In terms of product application, currently Nuclear Island is the largest segment, hold a share of 80.1%. This significant proportion stems primarily from the unique working environment and substantial protection requirements of the conventional island. As the “non-nuclear” part of a nuclear power plant that converts heat energy into electricity, the conventional island’s core facilities, such as turbines, generators, condensers, and numerous pipelines and valves, are subjected to harsh industrial environments characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and high salt spray, facing severe challenges of electrochemical and chemical corrosion. Therefore, extremely high requirements are placed on the protective coatings used in conjunction with these components in terms of corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and long-term corrosion protection lifespan. Furthermore, due to the large number of equipment and the large exposed surface area, the amount of coatings used per station and the demand for regular maintenance are considerable.

From a global regional market perspective, the consumption of protective coatings for nuclear power plants in 2024 showed a highly concentrated trend, mainly dominated by the two traditional markets of Europe and North America. Specifically, the regional share of consumption was as follows: Europe ranked first globally with a 44.9% share, becoming the largest regional market; North America followed closely with 31.4%; the Asia-Pacific region currently accounts for 20.6%; while the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America combined account for only 3.1%.

This distribution pattern is highly consistent with the existing layout, technological accumulation, and policy orientation of the global nuclear power industry. Europe (44.9%): Its dominant position stems from the region’s strong nuclear power industrial base, possessing a large number of nuclear power units currently in operation or undergoing life extension. Countries such as France, the UK, and Ukraine have nuclear power playing a significant role in their energy structures. Therefore, the demand for nuclear power plant maintenance, upgrades, and replacement of protective coatings under stringent safety standards remains strong and continuous, constituting the world’s largest existing market. North America (31.4%): As another core market, the United States and Canada have a large number of operating nuclear power units. In recent years, the region has seen a mainstream trend towards long-term operation (LTO) permits and asset optimization for existing nuclear power plants, driving a steady demand for high-performance, long-life protective coatings to ensure the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure. Asia Pacific (20.6%): Although its current share is relatively limited, this region is considered the most promising engine for future global nuclear power growth. Countries such as China, India, and South Korea are actively promoting the construction of new nuclear power projects, while a large number of units are also in the planning stages. With the continued investment in new projects and the accumulation of future existing units, the Asia Pacific market share is expected to show a significant upward trend.
