The report "Fire-resistant Coatings Market by Type (Intumescent Coatings, Cementitious Coatings), Technology (Solvent-borne, Water-borne), Substrates (Metal, Wood), Application Technique (Spray, Brush & Roller), Application and Region - Global Forecast to 2026" The global fire-resistant coatings market size is projected to grow from USD 975 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1,125 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 3.5%. Europe accounted for the largest share of the market. It is projected to reach USD 490 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 3.0%, between 2021 and 2026. The growing building & construction sector in the region is projected to drive the market.
Based on technology, the water-borne coatings technology segment is estimated to hold the majority share of the overall fire-resistant coatings market. The major factor driving this segment is the increasing demand for green products. Water-borne coatings are easier to clean up, reduce the risk of fire, and result in less exposure to VOCs.
Based on application techniques, the spray segment dominated the fire-resistant coatings market. This technique is faster, has better efficiency, requires fewer coats, provides a smoother finish, and can be used to coat complex geometries. These factors make it the preferred application technique for fire-resistant coatings.
Europe accounted for the largest share of the global fire-resistant coatings market in 2019. The growth of the fire-resistant coatings market in this region is mainly attributed to stringent government regulations, an industrial initiative for sustainable development, and a strong emphasis on protection against fire. Moreover, the practice of constructing green buildings and adopting green coatings offers many opportunities for the growth of the market in the region. The European market is mainly dominated by the EU-5 countries, especially Germany and the UK.
The leading players in the fire-resistant coatings market include AkzoNobel (Netherlands), PPG (US), Jotun (Norway), Sherwin-Williams (US), and Hempel (Denmark).
