European UV Cured Coating Market
Frost & Sullivan, June 2001
Unparalleled Processing Speeds of UV Curing Bolsters Demand
As companies in a wide variety of industries strive to accelerate the time to complete product coating, they will increasingly move away from traditional
solvent-based materials to ultraviolet (UV) curing techniques. Compared with the methods of hardening coatings by evaporation or oven curing, UV curing
is a fast, clean process, even with thick environmental coatings such as those used in the electronics industry.
This report analyses the European UV cured coating markets by geographic region and by end-user industry, including furniture and construction; electronics and telecom; printing and packaging; automotive; and consumer
goods. By examining market drivers and restraints, tracking trends and providing expert forecasts for each segment, this study gives its users key insights into the
future of the field.
VOC Legislation Will Continue to Drive Growth
The introduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) legislation in the European Union is a very big factor in the UV cured coating industry, says the study's author. With its goal of significantly reducing emissions of VOC and NOx compounds, the VOC directive has taken aim at the paints and coatings industry. UV curing, which is environmentally friendlier than solvent-based techniques, should benefit from the strict restrictions.
Still, the impact of the VOC directive will vary greatly from region to region and from one end-user industry to the next. If VOC compliance is to be used as a selling point, market participants must know exactly how important compliance is to each customer. This report offers an in-depth discussion of the VOC directive and its anticipated impact on the UV coating markets,
giving your firm the most up-to-date market research available.
Customer Globalization Requires Market Participants to Re-Evaluate Strategies
The manufacturing industry is increasingly a global business. Companies in some industries are moving plants overseas to save on labor costs whilst in other industries the push is to open production facilities near end-user markets to save on transportation expenses. If a customer is considering moving production to a new region, market participants must consider whether their clients' needs for coatings will still be met by the existing supplier, says the author.
UV coating providers will have to globalize themselves to accommodate users' needs, wherever in the world they may be. This report, which tracks key trends, can help your company develop a plan that best meets client demand
and maximizes gains.
