Water-borne coatings in the industrial sector

工业领域水性涂料的发展

Water-based coating systems are still in vogue and their share is constantly increasing. However, there are also areas of application, such as industrial maintenance and corrosion protection, in which the proportion is very low. Nevertheless, industry players expect further growth for water-borne paints.

水性涂料系统现在仍在流行,其份额也在不断增加,然而,在诸如工业维护和防腐等应用领域,水性涂料系统占比十分低;尽管如此,业内人士预估,水性涂料比例仍将进一步增长.

The demand for water-based paint systems has increased continuously over the last decades. The environmentally compatible systems have become more and more important due to regulatory requirements and the demand from end users. Especially in the segment of architectural coatings, the share of water-based systems is relatively high at over 85 %. In the industrial coatings segment, the share of water-based paints and coatings is less than 10%.

In the industrial maintenance and repair (IM) and corrosion protection (PC) segments, water-based coatings also play only a small role. The market research and consulting company Orr & Boss has taken a closer look at the market. Consultants Doug Bohn and Marten van der Meer estimate the global market size in volume at 2.14 billion litres and in value at EUR 13.2 billion. Water-based coatings and paints account for only 6 % of these segments - 135 million litres in volume and EUR 793 million in value.

在过去的几十年里，对水性涂料系统的需求不断增加。由于法规要求及终端用户的需求，涂料系统的环境兼容性变得越来越重要。特别是在建筑涂料领域，水性系统的份额相对较高，超过85%。然而在工业涂料领域，水性涂料的份额不足10%。

在工业维护维修(IM)和防腐(PC)领域，水性涂料所占份额也较小.市场研究和咨询公司Orr & Boss对市场进行了更深入的研究。咨询顾问Doug Bohn和Marten van der Meer估计，全球涂料市场容量为21.4亿升，价值为132亿欧元。而其中水性涂料销量1.35亿升，价值7.93亿欧元,仅占比6%。

Europe

From a regional perspective, Asia is the largest market for water-borne coatings in terms of the segment’s maintenance and repair and corrosion protection, although only in absolute terms. Orr & Boss calculated a volume of 1.52 billion litres worth EUR 8.3 billion for the entire IM and PC market. However, water-based systems only account for 5 % of the volume with 78 million litres and 4.7 % of the value (EUR 395 million).

In Europe, on the other hand, there is a significantly higher proportion of water-borne systems used in the area of maintenance and repair and corrosion protection. At 11.6 % by volume, the share is more than twice as high as in Asia. In terms of value, too, the share is twice as high and comes to almost 10 %.

欧洲方面:

从区域的角度来看，亚洲是水性涂料的最大市场,在工业维护维修(IM)以及防腐(PC)方面,尽管只从绝对值方面进行估算，Orr & Boss估计整个工业维护维修(IM)以及防腐(PC)方面的销量为15.2亿升，价值83亿欧元。然而，水性涂料系统仅为7800万升，价值为3.95亿欧元。分别只占总容积的5%,总价值的4.7%

另一方面，在欧洲，用于工业维护维修(IM)以及防腐(PC)方面的水性系统涂料比例明显更高。按销量计算，该市场份额为11.6%，是亚洲市场份额的两倍多。就价值而言，这一比例也高达两倍，接近10%。

For North America, Orr & Boss determined a similar picture of the market. There, the water-based alternatives also account for almost twice as much. Water-borne systems account for 10 % by volume and 9 % by value.

In the Middle East and Africa, water-borne systems for maintenance and repair and corrosion protection have a share of 6.5 % (volume) and 5.8 % (value). In South America, water-borne systems account for 4.6 % by volume and 3.9 % by value.

在北美市场，Orr & Boss也得出了类似的结论。水性涂料份额也占了亚洲几乎两倍的比例。以容量计，水性系统占10%，以价值计占9%。

在中东和非洲，用于工业维护维修(IM)以及防腐(PC)方面的水性涂料系统的份额分别为6.5%(容量)和5.8%(价值)。在南美洲，水系统的体积占4.6%，价值占3.9%。
