Global Radiation Curable Coatings Market is valued at approximately USD 7.70 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.6% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Radiation curable coatings, that may be applied to a number of materials including wood, metal, glass, plastic, and paper, are polymer coatings that are cured by UV or electron beam radiation. Popular uses for these compositions include the cross-linking of adhesives, inks, and electronics using intense UV or electron beam energy sources. These coatings boost surface properties, use less energy, have a long service life, are corrosion resistant, and perform well. The radiation-cured coatings industry is growing because of low-pollution coatings, highly durable and chemically resistant finishes, and an increase in demand for wood coatings. The growing popularity of automated household items is propelling the usage of radiation curable coatings in the manufacture of domestic electrical appliances such as microwaves, ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators. Furthermore, the improving environmental compliance of the technology serves as essential for market expansion.
Moreover, the growing wood market can support the growth of the Radiation Curable Coatings Market. As the wood market expands, there is a higher demand for wood-based products such as furniture, flooring, and cabinetry. Radiation curable coatings are commonly used in the wood industry to provide protective finishes that enhance the aesthetics, durability, and resistance of wood surfaces. The growth in the wood market directly translates to a higher demand for radiation curable coatings. According to Statista, in 2022, the wood market was valued USD 152.30 billion and it is anticipated to reach USD 173.4 billion by 2024. Additionally, increasing spending on housing and growing usage of printed electronics provides lucrative opportunities to the market. However, the high material cost and large initial investment cost of Radiation Curable Coatings stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Radiation Curable Coatings Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing due to substantial manufacturing centres in the area, supported by increased investment in the industrial sector and infrastructural projects in emerging nations such as China, India & Indonesia. Also, increasing demand from end-use industries, advantages of radiation curing technology and growing awareness is anticipated to support the market growth. North America is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to high technical developments and increasing industrialisation in a range of industries such as electronics, automobiles, construction, favorable government policies, and increasing demand for eco-friendly coatings.
