Phosphate Conversion Coatings Market

The Phosphate Conversion Coatings Market is experiencing significant growth in the automotive industry due to its ability to transform the metal surfaces of auto components into non-metallic crystalline surfaces. These coatings offer several advantages, including enhanced appearance, improved corrosion resistance, and the promotion of adhesion and lubrication. Automotive manufacturers are increasingly using phosphate conversion coatings to enhance the performance and durability of critical components such as car frames, engine mounts, and wheels.

Future Market Insights (FMI), Dubai: As per exhaustive research by FMI, the global phosphate conversion coatings market is poised to total US$ 1.86 Bn in 2022. Increasing adoption in the production of casing connections to enhance their sealing performance is fueling the demand for phosphate conversion coatings.

Phosphate conversion coatings transform the basis metal surface into a non-metallic crystalline surface. This enhances appearance, improves corrosion resistance, and promotes adhesion lubrication. Hence, these coatings are extensively being used across the automotive industry to enhance auto components such as car frames, engine mounts, and wheels.

Consecutively, increasing demand for automotive vehicles across the countries such as the U.S., China, Germany, and India is projected to aid the growth of the market. On account of this, sales of phosphate conversion coatings are projected to reach a 4% CAGR, surpassing US$ 2.36 Billion over the forecast period between 2022 and 2028.
