The COVID-19 outbreak has restricted the market growth for cellulosic flame protection intumescent coatings. The construction industry has been impacted by operational challenges, disruption of supply chain, delayed installations, deferred maintenance, and workforce impairment. Manufacturing activities have been halted due to various government regulations across the globe. The market is expected to gain traction post-COVID-19 driven by supportive government regulations, favorable safety regulations, and the development of energy-efficient and intelligent buildings.
Growth Drivers
The increasing use of these solutions in residential and commercial buildings, growing investment in the construction industry, and development of public infrastructure are factors driving the growth of the market. Increasing safety concerns and the introduction of stringent building regulations have resulted in greater demand for cellulosic protection intumescent coatings. Technological advancements associated with material and coating, and rising investments in R&D have increased the application of cellulosic protection intumescent coatings. The rise in industrialization and urbanization across the globe, increasing disposable income, and improving living standards have strengthened the construction sector in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India.
Cellulosic protection intumescent coatings enhance the flame resistance of building structures, delaying damage, and prolonging rescue operation time. In contact with the flames, these solutions increase their volume to form a layer of char with protective and insulating properties on the metal. This leads to a rise in steel temperature, thereby maintaining the load capacity of the structure. Market players are developing new innovative products to cater to growing consumer demands.
In May 2021, Hempel introduced its new product, Hempafire Pro 400, a new passive flames protection coating. The new product aims to provide safety and maintain the stability of steel structures against fire for up to 120 minutes. These solutions offer low loadings to improve efficiency. They provide insulation to steel during a fire, thereby strengthening its load-bearing capacity to provide time for emergency response.
