The global chromium phosphate market size is anticipated to reach USD 250.0 million by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising adoption of corrosion inhibitor coatings across multiple construction projects related to infrastructure development and enhancements, growing demand from the chemical manufacturing sector, and increasing applications are primarily driving growth for this market.
Growing construction spending across multiple developed economies, such as the U.S. and developing countries, is expected to positively influence the chromium phosphate market growth during the forecast period. An increasing number of projects in the private or public construction sector is likely to result in significant opportunities. According to the Monthly Constructions Spending update shared by the U.S. Census Bureau in March 2025, construction spending during March 2025 was estimated at USD 2,196.1 billion with a seasonally adjusted annual rate. This represented a 2.8% increase compared to construction spending in March 2024, which was valued at USD 2,135.8 billion on a seasonally adjusted annual basis.
Significant changes linked to aspects of construction, such as designs and materials used according to capacity to withstand external changes, are likely to increase demand for chromium phosphate-based coatings. The materials' higher molecular weight provides superior corrosion inhibitor capabilities, which drives the demand from the coatings industry.
Large-scale manufacturing, effective distribution by marketers, and increasing applications across various industries are likely to generate lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period. In addition, innovation in the paints and coatings industry is expected to fuel the adoption of chromium phosphate from 2025 to 2030.
