The spray system was worth over USD 3.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 5.6 billion by 2032. Continuous improvements in spray technologies, such as High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) and Plasma Spray, enhance the quality and efficiency of coatings. Industries require tailored coating solutions for specific applications, leading to increased demand for versatile spray systems that can accommodate various materials and processes. Expanding sectors like aerospace, automotive, and energy are driving the need for high-performance coatings, boosting the demand for advanced spray systems.
Based on surface type, the metals segment accounted for a market share of around 41% in 2023 and is projected to grow by 2032. The demand for thermal spray coatings using metals is primarily driven by their excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy increasingly require metal coatings to enhance component durability and performance. The ability to apply coatings like chromium, nickel, and tungsten carbide significantly extends the life of parts subjected to harsh environments, such as turbines and engine components.
Moreover, the trend towards refurbishing and repairing existing machinery rather than replacing it fuels the need for metal thermal spray solutions that can restore original specifications.
North America thermal spray equipment market size surpassed USD 3.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 5.4 billion by 2032. The U.S. and Canada have strong aerospace industries that utilize thermal spray coatings for lightweight, high-performance components. The focus on innovation and improving fuel efficiency drives demand.
The market in U.S. is set to grow at a CAGR of over 5.6% through 2032. Increasing production and repair activities in the automotive sector necessitate advanced thermal spray technologies for enhancing wear resistance and thermal management.
The German thermal spray equipment market maintained a considerable position in Europe. Increased investments in wind and solar energy applications boost the demand for thermal spray coatings that enhance the durability of components used in harsh environments.
China is supposed to grow at the highest rate of 6.6% in the region. As the aerospace and automotive industries expand in the region, the need for advanced coating technologies to enhance component performance becomes more critical.
