The Global Thermal Spray Coating Market was valued at USD 15.7 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% to reach USD 29.5 billion by 2035.
Market growth is fueled by increasing demand in the aerospace industry, where manufacturers are focused on improving fuel efficiency and performance, driving the need for thermal spray coatings on high-temperature, wear-prone, and corrosion-sensitive components. Industrial gas turbines and automotive sectors also contribute significantly to market expansion, with coatings used for critical automotive parts requiring durability and high performance. The rise of electric vehicles has opened new opportunities, as thermal sprays are now applied to battery components, braking systems, and power electronics. Environmental regulations by REACH, EPA, and OSHA are accelerating the shift from hard chrome plating to more sustainable thermal spray solutions due to health hazards associated with hexavalent chromium and surface inconsistencies in traditional plating processes.
The ceramic coatings segment held a 26% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% through 2035. Their high hardness, thermal barrier properties, adhesion, and corrosion resistance make them suitable for applications in diesel engine components, automotive cylinders, and aerospace systems. Early adoption in high-temperature aerospace components has strengthened their market penetration.
The aerospace and defense segment held a 34.5% share in 2025 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2035. Increasing demand for commercial, military, and general aviation, driven by rising global travel and transportation spending, supports adoption. Thermal spray coatings are widely integrated in aerospace manufacturing, making this sector the most advanced adopter of the technology.
North America Thermal Spray Coating Market contributed 27.6% share in 2025, led by the U.S., with Canada focused on aerospace and power equipment applications. The region’s growth is supported by aerospace, defense, and industrial gas turbine demand, while the adoption of cold spray techniques in repair and maintenance facilities accelerates turnaround times for metallic structures and supports operational efficiency.
