Profile

Although waterborne coating is the star product in the coating industry in 2016, its development momentum is irresistible, but it does not cover the light of powder coating. As a new type of solvent-free 100% solid powder coating, powder coating has the advantages of solvent-free, pollution-free, recyclable, environmental protection, energy and resource saving, labor intensity reduction and coating mechanical strength. Powder coatings in China started in 1965. In recent years, with the rapid development of home appliances and furniture industry and the maturity of powder coating related industry chain, powder coatings have achieved great development.

According to relevant data statistics, in 2015, the cumulative output of national coatings was 17.17 million tons, of which the total output of powder coatings was 1.85 million tons, accounting for 10.8% of the total production of 17.17 million tons. There were 2385 enterprises, mainly distributed in East China and Central South China, accounting for 78% of the total, and the northwest region was the least distributed, accounting for only 1% of the total. According to the statistics of the coating professional committee of China chemical industry society, the sales volume of powder coatings of China's representative enterprises increased by 11.8% in the first half of 2016. From the above data, it can be seen that powder coating, one of the environmental friendly coatings, is gradually becoming a new gold mine for many coating enterprises when the environmental protection storm is sweeping China with thunderous force. So in 2016, which coating enterprises "powder factory"? I'd like to make an inventory for you.

Summary: powder coatings are divided into thermosetting powder coatings and thermoplastic powder coatings. According to the 2015 powder coatings data released by the 2016 China powder coatings and coating industry annual meeting, in the field of thermosetting powder coatings, the market share of building materials (including HVAC) powder coatings in 2015 was 26.1%, that of general industrial powder coatings was 20.3%, and that of home appliance powder coatings was 19 5%, followed by furniture powder coating 15.1%; other application fields include 3C products 6.3%, agricultural engineering machinery and automobile 6%, functional and corrosion resistance 6.7%. Compared with 2014, the market share of powder coatings for furniture increased greatly. According to the latest research by marketwired, the market size of powder coatings is expected to reach 12.48 billion US dollars in 2020.

China is the world's largest producer of powder coatings, and also the largest producer of powder coatings for automobiles. Although restricted by economic downturn and real estate regulation, the markets in East China and Central South China are gradually saturated. However, thanks to the upgrading of environmental protection pressure and the growth of automobile, electronics, furniture and other industries, the Asia Pacific region will become the largest powder coating consumer market. In the future, powder coatings will become the largest It is expected that the compound annual growth rate will reach 8.5% by 2020. China's "one belt, one road" construction will accelerate the process of city development in the west, and the West will become the focus of investment. AkzoNobel's production base in Qionglai also proves this point. In addition, in addition to the growing Chinese market, India, Russia, Brazil and other developing countries are also expected to become the major consumer countries of powder coatings in the future, and coating enterprises may increase their investment in these areas in 2017. The North American and European markets have entered the mature stage and are expected to grow slowly in the future.
