COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the following setbacks to this market such as disruptions in the supply chain resulted in a scarcity of raw materials, resulting in production being cut back and high costs incurred by manufacturers. Furthermore, other store closures and the imposition of measures that affected the operations of non-essential businesses also constrained consumers’ access to these products, thereby lowering demand. The overall commercial and industrial construction and renovation slowed down, subsequently painting and striping products’ demand also declined, severely affecting suppliers and distributors. 

LATEST TRENDS

"Eco-Friendliness to Propel the Market Growth"

It should be noted that in today’s world, especially in this market, such factors as sustainability and eco-friendliness have become trends as the market demands more effective paint stripping with less hazardous effects on the environment.

CAUSTIC PAINT AND COATING STRIPPER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Oily & Paste

• Oily: Uses petroleum-based solvents as a means of penetration and subsequent removal of the rust. Suitable to be used for professional stripping on different surfaces, including metal and concrete. Regarded as a fast and efficient tool in the removal of paints. 
• Paste: Developed in a gel-type formula, so it applies easily and adheres to vertical surfaces. Ideal for paint stripping on wooden furniture, delicate furniture, and other tough-to-reach spaces. Has a longer contact time that is useful for stripping off several layers of paint or other coats in a single duration. 

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Building Renovation, Vehicle Maintenance, Industrial Repair, Furniture Refinishing & Other

• Building Renovation: The primary function lies in the application for stripping off previous coats of paint and other finishes on walls, ceilings, doors, and other architectural features. It helps to begin renovation work at a fresh start, where the application of new surface finishes becomes easier. 
• Vehicle Maintenance: Used in automotive workshops and garages for the removal of paint and coatings from automobile surfaces. It is useful in preparing cars, trucks, and other vehicles for a new coat of paint or to undergo body repairs. 
• Industrial Repair: Used mostly at manufacturing facilities and industries for maintenance and repair purposes. In cases where it is used for its intended purpose, it effaces coatings and residues on machinery, equipment, and metal. 
• Furniture Refinishing: Uses include furniture builders and restorers who depend on it so as to remove old finishes from wooden surfaces. Allows the reconditioning and recoating of antique furniture and newly fashion furniture pieces. 

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Demand for Renovation and Remodelling To Drive The Market Growth"

One of the key driving factors of Caustic Paint and Coating Stripper Market growth is Increasing Demand for Renovation and Remodelling. The increasing number of renovation and remodelling activities in residential, commercial, and industrial segments is thus instrumental in the rising use of paint and coating trippers. When people choose their houses or apartments and decide to change something, paint and coatings are among the first things to be removed quickly; thus, caustic strippers are one of the significant tools in renovation works. 

"Advancements in Formulations and Technology to Advance the Market"

Ongoing changes in formulations and technology are the key reason why new developments are being recorded in the paint stripping business. Chemists are coming up with formulas that work better and are non-hazardous to human beings and other living creatures. These advancements are low-odour, biodegradable, on-toxic strippers, and gel-based formulations that have good application.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Usage Of Dangerous Chemicals To Create Hindrance In The Market Growth"

Another strong limiting factor of the market is the growing tendency to impose restrictions on the usage of dangerous chemicals in the production of caustic paint and coating strippers. Ministries responsible for regulating the use of chemicals that are used in industries and enforcing the composition of paint strikers work hard to ensure that industrial users stick to certain standards due to health and environmental hazards associated with the chemicals used in paint strikers. Meeting these regulations sometimes entails repositioning a product or researching other, non-hazardous product components that may add to the costs while reducing product efficiency.
