Wind Power Coatings Market: Introduction
·
The global wind power coatings market was
valued at US$ 798 Mn in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a
CAGR of approximately ~10% during the forecast period
·
The
global wind power coatings market is driven by the increase in investments in
offshore wind power generation
·
Asia
Pacific accounts for a major share of the global wind power coatings market,
led by the rise in focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the region
Key Drivers of Wind Power Coatings Market
·
Increase
in greenhouse gas emissions is a major cause of global warming. Thermal power
generation accounts for a prominent share of the global CO2 Severe impact of
environmental degradation has fueled global interest in wind power renewable
energy, as it is environment-friendly.
·
Awareness
about environment is increasing. Governments across the globe are striving to
decrease carbon emissions. For instance, the Government of India plans to
increase its wind power capacity to 60 GW by 2022. China aims
to have 210 GW of grid-connected wind energy capacity by the
end of 2020. In 2018, China led the total global wind power capacity with
around 187 GW, followed by 89 GW generated by the
U.S., and 56 GW generated by Germany.
·
The U.S.,
Germany, and Denmark are also striving to increase their wind power capacity.
In 2018, the U.S. started commercial operation of its first offshore wind farm,
The Block Island wind farm, which was completed at a total cost of US$ 290 Mn.
·
Demand
for long lasting and maintenance-free systems is high in the wind energy
industry. Thus, demand for long-lasting coatings for rotor blades has been
increasing. Wind power plants work at high speeds; hence, they require
specialized and robust paint systems. This is expected to significantly
increase the service life of blades. Thus, governmental plans to promote wind
energy are anticipated to drive the wind power coatings market.

High Demand for Wind Power Coatings in Offshore
Application
·
Power
generation from offshore wind energy has emerged as a promising alternative for
various countries to expand their portfolio of renewable energy and provide an
impetus to transform the future of sustainable energy. In offshore wind power,
blades erode rapidly due to rain and harsh weather. Therefore, demand for wind
power coatings has been rising in offshore wind power generation.
·
Globally,
investments in offshore wind power development are expected to rise
substantially in the next few years. Europe leads in terms of investments in
development of the wind power industry. According to WindEurope, Europe
invested US$ 8.7 Bn in the development of offshore wind power
in 2018. Countries in Europe such as the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy have
invested significantly in the development of offshore wind power.

Difficulties Countered During Coating Process to
Hamper Market
·
Blades of
wind mills are exposed to severe humidity due to salinity, intensive exposure
to UV light, wave actions, and presence of splash zone areas. This causes high
corrosive stress, leading to rapid corrosion of wind blades. Blades need to be
coated, as pitting can roughen their surface to create imbalance in rotating
blades. This can decrease turbine efficiency and augment maintenance costs.
·
Painting
of turbines and blades is considerably expensive, owing to heavy equipment
needed to access the blades, which are 130-170 meters long in
case of large wind farms. Painting offshore is more expensive vis-à-vis
painting onshore, due to various factors such as logistics of getting men and
materials at job sites and limited access to structures created by offshore
weather conditions. Wind mills are located in areas that experience strong
winds. Coating of blades at offshore locations requires skilled labor. Thus,
difficulties in application of coatings on blades is estimated to hamper the
wind power coatings market in the near future.

Asia Pacific a Leading Consumer of Wind Power
Coatings
·
Asia
Pacific is a leading consumer of wind power coatings. China is the prominent
producer and consumer of wind power coatings in the region. Asia Pacific is
expected to lead the global wind power coatings market, in terms of volume and
value, during the forecast period.

High Degree of Competition in Global Market
The global wind power coatings market is oligopolistic. A small number
of large- and medium-sized players operate in the global wind power coatings
market. The top three players - Hempel Fonden, PPG Industries, Inc., and
Teknos Group Oy - accounted for collective share of approximately 77% of
the global wind power coatings market in 2018. Among these, Hampel Fonden held
a major share of the wind power coatings market in 2018. The company has a wide
distribution network and operates across all major regions. Hampel Fonden
focuses on developing new wind power coatings solutions.
