The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
Integrated coating processes involve a reduction in the number of coating layers. Vendors are increasingly working toward eliminating the primer layer by introducing integrated coating solutions. BASF is at the forefront of this trend, with the introduction of an innovative basecoat that eliminates the need for a primer. This integrated process is expected to offer greater customer value through reductions in capital investments and savings in energy and material costs. Through this integrated process, the company expects to enhance its market share during the forecast period.
According to the report, automakers are increasingly focusing on unique color schemes to differentiate their products and attract buyers. Vendors of coatings such as BASF track current color preferences and predict future color trends for the R&D of basecoats. Though white was the most popular color in 2014, vendors believe the market is expected to witness a growing preference for natural color tones such as copper and brown. A wide assortment of colors and variations such as bronze and rose gold are available in the market, with vendors introducing coating products exhibiting differential effects such as glass flakes and micas. A substantial demand for metallic-colored premium passenger cars is also driving market growth. Metallic coatings are also used in conjunction with non-metallic coatings to provide unique effects.
