COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Financial Uncertainties

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 hampered the single-component primer market by disrupting supply chains, halting production, and delaying construction and industrial projects. This caused reduced demand from major industries such as the automotive and construction sectors due to restricted movements and lockdowns. In addition, the pandemic brought about labor and other logistic challenges in manufacturing and distribution. Economic uncertainty was another cause of budgetary constraints, causing projects either to be delayed or cancelled, thus further depressing the market growth. Though the easing of restrictions and Industries resuming operations brought the market back to its tide, the first blow of the pandemic has brought out the vulnerabilities and provoked companies to rethink their strategy over supply chains and crisis management plans.

SINGLE-COMPONENT PRIMER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Matte, Semi-glossy, Highlight, Others.

• Matte: The types of single-component primers include matte primers, which give a non-glossy, flat finish. Matte primers are preferred because, to a great extent, they give superb hiding properties; they help in the production of a smooth, even base for subsequent coatings, thereby increasing the appearance and durability of the finish.

• Semi-glossy: Another single-component primer categorization is into semi-glossy primers. They have a sheen that would be considered moderate or somewhere in the middle between flat and shiny. Semi-glossy primers present a hard-wearing, easy-to-clean finish with medium reflectivity. They do well in areas that call for both a robust and beautiful finish, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

• Highlight: There are single-component primers or primers created to generally bring out brilliance and brightness in topcoats; they can then be called highlight primers. Such primers provide a highly reflective base, which really brings on the colors and finishes, making it suitable for applications in decorative and art works where one wants an energetic, catchy finish.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Automotive Industry, Construction Industry, Ocean and Ships, Others.

• Automotive Industry: The single-component primer market can be classified into the automotive industry. These primers are basically used in this sector for adhesion promotion, prevention of corrosion, and to aid topcoats' durability on automobiles. They become a key component of surface preparation, ensuring a smooth and long-lasting finish that guards  against environmental damages.

• Construction Industry: The single-component primer market can be broadly segmented by application into the construction industry. In this industry, primers are used to prepare and seal surfaces for painting and coating on walls, floors, and structures to avoid flaking and to ensure a stable base that lasts long with quality finishes. This comprises improved durability, resistance to water percolation, and tensile strength.

• Ocean and Ships: The single-component primer market finds segmentation, on the basis of application, into the ocean and ship industry. Primers play a vital role in the ocean and ship industry to protect the marine vessels from the strong impacts caused by saltwater and UV rays. They provide good adhesion and a strong base to topcoats for long life and performance to the coatings used on the hull, decks, and other marine structures.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Demand for Sustainable and Low-VOC Formulations to Propel the Market Growth

Some of the major drivers for The Single-Component Primer Market Growth include growing sustainable trends and more tightened environmental regulations.
