The development trend of low-carbon automobiles is rising, and the automobile wheel hub powder coating industry has huge room for growth.

Powder coating refers to a solid powdery synthetic resin coating composed of solid resin, pigments, additives and other materials. Among them, the powder coatings used in the field of automobile wheel hub coating are collectively called automobile wheel hub powder coatings. Automobile aluminum alloy wheels (aluminum wheels) are one of the key components of automobiles. They have the advantages of light weight, fast heat dissipation, high safety, good wear resistance, strong shock absorption performance, and long service life. They have now become the mainstay of the automobile wheel market. One of the mainstream products.

While the advantages and performance of aluminum wheels are highlighted, they are also greatly threatened by various impacts, corrosion, scratches, deformation and other conditions during driving. Therefore, as a key material to enhance the protective performance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, appearance decoration performance, weather resistance and scratch resistance of automobile wheels, powder coatings have continuously released market demand. According to different functions, automobile wheel hub powder coatings can be divided into two categories: hub base powder and gloss powder. Among them, the main types of wheel base powder include epoxy coating, pure polyester coating, epoxy polyester coating, etc.; the main types of varnish powder include GMA acrylic coating, polyester coating, etc.

In recent years, against the background of the rapid development of the domestic automobile industry and the continuous improvement of the performance of automobile wheel powder coating related products, the market demand for automobile wheel powder coatings has continued to increase. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, my country’s automobile production and sales in 2021 will be 26.082 million and 26.275 million vehicles respectively, a year-on-year increase of 3.4% and 3.8%. Against this background, the scale of my country’s automotive wheel powder coatings market continues to grow, and GMA acrylic coatings are currently the mainstream products in the domestic automotive wheel powder coatings market.

According to the “Research Report on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Automotive Wheel Powder Coating Industry from 2023 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that automobile wheel hub powder coating is an important branch of the industrial coatings industry. Driven by its continued growth in demand, the automobile wheel hub powder coating market has become a must-have for many industrial coatings companies. There are currently a large number of companies in the domestic automobile wheel hub powder coating market, mainly including foreign-funded enterprises such as AkzoNobel of the Netherlands, Nippon Paint of Japan, PPG of the United States, Axalta Coatings of the United States, BASF of Germany, Liangkwiese of Germany, KCC of South Korea, and Sifang Local companies such as Weikai, Jinlitai Chemical, Swan Paint, Qingtian Materials, and Baoguang Industry.

Industrial Analysts personnel said that after recent years of development, my country’s automobile wheel hub powder coating market has continued to process localization. Accelerating the pace, local companies currently occupy a leading position in the mid- to low-end market, with a high degree of localization. However, due to the late start of my country’s automotive wheel hub powder coating industry, local companies lack competitiveness in the high-end market. Therefore, the high-end market is still dominated by leading foreign companies. In the future, against the background of the rising trend of low-carbon automobile development, the market demand for automotive wheel hub powder coatings will continue to escalate. Local companies need to increase product innovation, and the industry has huge room for growth.
