MARKET ANALYSIS
Concrete floor coating is a process of adding a decorative and protective coating to concrete floors. The coating increases the floor's durability, aesthetics, and protection from damage. Several concrete floor coverings are available, each with unique features and advantages, including epoxy, polyurethane, poly aspartic, and acrylic coating. Concrete floor coatings are available in various shades, finishes, and patterns, transforming plain concrete into an attractive concrete and visually appealing surface, such as a high gloss finish, a matte look, or a decorative design. Concrete floor coatings are especially useful in commercial and retail spaces where aesthetics play a crucial role.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The market for concrete floor coatings is expected to be driven by its excellent protection and durability for concrete surfaces. Coating act as a protective layer that shields the concrete surface from damage caused by heavy traffic, chemicals, abrasion, and moisture in industrial and commercial settings where floors are subjected to high wear and tear. Safety is important in many situations, especially in commercial and industrial ones. Concrete floor coating can be created with chemicals that increase slide resistance, lowering the chance of accidents and offering a more secure flooring option.
However, raw materials used for concrete floor coating, such as resins, pigments, and additives, can be subject to significant price fluctuations. Due to this volatility, the manufacturer's profit margin may be impacted, and make it challenging to maintain stable pricing for customers. Concrete floor coating application demands skilled labour and expertise to achieve a proper bond, smooth finish, and long-lasting performance.

Governments worldwide are anticipated to fund infrastructure projects to promote economic growth and upgrade aging infrastructure. Concrete floor coating is essential for improving infrastructure's durability, appeal, and functionality. Infrastructure such as bridges, roads, airports, and commercial buildings. Environment-friendly construction methods and green building techniques are receiving more attention. Eco-friendly, and low VOC concrete floor coverings are likely to witness in demand.
IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The covid 19 pandemic has impacted various industries worldwide, including the concrete floor coating market. Due to the pandemic, there were delays in the delivery of raw materials needed for concrete floor coating and disturbances in the global supply chains. Transportation limitations, border restrictions, and lockdown protocols in several nations may have caused delays and shortages, which would have affected the entire manufacturing and distribution of concrete floor coating. To avoid spreading the virus, the government implemented restrictions on construction operations, which decreased the demand for concrete floor coverings.
Moreover, the recent economic recession that started in early 2022, had severely impacted the construction industry, as its one of the vital components of the global economy. The current recession coupled with ongoing political tensions worldwide may result in delays and cancellation of several construction projects. This would directly impact the concrete floor coatings market. This is due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, rising cost of materials and transportation, and shortage of skilled labor.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE AND KEY COMPANIES
Some of the key players operating in the concrete floor coating market include The Sherwin-Williams Company, Thermal-Chem Corporation, PPG Industries, Inc., APC Epoxy Super Store, Behr Process Corporation, Benjamin Moore And Co., Key Resin Company, Sumter Coating, Inc., Carboline, Florida Paints, BASF SE, Akzo Nobel N.V. among others.
