Global Textile Coatings Market Challenges

Stringent regulations to reduce carbon footprint and VOC emissions

Several organizations such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and others have set various regulations and policies to reduce carbon footprint and VOC emissions from coatings. For instance, the control technique guidelines (CTGs) developed by the EPA, which set limits on VOC emissions from coatings for various industries, particularly in areas that exceed certain levels of lower atmospheric ozone. In January 2018, the EU published the German version of DIN EN 16516, a test standard that uniformly regulates the emission measurement of construction products including coatings. In Canada, regulations such as Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Concentration Limits for Architectural Coatings Regulations (SOR/2009-264) and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Concentration Limits for Certain Products Regulations, have set limits on VOC emission from coatings. In addition, in the eastern United States, the Ozone Transport Committee (OTC) makes environmental policy for thirteen states on limiting VOC emission from coatings, including New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey Maryland and the Washington D.C. Growing environmental concern is resulting in more stringent regulations limiting VOC emission from coatings, which is may hinder the market growth.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic

The emergence of COVID-19, which is declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, is having a noticeable impact on global economic growth. According to International Monetary Fund, the global GDP is expected to decline by 0.3% in 2020. According to World Trade Organization (WTO), global trade volumes are projected to decline between 13% and 32% in 2020 as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19. The pandemic is affecting operations of various industries such as automotive, oil and gas, construction, aerospace, and others, as most of the countries have issued “stay at home guidance” i.e., lockdown. And it is expected that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be seen in the whole year of 2020, and a few months in 2021. As textile coatings products are extensively used in these industries, the declining operations of these industries are directly affecting textile coatings market growth.
