High Usage of Polyester Gelcoat Drives the Global Gelcoat Market

Various wind energy and aerospace retailers increasingly demand gelcoats for better fire resistance and U.V. rays. As a result, manufacturers are investing considerably in the growth and development of the gelcoats market. Furth more, polyester is anticipated to be the fastest-growing resin segment because of the variety of characteristics of polyester resins. Polyester resins are less expensive and possess temperature tolerance, fast curing, durability, low thermal expansion, and good corrosion resistance.

Data Bridge Market Research shows that the Gelcoat Market accounted for USD 1,403.80 million in 2022 and is expected to reach 2,756.37 million by 2030. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 8.80% from 2023 to 2030.

"Growing demand for gelcoat from automotive and transportation industry is expected to drive the market growth"

Increasing demand for gelcoat from the automotive and transportation industry is expected to propel the gelcoat market's growth from 2023 to 2030. The transportation and automotive sector cover the major share of the overall market of gelcoat. To comply with government rules and guidelines and surge vehicle fuel efficiency, automakers are highly focusing on manufacturing lightweight vehicles with composites to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which harmfully impact the global climate. Hence, gelcoats are used to improve and maintain the aesthetic appeal of these composite components and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Therefore, rising demand for gelcoat from the automotive and transportation industries is expected to boost the market growth rate.

What restraints the growth of the gelcoat market?

"Stringent government rules and regulations for gelcoat manufacturers"

Styrene is the highly used monomer of polyester resin-based gelcoats. The high usage of styrene has been a major worry for workers' health and safety. This makes the growth of the gelcoat market very difficult. Various countries' governments have imposed strict regulations to reduce styrene emissions from gelcoats. This is eventually reducing the growth of the gelcoat market during the forecast period. This is a major factor that is likely to obstruct market growth in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.
