Powder In-mold Coatings Market

Powder In-mold Coatings Market: Introduction

• In-mold coating (IMC) is a well-established, cost-effective, and eco-friendly technology, which offers an integrated method of surface refinement
• In-mold coatings available in the marketplace are of three types: water based, solvent based, and powder based. Among these, powder-based in-mold coatings are significantly used in various applications.
• Powder in-mold coating (PiMC) is a one-step process, in which a charged powder coating based on unsaturated polyester (UP) resins is applied to the heated tool to form a chemical compound with the inserted sheet-molding compound (SMC) / bulk-molding compound (BMC)
• Powder in-mold coatings feature unique characteristics such as protection from UV radiation, resistance to scratch, and resistance to chemicals. They are considered a perfect choice for use in outdoor applications.

Key Drivers of Global Powder In-mold Coatings Market

• Increasing demand for cement for use in various construction activities has driven the demand for powder in-mold coatings market in various building applications. There has been significant growth in constructional activities across the globe.
• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in January 2020, the construction industry was the most rapidly expanding industry in the Netherlands. With growth of the construction industry in the Netherlands, the demand for powder in-mold coatings in the country is also expected to increase in the near future.

High Costs of Raw Materials to Restrain Powder In-mold Coatings Market

• The cost of raw materials used in the manufacture of powder in-mold coatings is relatively high. This factor is expected to restrain the global market in the near future.

Global Powder In-mold Coatings Market, by Application
