China Coating
China Coating is the leading platform for coatings industry suppliers and manufacturers to connect with global trade visitors. The show is organized by Sinostar-ITE International Ltd.
The anti-corrosive coatings market is experiencing robust growth in China, driven by customers in the petrochemical, shipping, and construction industries. Consequently, the demand for high-performance products has increased.
Industrial coatings
China’s industrial coatings market is growing fast, boosted by its massive automotive production and rapid development in the manufacturing sector. This year, the market is expected to grow at a steady pace, and will likely surpass US$10 billion in 2022. However, the high demand for industrial coatings has created new challenges for domestic manufacturers, which need to improve their product quality and reduce costs.
To meet these challenges, China Coating is working to increase its production capacity. In addition, the company is focusing on developing environmentally friendly products. Its eco-friendly water-based coatings have low odor and high durability, and they are easy to clean. They also offer good resistance to chemicals and abrasions. In addition, the coatings are designed with corrosion protection, electrical insulation properties, and stray current resistance.
Arkema’s sustainable offerings for the coating industry are based on its commitment to accelerate the transformation of the coatings sector by reducing hazardous substances, pursuing more circular raw materials, developing more efficient and durable technologies, and evolving application processes toward greater industrial and energy efficiency. In line with this strategy, the Group’s Coating Solutions segment is launching a new set of products at this 2023 Chinacoat edition that fully comply with the international Sustainability & Carbon Certification Plus (ISCC+) and are made from renewable or recycled sources.
In addition, the Coating Service Center at Shanghai is offering training courses for employees in various departments. The training is designed to help customers get the most out of their machines and ensure that they are properly maintained and operated. The course includes customer qualification procedures, corrosion tests, blasting and washing in pre-production, and maintenance of machine parts.
Despite the challenges, China Coating still has a strong future. The country’s economy has remained robust for decades, and the coatings industry is benefiting from this growth. However, some analysts say that the industry needs to be more realistic about its growth. The industry’s growth is unlikely to continue at the same rate as the overall economy, and it will likely slow down over time. This will create significant opportunities for manufacturers that can adapt quickly to these changes.
Architectural coatings
Architectural coatings are paints and coatings used to decorate buildings and structures. These coatings help protect surfaces from corrosion and weathering, as well as enhance their appearance. They are available in a variety of colors, finishes, and textures. The market for architectural coatings is expected to grow, thanks to the growth in the construction industry and growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products. The market’s growth is also driven by the rapid urbanization of the world’s population, which is fueling the construction of residential complexes and commercial buildings.
Several companies are developing eco-friendly architectural coatings that have lower VOC content. These coatings are gaining popularity among consumers, especially in China, where environmental protection is a priority. In addition, manufacturers are focusing on improving the quality of their products and expanding their distribution networks to capture new markets. The market for architectural coatings is highly competitive, with both domestic and international players competing for market share. Among the top architectural coatings companies, Sherwin-Williams and Akzo Nobel N.V. are the leaders in the market.
The global architectural coatings market is growing rapidly, driven by the rapid urbanization of the world’s populace and rising disposable incomes. The market is dominated by Asia Pacific, which represents more than half of the world’s demand for architectural coatings. In 2021, China accounted for more than 13% of the global demand, with growth driven by the country’s massive industrial production and real estate sector.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the architectural coatings market in China, as construction activities were halted due to the lockdowns. However, as restrictions were lifted in the second half of the year, the architectural coatings market regained momentum.
The architectural coatings market is expected to grow in the forecast period, mainly due to the robust economic growth in China, which is boosting people’s ability to purchase a home and to invest in property. The market is also boosted by government efforts to promote home ownership, as well as the belief that properties are one of the best investments that provide good returns.
