Which industry factors have accelerated the plastic coatings market’s expansion?
The increasing demand for automotive and transportation is expected to propel the growth of the plastic coatings market going forward. Automotive and transportation refers to the design, manufacturing, and operation of vehicles and systems that move people and goods, including cars, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, and related infrastructure. The increasing demand for automotive and transportation is driven by urbanization, rising incomes, a growing population, and a need for efficient and convenient mobility solutions. Plastic coatings in automotive and transportation protect vehicle components from corrosion, wear, and environmental damage while enhancing durability and aesthetics. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the transport, postal, and warehousing industry increased by 14.4% ($5.2 billion), building on an 11.6% ($3.8 billion) growth in the previous year (2021-22). Therefore, the increasing demand for automotive and transportation is driving the growth of the plastic coatings market.
