The global UV coatings market is anticipated to attain a valuation of USD 4,065.94 million in 2023 and is estimated to reach USD 6,780 million by 2033, expected to rise at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. The demand for UV coatings is expected to rise due to increasing environmental awareness and the growing electronics industry. The rise in coatings demand from industrial applications will most likely have a positive impact on the market.
The market growth is expected to be supported by low operational costs, minimal to zero volatile organic compound emissions, and superior characteristics such as higher gloss finish and improved resistance. The growth of graphic arts and numerous industrial applications such as wood, plastic, conformal, display, and paper coatings is anticipated to contribute to market expansion.
The sales of UV coatings are expected to increase due to rising research activities focused on generating new and enhanced functionalities, particularly through the application of nanotechnology. Self-healing coatings, which incorporate filled nanocapsules, are being developed to repair physical damage by releasing polymerizable substances. Additionally, there is a growing demand for biocidal coatings, leading to ongoing research to enhance their resistance against a wide range of microbes. These factors have the potential to significantly boost market growth.
UV coatings technology offers two key advantages that have earned it the “green” label in the clothing manufacturing industry. Firstly, UV coating formulations typically have low levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Secondly, UV coatings require less energy for drying compared to solvent-based or water-based coatings, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As companies strive to reduce their environmental footprint and comply with regulations, UV coatings serve as a valuable tool to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. These factors are expected to drive market growth throughout the forecast period.
