Gelcoat Market Overview

The Gelcoat market is enhanced by the surging demand from the emerging countries rapid growth in applications. Gelcoat helps in delivering high-quality finish on the surfaces of fiber-reinforced composites and protects structural laminates. Isophthalic acid-based resins are used in the manufacturing of gelcoats and are available in spray and brush versions so that laminate is not prone to cracking damage. The global gelcoat market, as per a report by Market Research Future (MRFR) is touted to register a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2017-2025).

The recent boom in the marine industry is one of the key factors contributing to the market growth across the globe. Gelcoats are generally used to paint the exterior and interior surfaces and protect metal components from the attack of UV radiation and chemicals. Due to their superior properties, high durability, and supreme quality, gelcoats are extensively used in the marine industry. The mounting demand for low-styrene emission gelcoat is considered one of the primary global gelcoat market trends, which will gain traction over the review period.

Global Gelcoat Market: Segmental Analysis

The gelcoat market growth has been segmented on the basis of resin type and end use industry.

By resin type, the market constitutes of vinyl ester, polyester, epoxy, and others. Of these, polyester is the most extensively used resin for gelcoat. It is easily available and has a low price compared to other resins. Polyester offers useful properties like low shrinkage and is resistant to chemicals and water. Such attributes enable polyester resin-based gelcoat to be used in the construction and marine industries.

The end use industry incorporates wind energy, marine, construction, transportation, and others. Of these, the marine industry is considered to gain significant prominence in the years to come. Glass fiber reinforced plastics are extensively used in the marine industry. Decks and ship hulls for sailing/motor yachts and powerboats are made up of premium quality glass fiber reinforced plastics. The use of fiber-reinforced plastics augments the use of gelcoat in the marine sector as the product helps to enhance the aesthetic quality of fiberglass, besides offering corrosion resistance to structural layered materials.
