In the context of the rapid development of the wind power industry, wind power coatings have a broad consumer market

Wind power coating is a kind of coating used to protect the components of wind turbines and enable them to operate for a long time in harsh environments. Against the background of the rapid development of wind power construction in my country, the prosperity of the wind power coating industry continues to increase.

In the context of the continuous development of our country’s economy, the continuous improvement of national living standards, the continuous expansion of industrial production scale, and the continuous growth of total energy consumption, in recent years, the country has issued a number of policies to encourage and support the development of new energy industries. In May 2022, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of New Energy in the New Era”, proposing to accelerate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobis, and desert areas, and increase efforts in planning and construction to A new energy supply and consumption system based on large-scale wind and photovoltaic power bases, supported by clean, efficient, advanced and energy-saving coal power in its surroundings, and supported by stable, safe and reliable UHV power transmission and transformation lines. As an important component of wind turbines, wind power coatings have a good development environment.

Driven by national policies and market demand, my country’s wind power installed capacity continues to grow, and wind power coatings have a broad consumer market. According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the country’s cumulative installed power generation capacity in 2022 will be approximately 2.56 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%, of which wind power installed capacity will be approximately 370 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 11.2%.

According to the “In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on Wind Power Coatings Industry 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, my country’s wind energy Resources are mainly concentrated in the Gobi desert and coastal areas. Wind power components need to face abrasion from sand and dust, impact damage from larger objects such as hail and birds, and erosion from high temperature, heat, and high salt spray environments. As wind power equipment becomes larger and larger, new regulations for wind farm upgrading and transformation are gradually implemented, and the market’s quality and performance requirements for wind power coatings are also constantly increasing, posing certain challenges to the development of the industry.

Against the background of shortage of land resources and tight energy supply, offshore wind power has received more and more attention from the market, and the market demand for offshore wind power coatings will continue to grow. Since offshore wind power faces problems such as high humidity, strong winds, and high maintenance costs, the requirements for anti-corrosion properties of coatings are higher than those for onshore wind power. At present, the domestic offshore wind power coatings market is still occupied by foreign-funded enterprises, and local enterprises still have considerable room for development.

Industry analysts said that the foreign wind power coating industry started earlier and has a long development time. In terms of R&D capabilities, production technology, product quality, etc. It has strong competitive advantages and is in a dominant position in the market. Representative companies include BASF, Hempel, and AkzoNobel. my country’s wind power coatings industry started late and has a weak industrial foundation. After a period of development, local companies have continuously strengthened their R&D capabilities and industry competitiveness, gradually breaking foreign monopolies. However, they are still in a weak position in the field of offshore wind power coatings. At present, the main domestic wind power coating manufacturers include Mecca Xincai New Material Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Foster Applied Materials Co., Ltd., Northwest Yongxin Group Co., Ltd., etc.
