Driven by downstream demand, the coating materials industry is developing well

Coating materials mainly refer to a type of material that can form a coating film under certain conditions after being coated on the surface of an object, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product, extending the service life of the product, or having other special functions.

According to different product properties, coating materials can be divided into coatings, inks and adhesives; according to their application fields, coating materials can be divided into building coating materials (including building fireproof coating materials, waterproof coating materials, Building exterior wall, interior wall coating materials, etc.), industrial coating materials (including aviation, aerospace coating materials, anti-corrosion coating materials, ship coating materials, automobile coating materials, etc.) and their coating materials and Auxiliary materials, etc.

The upstream raw materials of coating materials are mainly composed of four categories, namely film-forming substances, pigments/fillers, solvents and additives. Film-forming substances are mainly composed of epoxy resin, which is an important component of coating materials; solvents are divided into petroleum solvents, ether solvents, alcohol solvents, etc., used to dissolve resin; pigments/fillers mainly include carbon black and titanium dioxide , iron red, zinc sulfide, chromium oxide green, zinc phosphate, talc, calcium carbonate, etc. Because coating materials have the advantages of good adhesion, high hardness, good toughness, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance, they are widely used in consumer electronics, household appliances, transportation, machinery manufacturing, building materials, new energy, and aviation. aerospace and other fields.

At present, there are a large number of companies in the coating material industry in my country. Among them, overseas leading coating material companies occupy an advantageous position in terms of scale, brand, technology, experience, etc. Representative companies include PPG, BASF, Sherwin-Williams (USA), AkzoNobel (Netherlands), etc.; after years of development, Chinese coating material companies have actively carried out technological innovation and vigorously deployed in the field of coating materials monopolized by foreign-funded companies. The gap between domestic companies and leading foreign-funded companies has gradually narrowed. In the domestic market The market share continues to rise. Representative companies include 3TREES, Oriental Yuhong, Carbaoli, Nippon Paint, etc.

According to the “2022-2026 Coating Materials Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years In recent years, with the continuous development of downstream industries of coating materials such as my country’s automobile industry and consumer electronics, the demand for coating materials in my country has continued to increase. As the level of science and technology continues to improve, the demand for coating materials in the downstream market will become increasingly high-end, driving my country’s coating materials industry to continuously develop new technologies and new products, and promote the industry to continue to develop towards high-end.

Industrial researchers personnel said that in the future, with the continuous development of downstream industries, my country’s demand for coating materials will continue to grow, driving The coating materials industry continues to improve its technical level and its industry competitiveness continues to increase. Overall, my country’s coating materials will face a good development trend.
