corrosion prevention and waterproofing applications. In the coming years, FMI expects the building & construction industry to lead the market in terms of demand generation.

All over the world, the building & construction industry is advancing as infrastructure projects soar. As a result, the building & construction segment is likely to lead polyurea coatings demand. However, it is not the only segment that should generate significant demand for polyurea coatings.
