Gelcoat Market Set to Witness Explosive Growth by 2030
According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global gelcoat market size is expected to grow from USD 1,401.0 million in 2022 to USD 5,014.5 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2023 to 2033.
Several firms in the aerospace and wind energy industries have showed interest in gelcoats with increased UV and fire protection. As these elements are the primary determinants of a product’s lifespan, manufacturers of gelcoats have invested extensively in the creation of gelcoats that include additives that provide qualities such as fire resistance. These gelcoats effectively prevent UV radiation and accidental fire damage to the coated components, resulting in increased product durability. With these end-use industries predicted to grow rapidly in the foreseeable future, demand for gelcoats is expected to rise as well.
The global market is also expected to grow due to rising advances in the coatings sector. Due to increased industrialization, which boosts demand for gelcoat, the goods are frequently employed in the marine industry. Furthermore, increased trading via sea transport is likely to enhance market expansion. The coatings are also utilized on car parts to improve fuel efficiency and make them lighter. These coatings are osmosis, water, chemical, UV, impact, and damage resistant. It improves mechanical properties while lowering surface porosity. It improves the appearance of the surface by adding high-quality finishing and gloss.

Global Gelcoat Market Dynamics
Drivers: Increasing Demand from The Automotive & Transportation Industry to Drive The Demand for Composites
Surface protection is required because composite components are subjected to harsh environmental impacts, such as their application in automotive and transportation. This is either applied as a gel coat to the composite material or applied as an in-mold gelcoat before the composite material is molded. In the automotive industry, fiberglass composite is widely employed as an alternative for aluminum and steel in the production of lightweight vehicles. Gel coating may cure severe oxidation damage for a fraction of the expense of a new paint job. Although gel coating is a resin layer that is part of the body and maybe rubbed and polished. The cost of restoring the gel coat is substantially less than the cost of a new paint.
Further, the automotive and transportation industry agrees to follow strict requirements imposed by the US and European governments, such as the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards and the European Emission Standards (EES). To comply with government laws and improve vehicle fuel efficiency, automakers in these regions are focusing on developing lightweight vehicles with composites to minimize CO2 emissions, which have a negative impact on the global climate. Gelcoats are used to protect and enhance the appearance of these composite components.
