Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors Market size was over USD 888.85 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 2.09 trillion by 2037, growing at over 6.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of volatile corrosion inhibitors is evaluated at USD 988.19 billion.
The primary growth driver of the market is attributed to the expansion of the construction industry. The total output of the global construction industry is forecasted to increase steadily, reaching USD 17.5 trillion by 2030. As volatile corrosion inhibitors prevent rusting and corrosion, they are considered to be an ideal component for metals and irons used in the construction processes.
Volatile corrosion inhibitors are most useful when surface protective treatment appears ineffective. Thus, volatile corrosion inhibitors are heavily used in various end-use industries such as mining & metallurgy, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, and others where there is a high need for protecting the surface. Also, volatile corrosion inhibitors are useful in the water treatment sector for treating and recycling polluted water. Thus, reducing the gap between demand and supply for treated water is anticipated to expand the market size during the forecast period. In addition, the increasing urbanization in developing countries especially in countries such as China and India is expected to raise the utilization rate of volatile corrosion inhibitors in numerous end-use applications including power generation, chemical processing, and others which in turn is expected to impetus the growth of the market in the upcoming years. Also, rising investments and focus on research and development activities for introducing novel and advanced volatile corrosion inhibitors that can be used in numerous processes are projected to create a positive outlook for market growth in the analysis period.

End-user (Mining & Metallurgy, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Aerospace, Electronics)
The global volatile corrosion inhibitors market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-use industry into mining & metallurgy, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and others. Out of these, the oil & gas segment is expected to garner the highest revenue by 2037. The industry utilizes corrosion inhibitors on a large scale to provide a corrosion-resistant coating to equipment such as pipelines, vessels, and subsea equipment, for proper functioning. Corrosion inhibitors are employed in a variety of applications, along with exploration and production, transportation and storage, and refining and petrochemical. Thus, the boom in the oil & gas industry is expected to generate considerable revenues for the key players. It was estimated that the oil & gas industry is one of the largest sectors in the world in terms of dollar value, generating an estimated USD 5 trillion in 2022.
Substrate Type (Films, Paper, Powder, Solution)
The global volatile corrosion inhibitors market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by substrate type into films, paper, powder, and solution. Out of these, the segment of the film is attributed to garner the most significant share in the market owing to the rising need to protect metal surfaces from corrosion, cavities, and crevices. Although, methods such as galvanization and painting are effective in preventing the product from rusting, using volatile corrosion inhibitor films reduces the manufacturing cost of the products and increases their durability. Also, the high demand for volatile corrosion inhibitor films from a wide range of industries such as automotive, electrical and electronics, and others are projected to create a positive outlook for segment growth in the future. On the other hand, the paper segment is also projected to grow with a steady CAGR value owing to its eco-friendly properties. As a result of increased inclination towards a sustainable solution, manufacturers are encouraged to use volatile corrosion inhibitor paper as packaging material. In addition to that, as volatile corrosion inhibitor papers are safe for the environment with non-toxic, recyclable, and repulpable properties, it is preferred for various purposes across numerous industries.
