Among the reasons for growth within the protective coatings market, the study found that the demand for green coatings, which have a high utilization rate, less waste, and lower costs to apply, tops the list of growth drivers. It predicts that powder coatings will provide new opportunities for the market, since they are a good replacement for solvent-based products. According to the study, these coatings are less expensive and more environmentally friendly than liquid paint. High curing temperatures are required for powder coating applications, which can be challenging to achieve with heat-sensitive materials like plastic and wood. To address these challenges, many developers have attempted to enhance curing temperatures. The study reports that powder coatings may now be fixed at 120 °C, utilizing new infrared and UV curing technologies, which considerably reduce the previously required temperature. As a result of this innovation, the spectrum of materials and industries that can potentially profit from powder in the future has grown significantly.

Powder coatings are also eco-friendly, making them a viable option for many large coating companies to reduce their carbon footprint. These coatings produce much fewer volatile organic molecules because they do not require the application of a solvent to a surface. Writers of the report expect that powder coatings will replace other traditional coatings in the coming years due to these factors, offering growth potential for protective coatings during the forecast period.
