Intumescent coating creates a layer of protective substance which works by chemical reaction and forms an insulating layer on the surface. Intumescent coatings are commonly used and tested for protecting buildings and applied to structural membranes as an aesthetically fireproofing product. They are often referred as intumescent paint which are used in buildings as passive fire retardant measure.
Positive application outlook in construction, automotive, and oil & gas industries should drive intumescent coatings market share. Increasing investments from private and government sector to develop public infrastructure such as roads, railways and transportation modes is likely to boost construction spending. Intumescent coatings are used in stopping cellulosic fires which occur mostly in buildings. These coatings are applied on steel and timber surfaces in buildings to stop spread of fire for at least one hour.

Manufacturing operations in the intumescent coatings market were significantly hampered due to the complete shutdown of manufacturing units and factories in 2020 due to COVID-19. As the supply of raw materials was disrupted, the overall production of intumescent coating products was affected, further leading to increased production & product costs.
The shutdown and temporary closer of various end-use industries, owing to stringent lockdown rules such as stay-at-home orders and social distancing requirements, has also affected the intumescent coatings demand and supply.
Various regulation and standard specification for the quality, labelling, transportation, and storage of intumescent coating for efficient fire protection is anticipated to hinder the market growth at some extend. For instance, EN 16623 applies to reactive coatings intended for the fire protection of steel and other ferrous substrates used as structural elements. This European draft standard provides guidelines for the production, storage, application, maintenance, and repair of the reactive coating system as well as the final inspection of the plant that may restricts its market growth.

Cellulosic application segment accounts for significant growth and is anticipated to reach over USD 765 million by 2028. Cellulosic intumescent coating has Class 1 fire rating and are applied on timber surfaces to retard the fire. These coatings are applied as they can control the spread of fire in houses and buildings.
Increase in decorative furniture and interior designing in buildings owing to change in lifestyle and rise in disposable income is anticipated to drive cellulosic intumescent coating demand. Structural steel work is one of the leading materials in designing of global infrastructure projects such as airports, sports stadiums, shopping malls and multi-story office blocks which will fuel product demand for cellulosic application.
Construction end-use from intumescent coatings market exceeded USD 290 million in 2021 and is poised register over 7% CAGR through 2028. Intumescent coatings provide a beautiful finish that does not negotiate with shapes and designs created from the steel and allow for on-site & easy off- application during construction.
Increase in construction of buildings owing to rising government investments in infrastructure should propel overall market statistics. Additionally, stringent government regulations regarding fireproofing and fire safety across civil structures accompanied with growing residential and commercial projects mainly in India and China is anticipated to have positive influence on regional industry scenario.
Asia Pacific intumescent coatings market is anticipated to cross USD 590 million by 2028. Increasing growth in construction of commercial and residential structures in India, China, Japan, and Korea during the projected timeframe should drive the regional demand for fire proofing and other safety services.
Additionally, stringent government regulations implemented across the China, India, and other countries have made adoption of intumescent coating compulsory to reduce the burden of fire mortality will favor business growth. Expansion of oil & gas exploration activities in India and China along with emphasis on fire safety measures has increased demand for intumescent coating which will fuel product demand. Also, high demand for electric vehicles in China will further stimulate the regional market forecasts.
