Agriculture, construction machinery and the automotive industry are among the main markets for powder coatings. Thanks to the excellent durability and corrosion resistance of powder coatings, powder coatings have become an ideal choice for coating in the agriculture, construction machinery and automotive industries.

Powder coating for a wide range of applications

As one of the countries with the largest production and sales of agricultural and engineering machinery in the world, agricultural and engineering machinery coatings have become an important part of China's coatings industry. In 2020, the consumption of major types of agricultural and engineering machinery coatings in the Chinese market was about 105,000 tons, with a consumption amount of about 1.75 billion yuan. Powder coatings have been maturely applied in the agricultural and engineering machinery industries. In agricultural and engineering machinery, powder coatings are mainly used on thin plates and small parts; in the automotive industry, they are mainly used in automotive parts, such as automobile engines, automobile chassis, wheels, filters, joysticks, reflectors, wipers and horns, etc.

The amount of powder coating increasing year by year

In recent years, under the guidance of environmental protection policies and clean production concepts, environmentally friendly coatings represented by powder coatings and water-based coatings have become the preferred coatings in the industry. Therefore, powder coatings have developed rapidly in the agricultural, engineering machinery and automotive industries. In 2023, the sales volume of powder coatings in the agricultural, engineering machinery and automotive industries was about 280,000 tons, an increase of 12% over 2020. From 2018 to 2023, the compound growth rate of powder coatings in the agricultural, engineering machinery and automotive fields was about 16.59%, showing a rapid growth trend.
