Electric vehicles, hyperdurability and low-temperature cure technology offer sustainable growth for powder coatings. How is the situation at the powder coatings market?

电动汽车、超高耐久性和低温固化技术为粉末涂料提供了可持续的增长。那么粉末涂料市场情况如何呢?

The global powder coatings market is estimated to be nearly EUR 11 billion in 2021, with a CAGR of approx. 6.4 % versus 2019. according to Kevin Biller, President at Chem Quest Powder Coating Research. Asia Pacific has the largest market share at 58.9 % with Europe and North America holding a similar share of 19.1 % and 18 % respectively. 

据估计，2021年全球粉末涂料市场规模将接近110亿欧元，相比于2019年,复合年增长率约为6.4 %。 根据Chem Quest Powder Coating Research公司总裁Kevin Biller的数据. 亚太地区的市场份额最大，为58.9%，欧洲和北美的市场份额相似，分别为19.1%和18%。

A challenging period has meant a supply chain that is struggling to meet demand in the powder coatings industry. While recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the US market was hit by winter storm Uri in February 2021, which heavily impacted the petrochemical and raw material supplies for the industry. Biller suggests the pandemic and storm combined may have slowed the supply chain down by nine months or more. Consumer spending habits also diverted production and shipping to delivering consumer products instead of coating raw materials.

充满挑战的时局下,粉末涂料行业的供应链正在艰难满足需求。在从Covid-19大流行的影响中恢复的同时，美国市场在2021年2月受到冬季风暴“乌里”的打击，严重影响了该行业的石化和原材料供应。Biller认为，可能新冠和风暴结合在一起使供应链放缓了9个月或更长时间.消费者的消费习惯也使得生产和运输重心转移到了消费品而不是涂料原材料上。

Business may now be booming but manufacturers are still struggling to add capacity and fulfil orders. Raw material supply may be one reason, but the problem is compounded by a shortage of labour and truck drivers.

商业现在可能正蓬勃发展，但制造商仍在努力增加产能和完成订单。原材料供应短缺可能是一个原因，但劳动力和卡车司机的短缺又加剧了这个问题。 

In China, domestic consumption is increasing with rising capacity. China consumes about 50 % of the global market and this local market demand in China and southeast Asia affects export supplies of key raw materials for powder coatings, which are in short supply in other markets. These raw material shortages include TGIC (triglycidyl isocyanurate) and HAA (hydroxyalkyl amide) used in polyester powder coatings, which represent a 17.5 % and 12.1 % share respectively of the powder coating chemistries globally according to Biller.

在中国，随着产能的增加,国内消费也随之增加。疫情期间,中国消费了约50%的原材料全球市场，中国和东南亚的本地市场的增长需求影响了粉末涂料关键原材料的出口供应，而这些原材料在其他市场供不应求。 根据Biller的数据，这些原材料的短缺包括用于聚酯粉末涂料的TGIC(异氰尿酸三缩水甘油酯)和HAA(羟烷基酰胺)，这两种材料分别占全球粉末涂料化学品的17.5%和12.1%。

The powder market is growing at 6–7 % with the growth driven by powder coatings being used for new applications and displacing other technologies. Biller says the technology is established but the opportunities for powder coatings come primarily from a growing confidence in their performance and demand for their benefits.

随着粉末涂料被用于新应用和取代其他技术的增长，粉末市场正在以6 - 7%的速度增长。 Biller说，技术已经完备，但粉末涂料的机遇主要来自于人们对其性能和对其效益的需求日益增长的信心。 

This confidence also comes into play in further consolidation in the coatings industry with key market players such as Akzo Nobel acquiring Stahl Performance Powder Coatings and PPG acquiring Alpha Coating Technologies.

阿克苏诺贝尔收购Stahl性能粉末涂料, PPG收购Alpha涂料技术,这些粉末涂料主要市场参与者的进一步市场整合,也对市场信心的提升发挥了作用.

From a manufacturer’s perspective, Anne Banuls, Regional Powder Business Manager at PPG, gives the following insights: “High levels of demand for powder coatings span across multiple market segments, including architectural/extrusion, furniture, appliance and heavy-duty equipment/agricultural and construction equipment. As these market segments grow, the demand for powder coatings that deliver high levels of performance and protection continues to increase.”

从制造商的角度来看，PPG粉末业务区域经理Anne Banuls给出了以下见解:“粉末涂料的高水平需求跨越了多个细分市场，包括建筑/挤压加工、家具、家电和重型设备/农业和建筑设备。 随着这些细分市场的增长，对高性能和高保护性的粉末涂料的需求也在不断增加。” 

For the US market, Chem Quest cites the largest application area as general metals at 39.5 % of the powder coating market, followed by automotive at 16.5 %, and appliances at 12.2 %. Electrical currently comes in at 8.2 %.对于美国市场，Chem Quest指出最大的粉末涂料应用领域是常用金属，占粉末涂料市场的39.5%，其次是汽车，占16.5%，家电占12.2%。 电气目前占8.2%。
