Scouting Material Science Innovation
I recently had several conversations with some extremely experienced technical scouts and investors who told me that the best source of new technology in their years of practice has been the startup community. For the CASE market (paints, coatings, sealants, and...
The State of the U.S. Paint and Coatings Market: More Reliable Supply Chain, Slight Decline in Volume
Although the paint and coatings market recovered in 2021 from a 2020 dip in volume, the real news is the dramatic increase in value that has resulted from the high cost of crude, decreasing (but not completely halted) global supply chain issues, remnant shortages, improved (but not back to pre-2020 levels) transportation/logistics issues, and labor shortages.
Marine Coatings: Striking a Balance in Biofouling Control
In 2022, marine coatings were an $8.7 billion market, with a growth projection of 5-7% through 2028. However, there is a lot more to marine coatings than great aesthetics. At approximately a 64% share, anti-fouling/fouling release coatings were the largest portion of the marine coating market, followed by anti-corrosion and self-cleaning/self-polishing coatings. In addition, marine coatings have special and specific functionalities to protect watercraft above and below the waterline. Finally, marine coatings are specially formulated to be easily cleaned.
2023 Raw Materials and Chemicals Overview for Adhesives
The manufacturing of adhesives and sealants relies on raw materials and chemicals (including some specialty chemicals) that hold a significant position within the vast chemical industry. While the U.S. chemical industry is facing challenges such as low demand, oversupply, and narrowing profit margins, numerous opportunities exist—particularly as companies increasingly focus on sustainability and circularity. Strategic decision making and investments in innovation will be crucial for long-term success in a changing landscape.
WEBINAR: Optimizing Plant Operations Including Design Considerations for Growth
