Architectural metal coatings are used in the building and construction sector in applications such as cladding, roofing, wall panels, and doors and windows. These solutions offer flexibility and durability. These solutions offer protection from corrosion, UV, and extreme weather conditions. They also offer high chemical and solvent resistance, and high performance, while being environmentally friendly and suitable for human health.
There has been a greater demand for sustainable architectural metal coatings with enhanced durability and varied color options. Architects are increasingly opting for innovative coil and extrusion finishes for durability, longevity, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance. Rise in the adoption of green building codes and standards and introduction of other initiatives to reduce environmental degradation support the market growth. The rising adoption of energy-efficient buildings, greater need to decrease energy costs, and the use of less toxic materials contribute to the growth of the architectural metal coating market.
Coil-coated products are widely used in wall panels, fascia, and roofing. Extrusion solutions are factory-applied and involve cleaning and pretreating aluminum-preformed extrusions, followed by a spray process, and concluded with thermally curing. Extrusion products include storefronts, skylight, window, canopies, and curtain wall panel systems. Extrusion solutions are applied after the development of products, whereas coil coatings are applied before the products are formed.
The COVID-19 outbreak has restricted the growth of the architectural metal coating market. A decline in construction activities due to lockdown implementation and workforce impairment negatively affected the market growth. Delay in construction projects, limited availability of raw materials, and operational challenges were observed worldwide during the pandemic. Construction activities were halted to contain the spread of the virus and follow social distancing protocols.
Restrictions on the movement of goods affected the ability of the market players to acquire raw materials and distribute final products to the consumers. However, with the ease in lockdown implementation and growth in economy, the global architectural metal coating market is expected to experience growth owing to an increase in construction activities and the development of public infrastructure.
