Product Definition:
A defog coating is a transparent or translucent layer that is applied to a surface to reduce the amount of fog, mist, and condensation that forms on it. This type of coating is often used on eyeglasses, mirrors, windows, and other surfaces where visibility is important.
PVC:
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer, which can be processed by means of injection molding, extrusion and blow molding. It has high resistance to chemicals such as solvents, alcohols and dilute acids.
PET:
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a non-toxic, lightweight, safe & flexible material that can be recycled and reused. It has high resistance to chemicals & temperature and excellent strength. PET is widely used in food packaging applications such as bottles, jars, cans; automobile parts such as car bumpers; electronics such as television screens & computer monitor displays; textiles and construction materials among others.
Application Insights:
The demand for the global defog coat (DFC) has witnessed a paradigm shift due to rising awareness among consumers. The commercial freezer industry is growing significantly in developed economies such as Germany, U.K., and France owing to increasing demand for frozen food and alphabetic codes. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, thereby driving market growth during the study period.
Helmet visors and face shields were estimated as one of the prominent segments in 2017 owing to its usage in snow sports activities across Europe and North America regions where winters are cold but rainfall is relatively more frequent than summers which makes it suitable for snow sports activities.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for protective gear in countries, such as China and India. In addition, rising investments by various governments in developing countries are anticipated to boost product demand. For instance, according to a white paper on China's industrial policy published by the World Bank Group in 2015, foreign direct investment (FDI) increased from USD X billion between 2005 and 2007 to USD X billion between 2010 and 2014; an increase of more than 40%.
The growing automotive industry is also likely to have a positive impact on regional market growth over the next eight years. Europe was estimated as the second-largest region followed by North America with a share of more than 20% each in terms of revenue owing mainlyto high consumer awareness regarding personal safety coupled with stringent government regulations for manufacturing vehicles that comply with these standards is projecteded drive product demand across this region duringthe forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for energy-efficient and environment-friendly products: The global market for defog coating is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% from 2016 to 2020. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for energy-efficient and environment-friendly products across the globe.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using defog coatings: The growing awareness about the benefits of using defog coatings is another major factor that is expected to drive the global market during the forecast period. Some of these benefits include improved visibility, reduced fogging, and longer product life cycle.
- Growing demand from end-use industries: The rising demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics is another key factor that is anticipated to fuel the growth of this market in near future.
