Glass Flake Coatings Market, Based on End-use Industry:

• Oil & Gas
• Marine
• Chemical & Petrochemical
• Others

The oil & gas segment is projected to lead the market
The growth in this segment can be attributed to the increased use of glass flake coatings in offshore & onshore platforms, pipelines, tanks, submerged surfaces, concrete bunds, and associated infrastructures. Glass flake coatings provide sufficient protection to these assets and pipelines, which increases their durability by reducing the effects of the corrosive and abrasive environment under which they operate.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the largest market for glass flake coatings mainly due to the rapidly-growing economies of China and India in the region. This, along with the low cost of production and availability of cheap labor, has caused various chemical companies in the market to shift their production bases to the Asia Pacific region. Also, the global shipbuilding industry, a major end-user of epoxy-based glass flake coatings, is led by Asia Pacific—particularly by China, South Korea, and Japan due to the presence of the top five shipbuilding groups in the region.

Key market players in the glass flake coatings market
Key players in the glass flake coatingsmarket are Akzo Nobel (Netherlands), PPG Industries (US), Chugoku Marine (Japan), Jotun (Norway), Hempel (Denmark), The Sherwin-Williams Company (US), KCC Corporation (South Korea), Nippon Paint (Japan), Kansai Paint (Japan), and RPM International (US).

The presence of key players of glass flake coatings in the Asia Pacific region is one of the main factors driving the growth of the market in this region. Key players in the market, such as Chugoku Marine (Japan), KCC Corporation (South Korea), Nippon Paint (Japan), and Kansai Paint (Japan), have their manufacturing bases in Asia Pacific. Other top companies operating in the global glass flake coatings market are also shifting their production bases to Asia Pacific, owing to the low cost of production and ease of serving emerging local markets. The glass flake coatings in the marine industry will be dominated by Asia Pacific, particularly China, South Korea, and Japan, due to the presence of major shipbuilding companies in these countries. The rapid developments in glass flake coating technology in India, Indonesia, and Australia, is another reason expected to fuel the growth of the Asia Pacific glass flake coatings market.

Based on resin, the epoxy segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing use of epoxy-based glass flake coatings in the building of marine offshore & onshore infrastructures, large cargo ships, interior & exterior of storage tanks, and various chemical processing areas. Epoxy glass flake coatings impart excellent corrosion, abrasion, chemical, and temperature resistance to oil, gas, solvents, and chemical & petrochemical products.

Based on substrate, the steel segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Steel meets the strength and toughness criteria required for the manufacture of pipes for the oil & gas; tanks for the chemical & petrochemical; and various parts of cargo ships for the marine end-use industries. The use of glass flake coatings protects steel from corrosion, fouling, and abrasion.

Based on end-use industry, the marine segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. This is due to increase in use of glass flake coatings to protect cargo ships and various onshore & offshore infrastructures from harsh weather conditions. Glass flake coatings are also vital in enhancing the fuel efficiency of a ship and decreasing the impact on the environment.
