Release Coatings Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Release Coatings Market is accounted for $295.0 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $518.8 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period. Release coatings are compounds that are applied to the back of pressure-sensitive adhesive goods, such as tapes and labels, to make it simpler for the adhesive to come off. Solventless, solvent-based, emulsion, heat-cure, and UV-cure Types of release coatings are only a few of the options available. In the fields of food, medicine, tyres for cars, and graphic arts, release coatings offer a variety of advantages. In applications like newspaper presses and conveyor belts with rollers, some coatings offer lubricity and slipperiness.

According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in Union Budget 2022-2023, INR 86,200.65 crore (US$11.28 billion) was allocated to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) with the aim of improving the country’s healthcare sectors along with its facilities, products and services.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand in the healthcare industry

Improved medical facilities are contributing to longer life expectancy. Release coating is useful for many medical applications, including packaging for pharmaceutical items and sterilisation equipment as well as analytical and surgical tools. Given their low friction characteristics and simplicity of insertion, implanted instruments benefit most from the release coating. As the need for healthcare facilities increases, the release coating market will be driven by the rising need for medical devices, instruments, and equipment.

Restraint:

Differences in release control

To increase the release force required to remove a label or transfer the adhesive from a release liner, control release polymers (CRPs) are frequently used in release coating for the tapes and label industries. A number of variables, including adhesive formulas, adhesive thickness, laminate storage conditions, handling of the liner, and partial curing, affect tight release control. Any of these elements may have a substantial impact on release control. Without the proper release control for the various substrates, the release coating may soften and crack easily, defeating the purpose of non-sticking and raising system costs.

Opportunity:

High usage of the labels in the packaging

The rise in product demand from label application has boosted the market share of release coating in the coating industry. Due to their physical representation, these labels are used in the consumer products and packaging sectors. Silicone labels are frequently chosen in the packaging sector to reveal information such as contact information, product specs, health and safety warnings, marketing branding, and pricing. As a result, the demand for release coating is increasing as a result of increased advertising for various brands in the consumer products sector.

Threat:

Stringent environmental regulations

Manufacturers have been forced to create products with low volatile organic compounds, high solid content, and less toxic biocides as a result of the increasingly strict environmental rules controlling the use of release coating. Environmental standards including REACH, Green Seal, SED, and BPD are strict and aim to reduce the use of HAPs and VOCs. The industries are switching to eco-friendly coatings as a result of these requirements. However, creating new items that adhere to these stringent rules is difficult.

Covid-19 Impact

A decrease in release coating usage from labels, tapes, food bakers, graphic films, and industrial applications was a result of COVID-19, which had an adverse effect on the market growth for release coatings. In the coatings market, this has led to a negative growth rate and a significant disruption of the supply chain. On the other hand, since silicone metal and methanol are the primary chemicals used in the production of coatings, changes in the price of crude oil had a greater impact on the coating market. Therefore, the market expansion during COVID-19 was impacted by all of these factors.

The non-silicone segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The non-silicone segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The non-silicone coating such as fluoropolymer offers remarkable chemical specifications to end-use applications as it provides a great resisting temperature range from 100°F to 500°F. The fluoropolymer is a better choice as a releasing agent due to its high tensile strength and great chemical stability. As a result, over the past few years, the segment's growth has accelerated considerably.

The hygiene segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hygiene segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to increasing penetration of hygiene products such as baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products in the developing countries. The market is anticipated to be driven by rising premium hygiene product usage in developed countries. The drivers influencing the hygiene application in the release coating market are raising consumer spending, rising consumer awareness, and the expansion of e-commerce.

Region with Largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing penetration of hygiene products. The expansion of the packaging sector is linked to market growth in the area. The packaging business is driven by the expanding pharmaceutical, retail, consumer goods, cosmetics, and home sectors in the area, and with it the label application, which commands the highest share of the APAC release coating market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to high per capita income and modern lifestyle. The demand for labels was further pushed by people's busy lifestyles and changes in how they consume food products, which opened up opportunities for the food and packaging businesses. A huge number of manufacturers also contribute to the region's strong presence in the beauty and personal care industry. The e-commerce sector has increased detachable tape and label consumption. The parcels are tracked and traced using these tapes and labels.
