Corrosion Under Insulation (Cui) & Spray-on Insulation (Soi) Coatings Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis

The Corrosion Under Insulation (Cui) & Spray-On Insulation (Soi) Coatings Market is valued at USD 2.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% to reach USD 4.7 billion by 2034.

The global corrosion under insulation (CUI) and spray-on insulation (SOI) coatings market is driven by the critical need to prevent corrosion of insulated pipes and equipment in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. CUI occurs when moisture penetrates the insulation and corrodes the underlying metal, often undetected until significant damage has occurred. SOI coatings provide a protective barrier directly on the metal surface before insulation is applied, mitigating the risk of CUI.

The growth of this market is influenced by increasing awareness of the significant costs associated with CUI, stringent safety and environmental regulations, and the demand for proactive corrosion management solutions. The market benefits from the development of specialized coatings that can withstand high temperatures, resist moisture ingress, and provide long-term corrosion protection under various insulation materials. The focus is on preventing costly shutdowns, ensuring operational safety, and extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure.

North America and Europe are significant markets for CUI and SOI coatings due to their extensive infrastructure in the oil and gas and chemical industries. Asia Pacific and the Middle East are experiencing rapid growth, driven by new industrial projects and increasing emphasis on asset integrity management. The market includes specialized coating manufacturers and service providers offering application expertise.
