Low fuel cost & comparatively cheap air fares are attracting new fliers and increasing flying frequency which in turn is driving the aerospace industry. The aviation industry relies on new aircraft in order to meet the consumer demand, thus driving demand for the product.

The major raw materials utilized in the manufacturing of coatings are dyes & pigments which are derivatives of crude oil. The prices of raw materials lead to volatility in the coating prices, thereby affecting the equipment demand. The dependence of the market on material prices is anticipated to restrain the demand over the forecast period.

High initial cost of the product is further expected to restrain the market over the forecast period. However, various companies such as OC Oerlikon, and Anesta Iwata are involved with offering operation specific parts to the consumers. Parts such as spray guns, feeders, and control valves are priced lower as compared to the whole system.

Liquid coating equipment is expected to witness a low growth rate as compared to other products. The VOC emission during the layering process is around 3.5 to 5.5 pounds per each gallon, which is significantly high. The environmental concerns related to the operation is anticipated to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.

Application Insights

Automotive application accounted for a share of 27.2% of the global market in 2016. Penetration of equipment in the automotive application is expected to be high over the forecast period due to increasing utilization of specialty & powder coatings across the industry.

Increasing demand for coated electronic devices and focus on protection of car exteriors is expected to drive the product demand over the next eight years. Automated equipment is considered to lower the amount of wastage during the automotive production which is likely to provide a positive scope for market growth.
