The liquid powder and specialty coating equipment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.86 billion in 2025 to $2.99 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of manufacturing industries, demand for corrosion protection, expansion of automotive production, adoption of liquid coating systems, industrial modernization.
The liquid powder and specialty coating equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability-driven coating adoption, automation of finishing lines, demand for specialty coatings, growth of aerospace and electronics manufacturing, smart factory investments. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of automated coating lines, demand for high-performance surface finishes, growth of powder coating adoption, integration of robotics in coating processes, focus on low-emission coatings.
The expanding automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the liquid, powder, and specialty coating equipment market going forward. The automotive sector involves the design, development, production, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles - including passenger cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles - along with related components and services. Growth in this sector is fueled by expanding production capacities, government incentives, and rising investments in electric and autonomous vehicles. The increasing automotive activity boosts demand for liquid, powder, and specialty coating equipment, which enhances vehicle durability, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance. Advanced coatings also improve performance and efficiency, particularly for electric and autonomous vehicles. For example, in October 2025, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, a UK-based professional membership body and regulator of chartered accountants, reported that the global automotive manufacturing industry had experienced significant growth, reaching a market valuation of USD 2.8 trillion in 2024. Thus, the growing automotive industry is propelling the liquid, powder, and specialty coating equipment market.
Companies in the liquid powder and specialty coating equipment market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as automatic spray guns, to improve application efficiency and coating quality. Automatic spray guns are advanced devices that operate autonomously, offering precise control over spray patterns, pressure, and fluid flow, ensuring consistent coverage and minimizing material waste. For example, in April 2023, Wagner Group, a Germany-based manufacturer of powder coating equipment, introduced the PEA-X1 and PER-X1 models with a modular design and various accessories to enhance flexibility in powder coating processes. These guns are designed for both single-color and color-change systems, providing improved powder cloud quality, thinner coating thickness, and reduced powder consumption. They are compatible with different nozzles and can be easily retrofitted into existing systems, making installation and maintenance simpler and reducing service costs.
In July 2024, JH Technologies, a U.S.-based provider of scientific instruments and equipment, formed a partnership with VacTradeUK to exclusively distribute VacTradeUK's advanced vacuum coating systems in the United States.
