Market Definition
Soft-touch polyurethane coatings are a type of advanced coating made from polyurethane dispersions. These coatings provide a softer feel to the surface as well as improved scratch, heat, and chemical resistance. There are two types of coatings: solvent-based and water-based. Furthermore, these coatings are extremely robust and dry quickly. Soft-touch polyurethane coatings are commonly utilized on interior wood surfaces such as trim, furniture, and doors in automobiles and aero planes, as well as consumer electronic gadgets such as televisions, laptops, and mobile phones.
Soft Touch Polyurethane Coatings Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Surge in Aesthetic as well as Soft-touch products Trends
The market for soft touch polyurethane coatings is being propelled by the growing demand for soft-touch goods across a wide range of industries. This trend of aesthetics—color combination, tactile feeling, and sheen—is greatly praised in today's consumer markets, broadening the canvas for players in the soft touch polyurethane coatings business. Soft-touch coating methods, in essence, provide consumers with a rich tactile experience while also preventing hand slippage. The use of coating techniques to give plastics a more appealing appearance has boosted the use of soft touch polyurethane coatings in the industry. The quest for a coating technology that can endow plastic surfaces with a leather-like texture at a low cost is driving their acceptance.
- Increased Usage across Industries
Soft-touch polyurethane coatings are widely utilized in automobiles, and one of the primary causes driving the soft-touch polyurethane coatings industry growth is the packaging business. To lower chemical and abrasion resistance, soft-touch polyurethane coatings are utilized. Soft-touch coatings' flexibility and drag may also prevent part slippage and offer a matte finish, making them excellent for numerous end-use industries such as electrical and electronics, automotive, and packaging, which is boosting the soft-touch polyurethane coatings market.
Additionally, the soft-touch polyurethane coatings are becoming increasingly popular in the electronics industry due to their great durability and good resistance to weathering and UV radiation. The expansion of the automotive industry along with the increase in defense budgets are other market growth determinants which are projected to bolster the growth of the market.
Opportunities
- Implementation of Regulations
The implementation of strict restrictions for furniture finishing products that contain volatile organic compounds would have a favorable impact on market growth. The soft touch PU coatings are environmentally safe and sustainable because they do not emit any VOCs and are formaldehyde free. This will contribute to the soft touch PU coatings market's revenue growth and will open up new opportunities for players in the soft touch polyurethane coatings market in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
- Surge in Investments
Additionally, the growing investments for various research and development activities will further expand the future growth of the soft touch polyurethane coatings market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Lack Of Awareness
Over the projected period, a lack of understanding about the benefits of soft touch PU coatings among developing industrial producers is expected to limit market expansion.
- Availability of Masterbatches
Furthermore, master batches give uniform color and eliminate the need for further coating and running costs. Masterbatches are most commonly utilized as a polyurethane alternative in interior furnishings and automotive interior parts. It is a better polyurethane because it allows for better coating penetration on complicated shapes for both indoor and outdoor applications. As a result, master batch’s long-term benefits are likely to limit the expansion of the soft-touch polyurethane coatings market. This factor will challenge the soft touch polyurethane coatings market growth rate.
