Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The rapidly increasing demand for the product from the electronic industry due to its anticorrosive properties that makes it ideal for the electroplating of electronic and electrical equipment especially for coating electro-galvanized steel, copper, aluminum, and zinc. Hence, increase in the production and demand for variety of electronic products and equipment, is projected to increase the demand and growth of the market and likely to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the upcoming years.
Furthermore, the significantly escalating environmental concerns regarding the hexavalent chrome finishes, which has been widely used as a major component in aluminum chromate conversion parts. However, the plating types used in this process generates hazardous byproducts like barium sulfate and lead chromates that are heavily regulated by authorities including EPA because of its carcinogenic nature, that has created lucrative opportunities for the trivalent chromium finishing worldwide.

Plating segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The growth of the segment can be largely attributed to continuously rowing adoption and acceptance of the product in wide range of industries including automotive, appliance, and architecture among others. In addition, the increasing compliance in several government regulatory norms mainly in metal and non-metal finishing industries especially in developed countries of Europe region like UK, France, and Germany, are further anticipated to boost the market growth.
The conversion coatings segment is likely to grow significantly over the coming years, on account of increasing prevalence of product to be applied on metals for improving the corrosion resistance properties, promote the organic coating adhesion, and many others, They are also being widely utilized in various multistep process that includes cleaning of the metal for removing dirt, surface microstructures that might impede the coating formation, and organic contamination, which in result, propelling the demand extensively in the near future.
Decorative segment is anticipated to witness highest growth over the projection period
The decorative segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR during the anticipated period, which is mainly driven by rise in the popularity of decorative application among various end-use industries including appliances, architecture, and automotive. In addition, the decorative product application offers several types of shades that positively impact the product differentiation and also enhances the look of glossy components by making surface resistant to corrosion and glossy, are likely to have significant impact on the segment market.
The functional application segment led the industry market with maximum market share, which is highly attributable to increased penetration for these application around the world, as it provides the better resistance and protect the surface from dust and other types of particulate impurities along with the growing use of functional chromium in the refurbishment of worn-out components to increase the lifespan of the component.
Automotive segment held the significant market revenue share in 2022
Automotive segment held the significant market revenue share, on account of increased need for two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles that has fueled the demand for trivalent chrome plated component due to their ability to improve and enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle. In addition, the continuous development of the emerging economies like India, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia because of the rapid industrialization and improvements in infrastructure coupled with the rise in consumer spending capacity on automobiles are further likely to have a positive impact on the demand and growth of the segment market over the next coming years.
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2022
The Asia Pacific region dominated the global market and captured highest share in 2022, and is expected to maintain its dominance over the course of anticipated period. The regional market growth can be highly attributable to increased need and prevalence for hydraulic & heavy machinery across several industrial applications in the region because of the robust manufacturing sector in countries like China, Malaysia, and India. Moreover, the growing production capacity and number of vehicles produced in these countries along with high proliferation for automobiles will further stimulate the growth of the market.
According to a report published by OICA, China is the major producer of vehicles, manufactured over 21.4 Mn cars & 4.6 Mn commercial vehicles in 2021, for a total combined production of more than 26 Mn, which is far away from second largest manufacturer US with total production of 9.2 Mn vehicles.
Europe is projected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period. The presence of various type of regulatory mandates set by European Union and several other government bodies along with the emerging trend towards the compliance of regulatory norms and increased prevalence of productivity of metal and non-metal finishing operations in the region are among the primary factors influencing the market growth.
