Railcar coating is a protection layer applied on tank cars, boxcars, hoppers, and other transportation vehicles to protect the surface from moisture, corrosion, microbes, and other external factors. Railcars need to be protected from various external factors, as these carry flammable and other hazardous chemicals and substances. Therefore, vehicles are being coated with railcar coatings. Railcar coatings protect the surface of railcars from corrosion, moisture, and microbes. They helps in maintaining the vehicle. Railcars are large vehicles and require significant investment. Thus, it is necessary to maintain railcars.
Based upon
coating demand by railcar type, the market can be segmented into tanks car,
open hoppers, covered hoppers, boxcars, and others. The tanks car segment
accounted for the major share of almost 35% of the market in 2016. Tank cars
are used to transport liquid and gaseous commodities. The vehicle is not owned
by the railroad, instead is leased by private owners who use them to transport their
products. Tank cars are primarily used in North America and Europe. According
to the American Association of Railroads, currently, more than 380,000 railroad
tank cars are in service. Railcars are likely to wear and tear due to their
extensive usage. Weather changes also affect the surface of the railcars
leading to deterioration of the product type. Railcars should be protected and
taken care of just as vehicle carries highly flammable liquid and other
products that can be dangerous to life. The product surface is coated with
railcar coatings in order to protect the surface from external climate and wear
& tear. Coatings applied to the walls of various railcars are chemically
inert and are certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National
Science Foundation (NSF). Covered hoppers held the next key share of the market
followed by open hoppers. Boxcars accounted for low share of the railcar
coatings market. Demand and usage of boxcars are observed to be
decreasing in certain region as tank cars and covered hoppers are seen to
replace boxcars, due to which the maintenance of boxcars are observed to be
decreasing. Therefore, the boxcar segment accounts for low share of the railcar
coatings market.
