Non-Stick Coatings Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Non-Stick Coatings Market size is forecast to reach $19.4 billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2020-2025. There is an increase in the demand of non stick coatings for various applications such as cookware, industrial machinery, automotive and food processing, because of its characteristics such as scratch resistant, uniform distribution of heat, repellant to water & oil, low friction coefficient, and more. Also, the non-stick coatings offer a reduced coefficient of friction and eliminate noise. Moreover, non-stick coatings are able to operate at temperatures as high as 260°C and allow the appliances to withstand temperatures as low as -270°C, which is anticipated to drive the non-stick coatings market substantially during the forecast period.

The report: “Non-Stick Coatings Market – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the non-stick coatings Industry.

The PTFE segment holds the largest share in the non-stick coatings market in 2019, owing to its extensive set of properties such as low friction, self cleaning, and effective at wide range of temperature, long term weatherability, non- flammability, chemical resistance, and high electrical & dielectric strength. The PTFE coatings are made with mainly four ingredients - fluorspar, hydrofluoric acid, chloroform, and water. Non-stick PTFE coatings has a very high melting point and auto-ignition temperature and can thus be applied to a large range of components such as aluminium, brass, carbon steel, stainless steel, steel alloys, glass, ceramics, rubber, plastics, paper and magnesium. Also, Non-stick PTFE coatings acts as a layer of protection as it is not affected by ultraviolet and is resistant to oxidation, discoloration, and embrittlement, which is anticipated to drive the non-stick coatings market during the forecast period.

The cookware application holds the largest share in the non-stick coatings market in 2019 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.5%, owing to increasing usage of PTFE in cookware due to its properties such as non-stick, hydrophobic, low refractive index and high temperature resistance. The non-stick coatings are widely used in cookware owing to its major advantages such as super easy cleanup, less food sticking to the surface, and the ability to cook with less oil and butter. The surface of cookware is enhanced with a non-stick coating such as PTFE on a base material of aluminium as it keeps the food from sticking on the cookware surface completely. Also, non-stick cookware evenly distributes heat so that food is cooked faster than regular cookware. Moreover, the cookware equipment can be wiped clean much more quickly when it is covered in a non-stick coating, which is increasing the demand of non-stick coatings from the cookware sectors.

Asia Pacific region holds the largest share in the non-stick coatings market in 2019 up to 32%, owing to the increasing economic, urbanization and housing activities in the APAC region. In nations such as China, India, Australia, Vietnam and Singapore, the increasing population growth and rising per capita income of the individuals is resulting in an increased number of houses which in turn is increasing the demand for household appliances, including kitchen appliances, cookware and more. The projects such as ‘100 smart cities’ and ‘Housing for All by 2022,’ by the government in India are expected to drive the Indian residential construction market over the forecast period. Also, because of the increasing demand of better quality products the people are shifting towards non-stick cookware. The infrastructural developments in the industries such as chemicals, construction, packaging, textiles, and food in Australia, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia and New Zealand are also likely to drive the non-stick coatings market. All the aforementioned factors are anticipated to boost the demand for non-stick coatings in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period.

There is an increasing demand of non-stick coatings in various end use industries such as chemical, medical and automotive industries. Non-stick coatings are cost effective and are often used in the industrial machineries to provide longer shelf life to the equipments. Non stick coatings are when used on equipments such as transporting pipes or storage containers that might hold the harsh chemicals or acids; they do not get damaged as they are much less reactive to harsh chemicals than other materials. There is an increasing demand of non-stick coatings in the automation industries as the non-stick coatings does not only protect the vehicles from scratches and scuffs but also shields it from road chips, tar, rust, corrosion and environmental impacts. Also, the non-stick coating doesn’t bond with paint at the molecular level but instead acts as a protective layer over the paint. The increasing demand of non stick coatings various end-use industries acts as a driver for the non-stick coating market during the forecast period.

The demand for sol–gel coatings are increasing as they improve the adhesion between substrate and the top coat. Sol–gel coatings can be prepared by simple, non-vacuum processes with only a small capital investment and it is of affordable cost, which is the most important driving force behind the growth of sol–gel coatings. There is an increasing demand for sol–gel based coatings as they are being widely used in sector of engineering applications such as aerospace, electronics, ships, building, decorative and more. Sol–gel coatings are often deposited on metals to improve their resistance to oxidation. Sol-gel has increased applications in the fields of catalysis, sensors, and biotechnology, and the applications are continually developing and new possibilities are suggested every year which acts as a driver.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is often used in the process of making Teflon non-stick and in making Scotchgard water repellent. PFOA are highly persistent and accumulate over time in humans, animals and the environment, for long periods of time and they don’t break down. Since, nonstick cookware is made using a carcinogenic chemical that is PFOA, when it is over heated it releases harmful toxins, which makes the Teflon layer breaks down into PFIB chemical which is harmful to health. As PFOA is carcinogenic, it is even responsible for many cancer diseases. In May, 2019 almost 180 countries decided to ban production and use of PFOA, its salts, and PFOA-related compounds under the international Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). However, five-year exemptions to the ban were approved for the chemical to manufacture firefighting foam, plastic accessories for car interior parts and electrical wires. These bans and regulations may avail as a hindrance to the non-stick coatings market during the forecast period.
