According to a study published by Insure Insights, the global UV coating market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period. UV coatings are kind of coatings that are cured with ultraviolet radiation. It can be deployed on many substrates such as wood products, inks, paper, glass, and plastics. The UV coatings have many benefits over traditional curing and drying methods, such as PVC coatings. UV curing coatings are primarily used to increase production speed and enhance scratch and solvent resistance. The UV coatings have been adopted by many industries such as graphic arts, automotive, telecommunications, glass, and plastic decorations. The demand for the UV coating is increasing rapidly owing to its higher productivity in less time, minimum waste, zero environmental pollutants, and no loss of coating thickness.

Top Driver: Stringent Environmental Norms and Infrastructure Development

The global UV cured coating market is expected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period due to the rising demand for UV coating over the conventional high-solids coatings, PVC coatings, and waterborne and powder coatings. The stringent environmental norms leading to the less employment of conventional coating processes are major factors driving the market. The rising awareness to reduce the volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions by adopting eco-friendly technologies such as UV coatings is also estimated to fuel market growth. The expanding infrastructure development and spending, particularly for commercial and residential sectors, also propel the demand of the UV coatings.
