Thermal Spray Market Analysis

The Thermal Spray Market size is estimated at USD 12.53 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 15.56 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The thermal spray market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, there was a slowdown in manufacturing activities due to lockdowns and supply chain disruptions, leading to a temporary decrease in demand for thermal spray coatings. However, as industries adopted new norms and increased their emphasis on hygiene and protection, there was a growing demand for thermal spray coatings in industries such as healthcare, automotive, and aerospace.

  • The increasing popularity of thermal spray ceramic coatings due to their usage in medical devices, the rising use of thermal spray coatings in the aerospace industry, and the replacement of hard chrome coatings are some factors driving the demand for the thermal spray market.
  • However, issues regarding process reliability and consistency and the emergence of hard trivalent chrome coatings in recent years are likely to hinder the market's growth.
  • The increasing demand for thermal spray from the oil and gas industry, recycling of thermal spray processing materials, and advancements in spraying technology (cold spray process) are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the thermal spray market over the forecast period.

Thermal Spray Market Trends

The Aerospace Industry is Expected to Dominate the Market

  • Aerospace components are often exposed to harsh environments, including high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and extreme weather conditions. Thermal spray coatings provide an effective barrier against corrosion, extending the lifespan of critical components such as turbine blades, engine parts, and airframes.
  • Thermal spray coatings offer lightweight solutions for aerospace components, contributing to fuel efficiency and overall aircraft performance. Coatings with tailored properties can replace heavier materials while maintaining structural integrity.
  • The aerospace industry is undergoing rapid technological advancements and innovation, creating upswings for aircraft manufacturing. According to the Boeing Commercial Outlook 2023-2042, with a resurgence in international traffic and domestic air travel back to pre-pandemic levels, the company has projected global demand for 48,575 new commercial jets by 2042. ​
  • According to the International Air Travel Association, domestic commercial aircraft passenger traffic increased by 9.2% over the pre-pandemic timeline in August 2023. Increased air traffic may raise the demand for commercial aircraft and propel the demand for adhesives during the forecast period.
  • Airbus, a major aircraft manufacturer worldwide, delivered 735 commercial aircraft in 2023, an increase of 11% compared to the previous year.
  • The factors mentioned above are expected to boost the demand for thermal spray in the aerospace industry during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific is experiencing rapid industrialization, particularly in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The region's booming manufacturing sector, including the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and energy industries, is driving significant demand for thermal spray coatings to enhance component performance and durability.
  • Governments in Asia-Pacific are investing heavily in infrastructure projects, including transportation, energy, and construction. Thermal spray coatings protect critical infrastructure components from corrosion, wear, and erosion, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
  • China is one of the world's biggest aircraft manufacturers and a market for domestic air passengers, as stated by the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration. In addition, with more than 200 small aircraft component manufacturers, there has been rapid growth in the parts and assembly industry.
  • China is the largest electronics manufacturing base in the world. Electronic products such as smartphones, televisions, cables, mobile computers, gaming systems, and other consumer electronic equipment are being produced in China on an active basis. According to the CEIC, in December 2023, the export value of Chinese electronics products was USD 21.63 billion.
  • In 2023, South Korea received a total of USD 18.8 billion in investments from abroad, marking a 3.4% increase from the previous year. Specifically, the electronics industry saw the largest share of this investment, with USD 3 billion allocated, standing out as the top sub-industry.
  • China is one of the largest producers of steel globally. According to official figures, the nation's primary steel production reached 952.14 million tons during the initial 11 months of 2023, marking a 1.5% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
  • The automotive industry in India plays a crucial role in technological advancements and macroeconomic expansion. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the number of vehicles sold from April 2023 to March 2024 reached 23,853,463, marking an increase of 12.5% from the 21,204,846 units sold in the same timeframe during FY 2023.
  • Due to the above-mentioned factors, the region is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
