Wood Coating Additives Market Segment Analysis – By Formulation
The solvent based system segment held the largest share in the wood coating additives market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 6% during 2021-2026. A solvent based wood coating additives system offers a liquid protective layer that is primarily composed of organic compounds and applied to a material's surface to prevent corrosion. They are typically more resilient than water based wood coating additives system coatings during the curing time. These coatings have one major advantage over water based wood coating additives systems i.e. they are less susceptible to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity during the curing phase. Humidity can prevent the water in a water-based system from evaporating, making them impractical in some climates. Thus, solvent based wood coating additives systems are preferred for applications in humid environments. All these superior properties of the solvent based system are the key factor anticipated to boost the demand for wood coating additives during the forecast period.
Wood Coating Additives Market Segment Analysis – By Type
The Rheology modifier segment held a significant share in the wood coating additives market in 2020. For the optimal application of coatings on wood, it is necessary to adjust the rheology profile of the coating with the help of rheology modifiers. This can be managed by using associative thickeners based on polyurethanes. Polyurethane thickeners can be used solely or in combination with each other as well as with other types of thickeners (e.g. polyacrylates or cellulose ethers). In addition, rheology modifiers enable formulators to adjust the flow behavior of coatings, owing to which the wood coatings benefit from improved viscosity. Furthermore, it reduces dripping and a spattering of paint during roller or brush application, which is the major driving factor for the Rheology modifier additives during the forecast period.

Hence, with the increase in construction activities across the globe, the demand for wood coating additives will be foreseen to grow enormously. Thus, such government investments and initiatives in the construction industry act as a driver for the market.
Wood Coating Additives Market Segment Analysis Challenges
Presence of Other Substitute Materials
Most wood coatings are done either in a short-term artificial weathering chamber or long-term on an outdoor rack/fence. In both cases, the coatings are exposed to both ultraviolet radiation and water. As moisture is absorbed into the wood structure, the wood swells in proportion to the volume of water absorbed. As moisture is lost, the wood shrinks in proportion to the volume of the water lost. Thus, moisture in the wood end grain is responsible for coating failures. Also, the wood material may be too hard or rough for products like soft fruits, and therefore liners of soft material may be needed, which further increases the expenses owing to which polymeric materials are gaining popularity. Moreover, the continuous manufacturing of wooden-based products such as furniture, crates, pallets, containers, and more have put an extra claim on the natural forest resources, leading to deforestation. All these disadvantages of wood-based products are unlatching doors for other immediate substitute materials such as metal, polymer, composites, and more. Thus, the demand for wood may see a downfall, which may hinder the wood coating additives market growth during the forecast period.
