PLATING EQUIPMENT MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global plating equipment market size was USD 0.86 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 1.24 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

All machinery and components used to coat plastic or metal objects are considered plating equipment. This equipment is suitable for gold plating, electroplating, chrome finishing, and anodizing. The plating process is used to change an object's aesthetic and functional properties. It is used in a wide range of industries, including jeweler, automotive, and manufacturing. Barrels and tanks are common pieces of equipment. In some cases, these barrels may be made of PVC, polyethylene, or even stainless steel.

Plating vessels may also include open racks where objects are laid out as they are coated with metals or minerals. It may also include the chemicals and additives used during plating, depending on the type of plating process used. Electroplating, for example, necessitates the use of electrolyte solutions, whereas anodizing may necessitate the use of specialized chemicals such as copper acetate. Other additives aid in ensuring that an object receives an even coating or that the coating has the desired finish and thickness. Lacquer and wax are used as stop-offs to protect areas that are not intended to be plated.

It can also refer to highly specialized machinery and assembly lines that aid in the automation of the plating process. Belts and other transport systems may be used to transport raw materials through a plating unit and beyond for drying and finishing. Commercial plating lines frequently include a variety of equipment that is linked together to maximize capacity and meet production targets.
