Thermal Spray Coatings Market Demand, Growth And Development Trends By 2013 - 2024.

Thermal spray coating refers to industrial process that involves coating material in wire or powder form and a heat source. The heat source is used to melt the material into tiny droplets, which are sprayed onto substrates at high velocity. This technique is able to improve performance characteristics of the substrates by imparting erosion, wear, corrosion, heat, cavitation, and abrasion. Other advantages include high deposition rate, thick coatings, and low toxic gas emissions.

Growing need to enhance durability of machines among industries to reduce maintenance costs is anticipated to propel thermal spray coatings industry growth. Changing consumer preference for thermal spray coatings over chrome plating owing to superior properties is expected to impel market growth. Stringent regulations introduced by governments across various nations to reduce use of material containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will drive the thermal spray coatings market over the forecast period.
