Powder Coating is a polymer system resin combined with curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives, thereby giving a much thicker coating than liquid paints without running or sagging. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Powder Coating market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like increased use of Powder Coating in the Automotive industry due to its properties like scratch resistance, gloss retention, etc., are expected to drive the global Powder Coatings market in the forecasted period. Further, the use of Powder Coatings in the Architecture Domain due to desirable properties like low cost and high weather ability is projected to drive the Powder Coating market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the increased use of Powder Coatings in Furniture as it adds flexibility and toughness is expected to drive the global Powder Coating market in the forecasted period. However, factors like very thick finish, uneven texture, and price volatility are expected to hinder the development of the Powder Coatings market in the forecasted period. 

Powder Coating is primarily used to coat walls, windows, door frames, pipes, alloy wheels, car components, radiators, metal furniture, shelves, electric motors, batteries, valves, etc. It can also be used to coat materials like Aluminium, Steel, Concrete, Wood, and Plastic Substrate, among others. 

The Primary use of Powder Coatings is in the Automotive Industry. The desirable properties of Powder Coatings, like quick-drying in ambient temperature, Chemical resistance, temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and gloss retention, are expected to increase the usage of Coating in the Automotive industries, therefore driving the growth of the global market. Further, factors like the usage of Powder Coating in various parts of the vehicle like a vehicle engine, chassis, wheels, filters, joysticks, mirrors, wipers, horns, etc., are estimated to grow the global Powder Coating market. Transparent powder coating is being evolved as a varnish for car bodies. Powder coatings have been traditionally worn in these areas and have gained confidence. They have been certified to be exceptionally durable and corrosion-free, along with the potential to impart high-quality esthetics. Furthermore, the gradual but significant increase in the usage of an electric vehicles is projected to drive the Powder Coating market for the reason that electric vehicles components like batteries and electric motors, etc., need additional Coating. Moreover, The Sherwin-Williams Company, one of the global leaders in manufacturing Powder Coatings, posted its net income of $2,030 Million for 2020, a significant 24% increase from the previous fiscal year. Also, Powder coating can give various color finishes with high durability and glossy finish giving an aesthetically pleasing look. These are the factors projected to drive the growth of the Global Powder Coating market.  

The Asia-Pacific region is awaited to be a market leader as it is one of the fastest-growing markets for Powder Coating. Economic Contraction & Saturation in European & North American markets, which has shifted the demands to the Asia-Pacific region, increasing the demands for consumer products, construction projects, etc., is one of the factors that are estimated to drive the market in the Asia Pacific market region. One of the fastest-growing markets for powder coatings is the architectural and building market, primarily due to the durability provided by powder coatings. The expansion of polyester resin technology, namely stable, low-gloss formulas, provided architectural market opportunities that promoted the growth of powder coatings. With the wide variety of colors and finishes available in powder coatings, more construction companies are turning to powder coatings to provide long-term exterior finishes for outdoor venues and public work projects. Thermoset powder coatings are derived from a variety of resins like epoxies, acrylics, polyesters, and polyurethanes. They need lower curing temperatures as compared to thermoplastic resins. It is essential to subject the powder-coated substrate to heat to allow the thermoset to flow evenly on the surface. The most considerable development in thermoset powder coatings is the capacity to engineer resin types with different properties for use in various applications. Polyesters and acrylics now find more substantial benefit in automotive and appliances industries though epoxy resin powder coating was traditionally used earlier. Most of the thermoset powder coats provide high corrosion, impact, and temperature resistance. These two industries will drive the need for thermoset powder coatings. Further, the surge in usage of Powder Coatings for automobiles, and medical devices due to the properties like anti-corrosion, anti-bacterial, etc., are projected to drive the market for Powder Coatings in this region. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently published a study saying the usage of lead paints is one of the primary reasons for deaths related to lung cancer, also causing more than 600,000 cases of disabilities. This has resulted in changing government regulations in favor of powder coating as it is environmental-friendly and has very minimum VOC emissions. Moreover, recent government regulations have increased FDI investment in the Asia-Pacific region and public-private partnerships. Thus, factors like these have made Asia-Pacific an essential scope for the global Powder Coating market.

Some of the market's key players are PPG Industries, AkzoNobel NV, The Sherwin-Williams Company, Jotun, Axalta Coating System, and Valspar Ltd. 

In Sept 2021, PPG Industries announced that it would be displaying its powder coatings for metal fabricators at FABTECH 2021 in Chicago, Illinois.

In Sep 2021, PPG Industries launched an online Powder coating site.
