개요
세계의 방화 코팅 시장은 2023년에 8억 3,070만 달러에 달하며, 2031년에는 11억 2,820만 달러에 달할 것으로 예측되며 예측 기간 2024-2031년 CAGR은 3.9%로 성장할 전망입니다.
세계 방화 코팅 시장은 화재 안전 대책에 대한 인식 증가, 엄격한 건축 요건, 많은 산업 분야에서 화재 관련 사건 증가로 인해 꾸준히 성장하고 있습니다.
재료 과학과 기술의 지속적인 발전으로 점점 더 효과적이고 독창적인 내화 코팅이 개발되고 있습니다. 이러한 코팅은 환경 친화적이고 비용 효율적이면서 내화성을 향상시키는 동시에 내화성을 향상시킵니다. 이러한 첨단 코팅의 출현으로 북미 시장에서 수요가 증가하고 있습니다.
예를 들어 미국 대학의 과학자 그룹은 화염에 닿는 것을 방지하여 화재의 확산을 억제하는 실리콘 기반 코팅을 개발했습니다. 이 코팅은 화재가 확산되기 시작하면 분자 수준에서 분출되는 연소량을 줄임으로써 화재 확산을 늦추도록 설계되었습니다. 따라서 최근 미국 시장 개척은 북미 시장 성장에 크게 기여하고 있으며, 시장 점유율의 3/4 이상을 차지하고 있습니다.
역학
건설 업계 수요 증가
건설 산업은 방화 코팅 시장의 대부분을 차지하고 있습니다. 도시화가 진행되고 전 세계에서 인프라 프로젝트가 증가함에 따라 적절한 화재 방지 시스템을 갖춘 건물 및 구조물 건설에 대한 중요성이 강조되고 있습니다.
예를 들어 고층 빌딩, 복합 상업시설, 공항, 주택 등은 모두 안전 요구 사항과 법률을 준수하기 위해 방화 코팅이 필요합니다. 이러한 도료는 강철, 콘크리트 등의 구조물을 화재로 인한 손상으로부터 보호합니다. 결과적으로 건설 산업에서 방화 코팅에 대한 수요는 전 세계 인프라 프로젝트 증가에 정비례합니다.
혁신적 제품 확대
신제품의 출시로 인해 지금까지 알려지지 않은 새로운 용도에 방화 코팅이 사용될 수 있습니다. 제조업체는 특히 화재 안전 규정이 변화하는 특수 시장이나 개발 중인 산업을 위한 코팅을 출시할 수 있습니다. 현대의 건축용 철강 산업은 화재 안전성을 향상시켜야 한다는 요구로 인해 새로운 코팅이 도입되었습니다. 이러한 기술 혁신은 특정 산업 요구 사항을 충족시켜 시장의 성장과 보급을 촉진합니다.
2023년 2월, PPG는 최대 3시간의 셀룰로오스계 방화 성능을 가진 에폭시계 팽창성 방화 코팅인 PPG 스틸가드 951 코팅을 출시하여 현대 건축용 강재에 대한 수요를 충족시켰습니다.
엄격한 규제와 컴플라이언스 과제
내화 코팅의 경우, 엄격한 규제 기준을 충족하기 위해 중요한 테스트, 인증 및 규정 준수 문서를 작성해야 하는 경우가 많습니다. 제조업체는 시험, 연구개발, 규제 준수와 관련된 관리 비용 등 이러한 프로세스의 결과로 추가 비용을 지출하고 있습니다. 방화 코팅의 비용 상승은 추가적인 재정적 부담으로 인해 발생할 수 있으며, 특히 가격에 민감한 분야의 잠재적 소비자를 멀리하게 될 수 있습니다.
내화 코팅에 대한 엄격한 성능 목표와 시험 기준을 설정함으로써 엄격한 규제가 기술 혁신을 저해할 수 있습니다. 품질과 안전을 보장하기 위해 규제가 필요하지만, 너무 제한적인 사양은 생산자가 새로운 기술을 생산하고 판매할 수 있는 능력을 제한함으로써 혁신을 저해할 수 있습니다.
Overview
Global Fire Protection Coating Market reached US$ 830.7 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1,128.2 million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The global fire protection coating market is steadily growing, owing to increased awareness of fire safety measures, stringent construction requirements and an increase in fire-related events across numerous industries.
Ongoing advances in materials science and technology have resulted in the development of increasingly effective and inventive fire prevention coatings. These coatings provide improved fire resistance while remaining ecologically benign and cost-effective. The advent of such sophisticated coatings has boosted demand in the North American marketplace.
For instance, a group of scientists from American colleges has developed a silicon-based coating that can assist curb the spread of fires by preventing items from coming into touch with flames. The coating was designed to delay the spread of the fire by reducing the amount of combustion that erupts at the molecular level as fires begin to spread. Therefore, the recent developments in U.S. contribute significantly to the growth of the North American market capturing more than 3/4th of the market share.
Dynamics
Growing demand in Construction Industries
The construction industry generates a significant portion of the market for fire prevention coatings. As urbanization increases and infrastructure projects multiply around the world, there is a greater emphasis on building buildings and structures with suitable fire safety systems.
For instance, high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, airports and residential buildings all require fire protection coatings to comply with safety requirements and laws. These coatings protect structural materials such as steel and concrete against fire damage. As a result, the demand for fire protection coatings in the construction industry is directly proportional to the global increase in infrastructure projects.
Innovative Product Expansion
The introduction of new products may allow fire protection coatings to be used in previously undiscovered applications. Manufacturers may launch coatings intended especially for specialized markets or developing industries where fire safety regulations are changing. The requirement for improved fire safety in the modern architectural steel industry was met by the introduction of new product coating. These innovations drive market growth and adoption by meeting specific industry requirements.
In February 2023, the demands of contemporary architectural steel were addressed by PPG with the introduction of PPG STEELGUARD 951 coating, an epoxy intumescent fire protection coating that offers up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection.
Stringent Regulations and Compliance Challenges
For fire protection coatings, meeting strict regulatory standards frequently means completing significant testing, certification and compliance documentation. Manufacturers spend additional costs as a result of these processes, including costs for testing, research and development and administrative costs related to regulatory compliance. Higher costs for fire protection coatings could result from the additional financial strain, turning off prospective consumers, especially in price-sensitive sectors.
By establishing rigid performance objectives and testing standards for fire prevention coatings, stringent restrictions can hinder innovation. Although rules are necessary for ensuring quality and safety, too restrictive specifications can hinder innovation by restricting producers' ability to create and market novel technologies.
The global fire protection coating market is segmented based on type, end-user and region.
Innovative Advancements in Passive Fire Protection Coatings
Innovative product launches promote competitiveness and continued innovation in the fire protection coatings sector. Manufacturers seek to set themselves apart by developing coatings with novel features, benefits or technologies. This competitive climate promotes a cycle of innovation, resulting in the development of more advanced passive fire protection coatings that push the limits of performance and functionality.
For instance, Hempafire Optima 500, a new generation of fire protection coating from Hempel, was developed specially to increase the efficiency of passive fire protection coating applications. Therefore, the passive fire protection coatings segment dominates the global market with the majority of the market share.
Regulatory Compliance and Expanded R&D Facilities in Europe
The increasing emphasis on regulatory compliance encourages R&D efforts to develop coatings that meet or surpass these standards. Researchers collaborate closely with regulatory authorities to ensure that novel coatings conform with EU legislation, national building codes and industry-specific norms.
In January 2023, Jotun announced the completion of a significant expansion of its Global Intumescent R&D Laboratory to advance new product innovations and technologies. This ambitious extension more than doubles the size of Jotun's Flixborough Global Intumescent R&D facility, to increase product development, fire-testing capacity and capabilities.
The new facilities will speed up the development of innovations and more complex products, while also offering additional certification assistance for Jotun's current product line. Therefore, Europe is growing at a significant CAGR during the forecasted period.
Lockdown restrictions and other related interruptions all had an impact on construction activity, causing fire protection coating projects to be delayed or canceled. Uncertainty regarding project schedules and market conditions caused building owners and developers to postpone or reduce construction operations, lowering demand for coating solutions.
The pandemic-induced economic slowdown restricted investment in commercial and residential development projects, lowering demand for fire protection coating. Lockdown procedures and social distancing methods intended to contain the virus caused delays and cancellations of construction projects around the world. As construction activity decreased or ceased entirely in some locations, demand for fire protection coatings fell as fewer new buildings, infrastructure projects and industrial facilities were started or completed.
The conflict has resulted in geopolitical uncertainty and instability in the region. Such uncertainty might undermine investor confidence, disrupt trade routes and cause currency exchange rate volatility, all of which could influence the global fire protection coatings market.
As a result of infrastructure damage and the need to recover and reinforce structures in conflict-affected countries, demand for fire protection coatings may increase. This could cause a short-term increase in demand for fire prevention coatings in affected locations.
The major global players in the market include PPG Industries, Akzo Nobel N.V., The Sherwin-Williams Company, RPM International Inc., Nippon Paint Holdings Co, Axalta Coating Systems, LLC, The Valspar Corporation, BASE Coatings, KANSAI PAINT CO., LTD and Jotun Group.
