China’s new energy sector (new energy vehicles, energy storage, photovoltaics) has emerged as the fastest-growing demand driver for high-performance powder coatings. In 2024, related demand surged by 42% year-on-year, accounting for 28% of the total powder coating market. Key requirements include ultra-weather resistance (5,000+ hours salt spray resistance), low-temperature curing (adapting to heat-sensitive substrates), and environmental friendliness (zero VOCs).
Leading enterprises are strengthening industry-academia-research cooperation: joint labs with universities focus on functional coatings (self-healing, thermal conductivity), while intelligent spraying equipment (ABB robots) reduces defect rates from 1.2% to 0.2%. Export of new energy-related powder coatings to Southeast Asia and the Middle East increased by 35% in the first half of 2025, driven by local new energy project investments.
