Report Outlook

The global traffic road marking coating market was valued at USD 5.85 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. Road marking coatings are crucial for providing official information on a road's surface, as they assist in facilitating traffic flow and directing drivers. These markings can take various forms, such as patterns, lines, devices, or words, applied to the carriageway, curb, or objects within and adjacent to it to inform, guide, control, and warn road users. Cold plastic compounds can also be used for outdoor applications like bus stops, bicycle lanes, walkways, parking lots, and restricted areas, offering visually appealing decorative images with different color combinations.

Thermoplastic coating, or hot melt marking, has become increasingly popular due to its durability and retro-reflectivity. The global market for road marking coatings is expected to be driven by increased spending on infrastructure development, including new highways and repair and maintenance operations. The industry is associated with new road construction and existing maintenance businesses, which drive demand for repainting.

Investments in intelligent street marking systems and machines have increased in the market. These systems and devices can record important information, such as driver speed, driving conditions, and temperature, which is then communicated to the vehicle's sensor system. Travel lanes, loading zones, and parking spaces are commonly marked using paint. However, thermoplastic coating, also called hot melt marking, is becoming increasingly popular due to its desirable properties, such as durability and retro-reflectivity.

The Performed polymer tape is commonly used to mark crosswalks, stop bars, and traffic lanes. Epoxy, an economical and reliable solution comprising a catalyst and pigmented resin base, is preferred over plastic materials for its affordability and dependability. Manufacturers are developing temperature-sensitive paints that withstand severe environmental conditions like heavy rain and snowfall.

The Traffic Road Marking Coating market is anticipated to experience growth due to an increased demand for markings in public and private parking spaces. Regulatory bodies worldwide are actively developing guidelines to enhance road safety. While established regulatory frameworks for road safety exist in regions like North America and Europe, emerging economies are working towards improving their frameworks to ensure the safety and maintenance of their roads.

Although the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant supply chain instability, reduced traffic led to increased road maintenance and building projects. The crisis also presented an opportunity to assess runway construction schedules. For instance, in May 2020, Auckland Airport announced its plans to take advantage of traffic restrictions during the pandemic to expedite its runway pavement replacement project.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
The Traffic Road Marking Coating market for traffic safety products like road markings is expected to witness a surge in demand and adoption due to the growing awareness about road safety. Governments and organizations implement measures to ensure road safety, including signaling, signboards, mandating traffic rules, organizing awareness camps, and conveying important messages. Among these, signboards are the most commonly used method to prevent road accidents and mishaps. As roads are the primary transportation medium, users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle drivers, are vulnerable to accidents. It has led to a significant increase in demand for traffic road marking coatings, including safe crossing points, footpaths, rumble strips, cycling lanes, and other traffic calming measures.

The rising number of accidents worldwide has propelled the need for increased awareness. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1.35 million people die in road traffic crashes annually, with over half of these accidents involving vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. The market is also influenced and driven by stringent regulations governing driving, following traffic rules, and promoting safe driving practices.

Ensuring safe driving practices requires the implementation of safe and durable road structures. Increasing government investments in improving road quality, focusing on vulnerable road users and other important factors, is expected to drive market growth. Additionally, initiatives aimed at improving road connectivity between urban and remote areas are anticipated to impact market growth positively.

Moreover, rising construction activities worldwide have increased the demand for efficient and effective solutions for roofing and paving. Among these, using thermoplastic coatings is a highly cost-effective option for consumers.

The thermoplastic segment is expected to witness the fastest growth during forecast period

Thermoplastic segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing product category during forecast period. These paints come in various hues, each representing a different use, such as best reflectors, areas frequently used by a large forklift truck, or temporary markings. The Borealis Student Innovation Award was given to SWARCO Road Marking Systems in December 2020 for their work with students to investigate the viability of incorporating natural polymers in thermoplastic street markings.

Rumble strips are made by painting thermoplastic marks in a thick, built-up layer. Fast-setting and firmly adhering to the surface, this coating sets up. Additional additives can help the material maintain its color over time. Their resistance-wearing capabilities are high.

The road marking lines segment witnessed the largest growth in 2022

Road marking lines witnessed the largest growth in 2022. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that demand for route marking lines will increase due to the growing use of these lines to guide moving vehicles. The marker marks the separation of the driving lane from potential dangers and the need for lateral space. Moreover, it can inform, direct, and caution drivers.

Europe is expected to witness significant growth during forecast period

Europe is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Rising tourism activities are urgently needed to improve infrastructure and public transportation. Road accidents are becoming more likely due to the rise in passenger vehicles. The need for road safety measures has increased as a result of this.

North America exhibits substantial growth during the upcoming years due to expansion of residential and commercial infrastructure projects that are encouraging the use of traffic road marking paints. Moreover, a paint manufacturing and sizable coatings base is anticipated for regional growth. The market will develop due to strict road safety regulations and customer awareness.
