Award-winning and ESOMAR-certified market research and consulting firm recently published a report on the global market for industrial floor coatings. As per the study, the study anticipates that the market will register a CAGR of around 3%. Additionally, it will reach almost US$ 7 billion by 2031. Extensive application of industrial floor coatings is likely across the manufacturing industry. This is due to widespread industrialization.
Significant gains were recorded in the past, with the market being valued at nearly US$ 6 billion in 2019. Recessionary impacts ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis led to a moderate crunch, closing in at around US$ 5 billion in 2020. Manufacturers are increasingly tilting towards bio-based floor coatings, keeping in mind emerging sustainability trends associated with producing industrial goods.
Roquette Freres, for instance, is a prominent bio-based floor coatings manufacturer, offering the PolySorb monomer and the Biosuccinum bio succinic acid. The former offers high scratch, temperature, and UV resistance. It also imparts excellent surface hardness. Both enable 100% renewable resins and comprise 60-70% renewable materials such as oils or fatty acids.
Key Takeaways from Market Study
- Epoxy industrial floor coatings to surpass US$ 4 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 4%
- Polyaspartic industrial floor coatings to surge at a CAGR of nearly 3% during the forecast period
