The domestic powder coating industry is poised for rapid growth in 2026.
According to the latest industry report, domestic demand for powder coatings reached 2.56 million tons in 2025 and is projected to climb to 2.666 million tons in 2026. By the end of the third quarter of 2025, the market size had already exceeded 4.8 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 17.3%. Industrial applications accounted for a significant 62% of this growth, demonstrating strong industry momentum. Data shows that between 2023 and 2025, over 12,000 "paint-to-powder" projects were implemented in the domestic industrial coating sector.
This has driven the powder coating market to maintain a double-digit annual growth rate, propelling the industry into a period of rapid growth. Green, functional, and digital technologies have become core development trends. Driven by both the "dual-carbon" strategy and environmental policies, powder coatings, with their advantages of zero VOC emissions and 100% utilization rate, are rapidly seizing market share from traditional solvent-based coatings. The country will continue to pursue a development path of technological iteration and explosive demand growth, and this era will also see breakthroughs in core technologies such as low-temperature curing and nano-coatings.
On the technological front, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in low-temperature curing technology, with curing temperatures reduced to 120-140℃ and energy consumption decreased by over 30%, leading to rapid adoption in the home appliance and furniture sectors. Types of Powder Coatings, primarily high-end products such as nano-coatings and intelligent responsive coatings, are constantly emerging and are widely used in automotive parts (vehicle powder coating), 3C electronics, and new energy fields, breaking the foreign monopoly in the high-end market. In terms of market demand, Powder Coating Weather Resistance is experiencing significant growth in demand from areas such as new energy vehicle battery pack corrosion protection, high-end home appliance coatings, and building window and door decoration (weather-resistant building materials), with emerging sectors showing growth rates exceeding 15%. Industry experts predict that the domestic powder coating industry will maintain an average annual compound growth rate of 8%-10% over the next decade, becoming a "green engine" for the high-quality development of the coating industry.
