Floor Coatings Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, by Product Type (Epoxy, Polyaspartic, Acrylic, Polyurethane, Others), by Floor Material (Wood, Concrete, Terrazzo, Mortar, Others), by End-User Industry (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa) Analysis and Forecast 2022-2030

Market Perspective

The global Floor Coatings Market was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 5.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.3%. Floor coatings are protective layers applied to surfaces that are subjected to corrosion, wear, or stress, such as those found in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and chemical plants. Various types of floor coatings, such as polyurethane and epoxy-based coatings, are commonly used in resurfacing and stain removal.

The growth of the construction industry, as well as the rising use of coatings in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, are driving the floor coatings market. Furthermore, the demand for floor coatings has been boosted by global population growth and increased industrialization. Furthermore, the market players might benefit from an increase in infrastructure investment as well as increased demand for floor coatings from the chemical industry.

COVID-19 ANALYSIS

The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted severely on the growth of the global floor coatings market. Lockdowns and stringent government laws disrupted the supply and demand for raw materials, limiting manufacturing and significantly hurting production facilities around the world. Due to a scarcity of workers, nationwide lockdowns, and a slowing economy, ongoing building projects have suffered.

The most widely reported impact of COVID-19, according to Lexology, is a severe labor shortage. For example, China's construction industry is heavily reliant on rural migrant workers, with 54 million rural migrant workers employed in the industry, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. After the shutdown in 2020, migrant employees who had returned home for the Lunar New Year break were unable to return to work. The floor is projected to rise due to vaccination efforts and the easing of lockdowns.
