MARKET ANALYSIS

The Middle East anticorrosion coatings market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for corrosion protection in various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, water and wastewater treatment, and marine. Corrosion is a major concern in the region due to the harsh environmental conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and exposure to saltwater. The oil and gas industry is one of the major drivers of the anticorrosion coatings market in the Middle East. The region is home to some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world, and the infrastructure required for exploration, production, refining, and transportation of oil and gas is prone to corrosion. Anticorrosion coatings are used to protect pipelines, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and other equipment from corrosion, thereby extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs. According to the National Iranian Oil Company, the country has ~158 billion barrels of crude oil reserves. According to data from Gachsaran Oil & Gas Production Company, the field, which has been in operation since 1930, currently produces 650,000 bpd (Barrel Per Day) of oil. Additionally, the Middle East anticorrosion coatings market size is likely to surge by 2030 owing to the growing demand for anticorrosion coatings from the automotive industry.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Factors such as the strong presence of the oil and gas industry and the strong growth of the building & construction industry favor the Middle East anticorrosion coatings market growth. The Middle East region is experiencing rapid industrialization, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and water and wastewater treatment. This increased industrial activity requires effective corrosion protection to ensure the longevity and reliability of infrastructure and equipment. Anticorrosion coatings are crucial in these industries to protect assets such as pipelines, storage tanks, reactors, and power plant components from corrosion caused by harsh environmental conditions, chemicals, and saltwater exposure.

In the oil and gas industry, for example, pipelines are subjected to corrosive substances such as crude oil, natural gas, and saltwater during transportation. Anticorrosion coatings are applied to these pipelines to prevent corrosion, maintain the integrity of the infrastructure, and ensure safe and efficient operations. Further, the Middle East is known for its extreme weather conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and exposure to saltwater. These conditions accelerate the corrosion process, making effective anticorrosion coatings essential for protecting assets and minimizing maintenance costs. Additionally, the Middle East's proximity to the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea exposes infrastructure and equipment to high levels of saltwater, which is highly corrosive. Without proper protection, assets such as pipelines, storage tanks, and power plant components can quickly deteriorate, leading to costly repairs or replacements.

Contributions and market initiatives of the RPM International Inc, The Sherwin-Williams Co, Akzo Nobel NV in Middle East are positively influencing the anticorrosion coatings market growth. However, there are various health and safety concerns regarding the anticorrosion coatings. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in anticorrosion coatings and paints. Their high vapor pressure allows molecules to evaporate into the surrounding air. As a result, humans in close proximity can inhale hazardous vapors or gases. Hazardous air pollutants, which can cause cancer and other serious health problems, are released into the atmosphere at the rate of millions of pounds per year, as per the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxic Release Inventory.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Middle East anticorrosion coatings market is segmented on the basis of resin type, technology, and end use. Based on resin type, the market is segmented into epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, alkyd, vinyl ester, and others. The epoxy segment accounted for the largest Middle East anticorrosion coatings market share in 2022. Epoxy anticorrosion coatings, formulated with epoxy resins as their primary constituents, belong to the class of thermosetting polymers, imparting robustness and durability to the protective layer they create. Deployed across diverse industries such as oil & gas, maritime, automotive, and infrastructure, epoxy anticorrosion coatings serve as a frontline defense mechanism for metal surfaces. The application process involves the precise amalgamation of epoxy resins with curing agents, resulting in a chemically resistant and adhesive compound. Upon application, these coatings solidify into a tough, impermeable barrier that shields metal surfaces from corrosive agents, preventing oxidation and deterioration over extended periods.

Based on technology, the anticorrosion coatings market is segmented into solvent-borne, water-borne, and others. Solvent-borne anticorrosion coatings are sophisticated formulations engineered to provide robust protection against the detrimental effects of corrosion, particularly on metallic surfaces. These coatings employ organic solvents as carriers for a meticulously crafted blend of components, each contributing to the coating's effectiveness. The primary constituents include resins, which form the structural backbone of the coating; pigments that impart color and additional barrier properties; and corrosion inhibitors strategically integrated to thwart the corrosive process. The solvent component plays a pivotal role in the application process, allowing for ease of spreading and ensuring uniform coverage on the substrate. Upon application, the solvents facilitate the even distribution of the coating, penetrating surface irregularities and creating a seamless, protective film.

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into marine, oil and gas, power, automotive, building and construction, aerospace and defense, and others. The oil and gas segment accounted for the largest Middle East anticorrosion coatings market share in 2022. The utilization of anticorrosion coatings in the marine industry is imperative for preserving the structural integrity and longevity of vessels and marine structures subjected to harsh and corrosive marine environments.

Seawater, with its high salt content, poses a significant threat to metal components, making corrosion a pervasive challenge. To overcome this, anticorrosion coatings are applied to these components. These coatings are precisely formulated to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater, moisture, and atmospheric conditions. In marine applications, anticorrosion coatings find extensive use on ship hulls, offshore platforms, pipelines, and other submerged or exposed metallic structures. The coatings act as protective barriers, preventing direct contact between corrosive elements and the metal surface. The implementation of anticorrosion coatings in the oil & gas industry is critical for safeguarding infrastructure and equipment from the corrosive challenges posed by harsh operating environments. Pipelines, storage tanks, drilling equipment, and various components in the oil & gas sector are constantly exposed to corrosive elements such as moisture, corrosive gases, and chemicals.
