Gelcoat Market Definition

Gelcoat is a material used to provide a superior finishing on a surface of a fiber-reinforced composite used to protect structural laminates. Gelcoat Market 2024-2030To know about the Research Methodology:-Request Free Sample Report

Dynamics

Isophthalic acid-based resins are used to manufacture gelcoats. The common gelcoat are thermosetting polymers based on epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin. Gelcoats are modified resins that are applied to molds in a liquid state. These coats offer various properties such as corrosion resistance, UV degradation, and water absorption. The selection of isophthalic acid-based resins will increase water retention and blister resistance by gelcoats. An increase in demand for composites to decrease weight and enhancing fuel efficiency of the transportation systems like railways, autos, and leisure vehicles plays propels the necessity for gelcoats in the transportation industry. These coats are available in brush and spray forms of suitable thickness, so that laminate is not susceptible to any cracking damage with various uses in marine, wind, construction, and transportation industries. Most gelcoats are used in the marine industry.

Gelcoat Market Segment Analysis

Based on Resin Type, polyester was the largest resin used for gelcoat manufacturing in 2024. Increasing use of polyester resin in the marine, wind, and transportation industry owing to its excellent UV degradation compared to vinyl ester and epoxy resin has boosted the polyester resin gelcoat market over the forecasted period. These resins are less expensive and have properties such as good corrosion resistance, fast curing, durability, tolerance to temperature, and low thermal expansion. Polyester resin holds the largest market during the forecast period, in terms of value and volume. Based on End User Industry, the marine end-user segment accounted for the largest share of the gelcoat market in 2024 and also expected to be dominant throughout the forecast period. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, around 95% of powerboats sold in the U.S. are manufactured in the U.S. itself. The German shipbuilding industry has undergone a substantial transformation over the past few decades, first with modernization and privatization of the yards in East Germany during the 1990s, where considerable investment was made to improve the competitiveness of the industry, which resulted in a number of insolvencies in German yards, and significant consolidation.
