Global surface treatment market is expected to undergo substantial rate of growth during the forecast period owing to growing demand for eco-friendly chemicals and increasing investment in the chemical industry. The increasing demand for durable and wear-resistant products is leading to high demand for surface treatment around the world. Further, increasing infrastructural and industrial activity is expected to propel the growth of surface treatment market by 2025.

Surface treatment is a process applied to the surface of a material to make it better in some way, such as by making it more resistant to corrosion or wear. It is majorly utilized for treatment of metals and alloys as well as treatment of printed circuit boards, which are made up of plastic and metal. It finds wide application in coatings industry for all types of material.

Global surface treatment market can be segmented based on chemical type, base material, end-use industry and region. Based on chemical type, the market is segmented into cleaners, plating chemicals and conversion coatings. The plating chemicals segment is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the large use of plating chemicals in end-use industries like transportation, construction and industrial machinery.

Based on base material, the global surface treatment market is categorized into metals, plastic and others. Among them, the plastic segment is anticipated to undergo high growth in the next five years as it provides better chemical resistance over metals.  The lightweight property of plastics is making them find increased use in automotive as well as general industry.
