North America, of them, powered by the U.S., currently leads the market in terms of volume. A well developed electronics and telecommunication industry and the swiftly recovering construction sector in the region is fueling its market majorly.
Flourishing Electronics and Telecommunication Industry Propels Market
The exploding electronics and telecommunication industry worldwide is at the forefront of driving growth in the global market for superhydrophobic coatings. Superhydrophobic coatings find widespread usage in the electronics and telecommunications since they are heat resistant and are easily applied on the surface. They are useful in shielding sensitive electronic parts which can be easily damaged by water. Adds the lead analyst of our report, The growing demand for water-resistant electronic products is expected to expand further in the next couple of years on the back of rising disposable incomes of people and the resultant want of superior and durable products, thereby supporting surging sales in the superhydrophobic coatings market.
Construction Industry Emerges another Major Growth Driver
Another factor stoking stellar growth in the global market for superhydrophobic coatings is the booming construction industry which has exponentially driven up demand for composite materials. Besides, superhydrophobic coatings also provide excellent resistance to high temperature, alongside robust barriers against microbes and water.
However, strict government rules with regard to coating ingredients and formulations in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific is likely to impact the superhydrophobic coatings market negatively in the near future.
