The Middle East & Africa corrosion protection coating (CPC) market size is expected to reach USD 4,382.2 million by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry growth is majorly driven by the increasing demand from the construction, automobile, oil & gas, marine, petrochemical, and other industries worldwide. CPCs play a vital role in the oil and gas industry in safeguarding various equipment, infrastructure, and assets against corrosion in harsh operating environments. According to Hempel A/S, numerous factors contribute to the reduced lifespan of equipment in the oil and gas industry.
These factors encompass drilling operations, transportation of oil and gas to processing facilities, constant exposure to corrosive seawater, and enduring harsh weather conditions. In situations where regular maintenance is not feasible, it becomes imperative to employ robust coatings that can extend the lifespan of the equipment. CPCs are applied to both onshore and offshore pipelines to prevent corrosion caused by soil, water, and other substances. They act as a barrier between the metal surface and the surrounding environment, protecting the pipelines from degradation and ensuring their structural integrity. Furthermore, above-ground and underground storage tanks used for storing crude oil, refined products, and chemicals are prone to rusting.
Therefore, CPCs are applied to both the internal and external surfaces of these tanks to prevent corrosion and extend their service life. According to Corrosionpedia, within the automotive industry, there has been a growing focus on the adoption of lightweight construction materials to enhance fuel efficiency and comply with regulatory standards. Automotive manufacturers are leveraging recent advancements in high-strength steels, ultra-high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and composites. Over time, aluminum has gained popularity due to its superior rust resistance when compared to traditional iron and steel materials. Powder coating serves as a widely utilized application in the automotive industry, providing chemical resistance and a high level of heat resistance through the application of suitable powder materials.
