Lucintel identifies and prioritizes global packaging coatings industry by substrate type, formulation type, resin type, and region

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global packaging coatings industry looks good with increasing demand of metal packaging. The global packaging coatings industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2015 to 2020. The major growth drivers for this market are increasing applications of packaging coatings in different end-markets and increasing use of packaged products.

Major applications of coatings are in metal, plastic, glass, and paper packaging. Lucintel predicts that metal packaging coating is expected to remain the largest segment with highest growth rate during the forecast period due to its continuous increasing demand for metal food and beverage cans.

Within the packaging coating industry, by formulation type, water-based coatings are expected to remain the largest segment by value. Epoxy coating is expected to remain the largest segment in the packaging coating by resin type.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness highest growth and will remain the largest market due to increase in consumption of packaged goods in China and India.

For market expansion, the report suggests innovation and new product development to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC), to improve the recyclability of the packaging materials, and to maintain flavor neutrality. The report further suggests development of partnerships with customers to create win-win situations and the development of low-cost solutions for end users.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include adoption of non-BPA (Bisphenol-A) coatings in metal packaging, edible coating in food packaging, and development of bio-based coatings in metal packaging. Valspar Corporation, PPG Industries, AkzoNobel NV, Altana AG, and W.R Grace & Company are some of the major suppliers of packaging coatings.
