Market Dynamics
The consumer expectation regarding high performance, longer service life, and better corrosion resistance from vehicular coatings, is increasing the penetration of specialty coating within automotive industry, thus driving the market growth. The increase in automobile production in developing countries, and rise in application of coatings on these vehicles for improved weather, corrosion, and mechanical resistance is expected to drive the market growth. The application of these specialty coatings also reduces production times and operating costs, thus benefitting the manufacturers. For instance, in July 2016, The Sherwin-Williams Company launched a new fast drying polyester primer, HDR22, for protection against hail damage.

The implementation of stringent environmental regulations related to specific limits on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission might adversely impact the production rate of the coatings industry. The rise in prices of raw materials and dip in oil prices might also lead to decline in automobile sales, indirectly affecting the automotive specialty coatings market. The increase in sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) would also act as a market barrier, since the electrically-run vehicles do not involve engines, a significant application part of automotive specialty coatings.

Global Automotive Specialty Coatings Market - Segment Analysis
The global automotive specialty coatings market is segmented by resin type into acrylic-based, epoxy-based, polyester, polyurethane, and others. The polyurethane-based specialty coatings is the leading segment by market share, owing to its high gloss and corrosion-resistant properties, coupled with reduced weight, low fuel consumption, recyclability properties, and fast drying-time. For instance, in November 2016, The Sherwin-Williams Company launched the Dynamic Clearcoat CC200, a new polyurethane-based specialty coatings for automotive application, which offers superior appearance in half the production time and reduces energy consumption. The polyester coating segment is also expected to witness stable growth owing to its high solid content, ultra high-build characteristics, and show-quality finish.
Based on technology, the market is segmented into powder coatings, solvent-borne, water-borne, and others. The water-borne coatings technology holds a significant market share owing to the eco-friendly properties it offers, such as reduction in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The powder coating segment will witness healthy growth rate during the forecast period owing to the lowering of production time and operating costs.
