Rising application scope of gas turbines in locomotives, ships, tanks, motorcycles, and helicopters is expected to help augment the demand for thermal spray coatings over the forecast period. Metal and polymer thermal spray coatings are employed in powdered form for industrial gas turbines blades on account of properties such as high temperature corrosion resistance.


Concerns over global warming and carbon emission have led various countries including the U.S., the EU, China, India, and Canada, among numerous other countries to adopt stringent emission regulations encouraging the use of cleaner energy sources fuels for power generation. Many countries have decommissioned the use of coal-fired power plants .


There is a growing trend toward distributed power generation, which involves generating electricity on a smaller scale and closer to the point of consumption. Gas turbines are ideal for distributed power generation due to their flexibility, relatively low emissions, and high efficiency .
