COVID-19 Impact

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many industries had suffered a tumultuous time, and it was no different for the Surface Protection Services Market. Many governments across the globe implemented lockdown regulations and factories & production facilities in many sectors came to a halt. The supply chain was greatly disrupted as many businesses followed the lockdown protocols. Some of the primary end-use industries of surface protection services are the manufacturing sector, the oil & gas sector, and the aerospace & defense sector. There was a historic decline in the demand for oil during the Covid-19 Pandemic. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy consumption decreased by 4% in 2020. According to the International Air Transport Association, the demand for passenger air travel fell by 65% from 2019 to 2020 with international travel decreasing by 75.6% since 2019. However, the economy is now recovering as many people are getting vaccinated and lockdown procedures are being lifted globally. As such, many of the sectors are now recovering from their losses in the Pandemic. For example, according to the IEA, the global energy investment has seen an investment of USD$ 1.9 trillion in 2021 which is an increase of about 10% from 2020. As such, the Surface Protection Services Market is estimated to grow significantly within the forecast period of 2022-2027.

Surface Protection Services Market Analysis – By Service Type

The corrosion protection coating type of service holds the largest share of 25.2% in the surface protection services market. Corrosion protection coatings are applied on metal parts and surfaces to prevent the corrosion of metals over a longer period. They are modified to provide corrosion protection for various substrates and corrosive environments. It is used in preventing degradation brought about by oxidation, moisture, exposure to chemicals, and more. They are primarily used in pipelines, hydraulic shafts & cylinders, and tanks. According to the Global Energy Monitor, 82.7% of all pipelines in development are purposed for carrying gas and there is planned development worth USD$ 1 trillion as of 2021 in a 212,000 km expansion of the global system of oil & gas transmission pipelines. With the rising usage of corrosion protection coating type of services in pipelines the market for surface protection is estimated to rise.

Surface Protection Services Market Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The oil & gas industry held the largest share in the surface protection services market in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR 5.9% during 2022-2027. Surface protection services are extensively used in the oil & gas industry to prevent corrosion in pipelines, tanks, and vessel equipment and also in mechanical protection for pipelines that suffer from environmental pressure. As such, an increase in demand for the oil & gas industry is a catalyst for the growth of the surface protection services market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the oil demand is set to rise to 104 million barrels/day (mb/d) by 2026 which is an increase of 4% from 2019 levels. The demand is primarily being led by the petrochemical industry where ethane, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), and naptha account for 70% of the demand.

Surface Protection Services Market Analysis – By Geography

Asia-Pacific region dominated the surface protection services market with a share of 43% in the year 2021. This is because of the increase in demand for the oil & gas and manufacturing sector in the region. According to the International Energy Association (IEA), Asia will continue to dominate growth in the global oil demand, accounting for 90% of the increase between 2019 and 2026. This is primarily because of the high demand of the automotive industry in the region. In addition, the manufacturing sector of countries in the Asia-Pacific region has also witnessed significant investment growth. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian manufacturing sector saw an investment of USD$ 405.8 billion in the first half of FY 2020. Due to such reasons, the demand for surface protection services has also seen a significant increase. As such, the Asia-Pacific region dominates the surface protection services market within the forecast period of 2022-2027. 

Surface Protection Services Market Drivers
