The epoxy primer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable coating technologies, rising demand for low-voc primer solutions, expansion of industrial maintenance activities, growing adoption in renewable energy infrastructure, increasing focus on long-life protective coatings. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-performance anti-corrosion coatings, rising demand for waterborne epoxy primers, growing use in infrastructure rehabilitation projects, expansion of multi-substrate compatible primers, enhanced focus on long-term surface protection.

The growing aerospace industry is expected to propel the growth of the epoxy primer market going forward. The aerospace industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, and related equipment and systems. Epoxy primers in the aerospace industry provide a protective and corrosion-resistant coating for aircraft surfaces, ensuring durability and safety while minimizing maintenance and extending the lifespan of aerospace components. For instance, in January 2024, according to the report published by Aircraft Interiors International, a UK-based media company, aircraft orders increased by 91% in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by a 78% rise in single-aisle aircraft orders and a 169% surge in widebody aircraft orders. Additionally, new aircraft deliveries reached 1,265 units in 2023, marking an 11% year-over-year increase. Therefore, the growing aerospace industry is driving the growth of the epoxy primer market.

Major companies entering the epoxy primer market are increasingly focusing on developing innovative products such as next-generation eco-friendly formulations to strengthen their market presence and meet evolving industry demands. Next-generation eco-friendly formulations are advanced primer compositions designed to reduce environmental impact through safer ingredients and higher efficiency while still delivering strong performance, helping users enhance corrosion protection, minimize waste, lower application costs, and support overall sustainability goals. For instance, in August 2024, PPG Industries, a US-based paint and coating manufacturing company, launched an eco-friendly zinc epoxy powder primer called PPG PRIMERON Optimal to enhance corrosion protection while promoting sustainability. This patent-pending product features an enhanced zinc formulation that offers superior transfer efficiency compared to standard zinc-rich primers, achieving a transfer efficiency of 85%. The primer is designed to provide corrosion protection that meets stringent ISO C5 standards, making it suitable for high humidity and harsh environments. Additionally, it has a significantly lower specific gravity (2 vs. 3.6) than traditional zinc-rich primers, resulting in easier application and reduced material usage, leading to cost savings for users.
