Metal Processing Surface Treatment Market Analysis | 2021-2026

Market Highlights

The Metal Processing Surface Treatment Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period to reach close to a billion-dollar mark by 2026.

The metal processing industry is one of the major markets for surface treatments, occupying more than a 20% share of the total market. The surface of various metals can be treated to deliver the protective, aesthetic, and desired finished surfaces. Across the world, various iron, steel, and aluminum mills have been working for the development of advanced solutions for various end markets in which surface treatment plays a vital role. In recent times, there have been notable advancements in coating, pre-treatment, or surface protection technologies to enhance performance, ease of processing, and reduce cost.

Impact of Covid-19

Unlike other industries such as aerospace and automotive, the metal processing industry has relatively been untouched by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Can and coil, the major applications of surface treatment chemicals, witnessed a mild impact of the pandemic, a key factor behind a relatively low impact of the pandemic on the demand for surface treatment compared with the other major markets for surface treatment like aerospace and automotive. Overall, in 2020, the metal processing surface treatment market experienced a low-end single-digit decline and is likely to witness decent growth in the coming years.
