According to Tanalyze Ltd., the global smart coatings market is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7% (in value terms) during the forecast period, reaching a projected value of USD 16,670 million by 2029. Smart coatings encompass various functionalities, including color-shifting, water repellency, corrosion resistance, and electrical and tribological properties. These coatings are crafted from programmable materials with diverse chemical, mechanical, physical, and electrical attributes, enabling them to sense and react to external stimuli and environmental factors.
The report analyzes the segmentation of the global smart coatings market by product type for the forecast period. Key product type segments include anticorrosion, self-healing, superhydrophobic, antimicrobial, and others. The anticorrosion segment has demonstrated significant growth and is projected to reach USD 5,451 million by 2029, reflecting a CAGR of 19.1% during the forecast period (2024-2029). Anticorrosion coatings are designed to prevent or repair substrate corrosion at an early stage without using environmentally harmful inhibitors, such as chromium [Cr (VI)]. This category includes coatings with encapsulated corrosion inhibitors and chemically modified hybrid and organic matrices.
The report also examines the global smart coatings market size across various end-user segments, including construction, automotive and transportation, aerospace, defense, healthcare, and others for the indicated period. Within the construction segment, the market size has exhibited impressive growth. Projections indicate a continued upward trajectory, with the construction segment’s market size expected to reach USD 5,180 million by 2029, representing a CAGR of 18.1% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2029. Smart coatings are extensively utilized within the building and construction industry due to their capacity to reduce maintenance costs and downtime for buildings and industrial machinery. These coatings play a vital role in extending the lifespan of concrete structures and enhancing overall durability and safety. The growth of the construction sector, fueled by infrastructure development and urbanization, is a key driver behind the increasing demand for smart coatings.
