The global thermal spray market has witnessed steady growth in recent years. The market is primarily driven by factors such as increasing demand from industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and energy. One of the key drivers of the global thermal spray market is the growing demand for coatings that offer enhanced protection and improved performance of components and machinery. Industries such as aerospace and automotive rely on thermal spray coatings to enhance the durability and performance of engine components, turbine blades, and other critical parts. The ability of thermal spray coatings to provide wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal insulation contributes to their widespread adoption. Moreover, the increasing need for energy-efficient solutions in various industries is boosting the demand for thermal spray coatings. These coatings can provide thermal barrier properties, reduce friction, and improve energy transfer efficiency in turbines, power generation equipment, and industrial machinery. The push for sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions is further driving the adoption of thermal spray coatings. However, the global thermal spray market also faces certain challenges. One of the major challenges is the high cost associated with thermal spray equipment and materials. The initial investment required for setting up thermal spray facilities and the cost of raw materials can be significant, limiting the adoption of thermal spray coatings, particularly in smaller companies or industries with budget constraints. Another challenge is the complexity of the thermal spray process and the need for skilled operators. Thermal spray coating techniques require expertise in selecting the right materials, optimising process parameters, and ensuring proper coating adhesion and quality. The shortage of skilled personnel can hinder the widespread adoption of thermal spray coatings and affect the quality of coatings produced. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations and concerns about the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from thermal spray processes pose challenges to the market. Efforts are being made to develop environmentally friendly thermal spray materials and processes to comply with regulations and reduce the environmental impact.
