Global Ceramic Coatings Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Ceramic Coatings Market size is set to increase from USD 11.94 billion to USD 31.7 billion, registering a CAGR of around 7.8% during the forecast period, from 2025 through 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of liposuction surgery devices is assessed at USD 12.69 billion.
The growth of the market can be ascribed to the rising production of cars globally. Consumers are looking for eco-friendly and durable ceramic coating solutions for car surfaces. Applying ceramic coating to cars is the best way to protect the surface from dirt, UV rays, bird droppings, weathering, oxidation, etc. Car owners are enhancing the aesthetics of vehicles with personalization using ceramic coatings, offering superior protection. European Automobile Manufacturer’s Association published a report in 2023 stating 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally. These factors make the ceramic coating a preferable choice among customers, bolstering the market expansion.
Additionally, ceramic coating is widely used to protect steel pipes. According to the American Galvanizers Association, 85% of all steel produced is carbon steel, which is susceptible to galvanic corrosion and natural oxidation. In fact, in North America, the cost of pipeline corrosion is almost USD 9 billion per year, which is usually made up of carbon steel. Ceramic coating on metals has proved to enhance the functional properties of metal and protect against oxidation.
Ceramic Coatings Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising demand from the aviation industry: To protect the aircraft from damage and enhance its appearance, ceramic coatings are used on the plane's surface. These coating applications are used for the exterior of aircraft components such as planes' fuselages or wings to provide a smooth and aeroponic finish. In addition, these paint agents can also be used in aircraft engines to improve performance and reduce fuel consumption. According to Air Transport Action Group in 2023, 35.3 million scheduled commercial flights took place globally. As the aviation industry is expanding, market players are putting efforts to protect against environmental damage.
- Increasing usage in the healthcare industry: In the healthcare industry, ceramic coatings are excellent for providing coating against corrosion in medical devices. The coating reduces the cytotoxicity and mechanical deterioration. Ceramic coating provides increased corrosion resistance and withstand the chemical reaction. These paints facilitate the reduction of tissue adherence for various surgery ablators, such as blades, knives, and so on, enabling surgeons to achieve better-cutting accuracy and a simpler device cleaning process. According to The Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), in 2022, medical instruments were the world’s 17th most traded product with a total of USD 157 billion.
- Surge in installation of solar panels: A large use of ceramic paint is used for conductive coatings made in solar panel production. Ceramic coatings protect from mineral damage and discoloration of the glass. In addition, these coatings protect solar mirrors and enable them to withstand extreme temperatures. Solar panels witness faster corrosion which reduces their quality and shortens life. According to Solar Power Europe, global solar installation doubled in 2023, surging by 87% from last year.
Challenges
- Hefty cost of coating: The high price of ceramic coating as well as the significant time required to apply it effectively on certain surfaces are some primary causes for its high cost. Consequently, this factor is estimated to hamper growth in the market over the next few years.
- Rising health concerns: Some of the coating formulations contain toxic additives and bad chemicals that pose risks to the health and safety of the consumers owing to the adoption in the case of long exposure.

Ceramic Coatings Segmentation
Application (Automotive & Transportation, Energy, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial Goods, Healthcare)
The automotive and transportation segment is anticipated to hold a 32% share of the global ceramic coatings market. Ceramic coatings provide longevity, UV protection, and hydrophobic properties to vehicles. Corrosion raises the cost of maintaining a vehicle and leads to reduced reliability, depreciation, premature repair, and safety issues. Corrosion and rust can remarkably shorten the lifespan of the vehicle. According to the World Corrosion Organization, the annual cost of corrosion globally is around USD 2.2 trillion. Applying ceramic coating is an efficacious method for preventing losses due to corrosion.
Technology (Thermal Spray, Physical Vapor Deposition, Chemical Vapor Deposition)
The thermal spray segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 50% by the year. Spray paints are user-friendly and provide a uniform finish without visible streaks or marks of brush. Ceramic spray coating delivers chemical resistance, maximum protection, and ultra-superior gloss. For instance, Foxcare Ceramic Coating Preparation launched a high-quality ceramic spray for automotive applications. The spray is easy to use and effectively removes contaminants, residue, and oils.
