In 2021, Automotive Parts Segment is Expected to dominate the Global Anti-Friction Coatings Market

Low friction coatings improve performance and service life while minimizing the requirement for wet lubricants in working circumstances requiring resistance to heat, chemicals, or cleanroom conditions. Low-friction coatings reduce the likelihood of particles sticking to and being picked up from the counter surface, resulting in reduced cleaning time. As a result, anti-adhesive compounds may be used less frequently while developing tool programs. Low-friction coatings have been increasingly popular in recent years to improve surface qualities such wettability, corrosion resistance, adhesion, and wear resistance.   ​

Global anti-friction coatings market is expected to reach USD 1,569,387.00 thousand by 2028 from USD 894,725.60 thousand in 2020, with a CAGR of 7.9 % in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028. Because of its potential to improve surface qualities such as wettability, corrosion resistance, adhesion, and wear resistance, low-friction coatings have become increasingly popular in recent years. The expanding use of low-friction coatings in a range of industries is expected to fuel market expansion in the near future. In addition, makers of low-friction coatings are developing new solutions to fulfill the increased need for application-specific goods. As environmental restrictions on the use of lubricants tighten and disposal costs grow, low friction thin film coatings, which allow surfaces to rub against one another with less friction and wear, are becoming more popular.   

Growing demand in industrial applications will drive the market's growth rate

Anti-friction coatings are a type of lubricant solution that is similar in formulation to common industrial paints. It comprises of solid lubricants and resins as solvents. The main components of solid lubricants are molybdenum disulphide, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and graphite. These coatings are also used as dry lubricants in automotive industry. This is driving the growth of the market. Increased expenditure by public and private players on infrastructure development will also promote the market growth rate. Continuous research and development pertaining to the deployment of advanced technologies will yet again widen the scope of growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

During the COVID-19 epidemic, the market for anti-friction coatings was shaky. Anti-friction coatings have been used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, automotive, wind energy, construction, and others. Due to lower end-user demand, anti-friction coating production declined dramatically during the initial COVID-19 phase. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, automotive sales in China fell 11.9 percent year over year to 1.86 million units. Furthermore, oil and gas exploration and production industries are expected to lose $1 trillion in revenue by 2020. Wind energy installations in the countries have also decreased by 30% in 2020 compared to the previous year.
