Growth Rate of Market to Drop in 2020 amid COVID-19 Pandemic

The Thailand hot-dip galvanization market is expected to tread through a rough patch in 2020 due to the outbreak of the novel COVID-19 pandemic. Several lockdowns imposed by the Government of Thailand to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus have drastically impacted the automotive and the construction sector of the country, thus, leading to a standstill in the demand for hot-dip galvanized products for the automotive and construction sectors. The country is experiencing supply-chain disruptions factory closures and transportation restrictions. This issue is aggravated by its high dependency on intermediate goods from other markets hit by the COVID-19 outbreak, including China, Japan, and South Korea. Likewise, the import of hot-dip galvanized metal was also affected, owing to severe regulations and anti-dumping duties levied by the Government. However, domestic hot-dip galvanizers have begun increasing their production capacity and output in order to curb this demand supply gap. The construction sector is expected to witness expansion due to upcoming infrastructure projects such as Phuket’s planned $1.2 Bn tram system, monorail system planned for the city of Pattaya, and 116 projects associated with Southern Economic Corridor scheme under which the government is investing US$ 3.4 Bn to develop infrastructure. These projects are estimated to boost the construction and steel industries and consequently, fuel the demand for hot-dip galvanized steel in the long-term.

However, as lockdown restrictions are gradually being lifted across Thailand, the Thailand hot-dip galvanization market is likely to show signs of recovery in the upcoming months.

Thailand Hot-dip Galvanization Market: Overview

  • Hot-dip galvanization is the process of coating steel, iron, and other ferrous metals with a layer of zinc, by dipping the metal into a kettle/bath filled with molten zinc at a high temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F). Layer of zinc formed on the metal surface further reacts with carbon dioxide and forms zinc carbonate, which protects steel and other metals from corrosion. Hot-dip galvanized steel has diverse end uses and is utilized not only in automotive, but in construction & building applications.
  • Hot-dip galvanizing helps in corrosion prevention in various ways. Zinc coated on metal surface acts as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating were scratched, remaining zinc would safeguard the exposed metal. Zinc forms a barrier that prevents the corrosive substance from entering the underlying substrates. The metallic zinc surface reacts with the atmosphere to form a thin, compact, and tightly adherent patina that is insoluble in rainwater.

Key Growth Drivers of Thailand Hot-dip Galvanization Market

  • Steel is a key component in the production of several goods consumed in various end-use industries such as construction, automotive, electrical appliances, and packaging. According to a report published by Iron and Steel Institute of Thailand (ISIT), in terms of steel consumption, the demand for steel is primarily generated from the construction sector, which accounts for almost 57% of total consumption, nationwide, followed by the production of automobiles (18%), machinery (11%), electrical appliances (9%), packaging (4%), and other sectors (1%).
  • In 2018, global consumption of steel increased by 3.9% as compared to that in 2017. Meanwhile, consumption of steel in Thailand increased at a rate of 4.8% (or a total of 17.5 million tons) in 2018, owing to an increase in the demand for steel in the construction of government infrastructure projects and private sector real-estate development. In CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam) countries, high investment by governments on industrial and infrastructure sectors boosted steel exports from Thailand by 10.3% to 1.7 million tons.
  • Steel and other metals remain highly important building materials for construction activities. The construction industry in Thailand is expanding, which is fueling the demand for hot-dip galvanized metals that can resist a corrosive environment.
  • The Government of Thailand launched a National Strategic Plan (2017-2036), which is estimated to focus on improvement of trade conditions, propelling the country’s competitiveness and long-term economic goals by the upcoming planned development in rail, road, airport, and electricity infrastructure
  • Rise in focus of the government on the manufacturing sector and continuous strategic investment are key factors significantly boosting the adoption of hot-dip galvanization
  • Thailand is also a key exporter of steel products, including hot-dip galvanized steel to countries such as Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, China, India, Malaysia, and the U.S.
  • Among metal types, consumption of hot-dip galvanized steel is high in construction and automotive sectors as compared to that of iron, aluminum, and other ferrous metals. Easy availability, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance are major factors driving the demand for hot-dip galvanized steel. Upcoming infrastructure projects and emerging auto sector of Thailand are further estimated to propel the hot-dip galvanization market.

Restraints of Thailand Hot-dip Galvanization Market

  • For most applications, a galvanized zinc coating is likely to provide some kind of corrosion resistance, and provides strength and flexibility desired by end users. Two main types of galvanized coatings are: Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) and Electro Galvanized, also known as Cold Galvanized. The main difference between hot-dip galvanization and electro-galvanization is the cost. HDG coating usually cost 5 times more than electro galvanized coating.
  • Another difference is the galvanized surface. In hot-dip galvanized coating, the metallic surface texture is rough and has lot of ‘pimples’. Dull finish containing drips in hot-dip galvanized metal makes it unsuitable for use in architectural or esthetic applications. Meanwhile, electro galvanized coating metal can provide glossy and superior esthetic appearance with the addition of cost benefits. The finished coating of electro-galvanization is smooth, drip-free, and shiny making it ideal for architectural or other applications.
