One of the key innovations in smart coatings manufacturing is the use of advanced materials and manufacturing processes. For instance, the incorporation of nanotechnology in smart coatings allows for precise control over the coating's properties, such as thickness, adhesion, and durability. This results in coatings that are highly effective in protecting against wear and tear, corrosion, and environmental degradation.

Another innovation in smart coatings manufacturing is the adoption of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. This technology allows for the rapid prototyping and customization of coatings, as well as the efficient production of complex shapes and geometries. 3D printing also reduces waste and energy consumption, making it a more sustainable manufacturing process.

One more innovation in smart coatings supply chain management is the use of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize logistics and inventory management. By analyzing data on consumer demand, shipping routes, and storage facilities, manufacturers can make data-driven decisions that reduce costs, improve delivery times, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Automotive & transportation: The largest end-use industry of the smart coatings market

Smart coatings are used in various end-use industries, such as automotive & transportation, aerospace & defense, marine, and building & construction. The automotive & transportation end-use industry is estimated to account for the largest share of the smart coatings market in 2017, in terms of volume and value, because of the higher demand for smart coatings in body hardware, door closure, lock part, exhaust, suspension, engine components, and clamps & hose connections for the protection against abrasion. 

Anti-corrosion smart coatings: The largest segment by function of the smart coatings market

Anti-corrosion smart coatings are preferred because of their compatibility with most structural metals; long-lasting corrosion protection property; and adherence to environmental, health, and safety standards. They are capable of self-healing when damaged. smart coatings also require low maintenance, materials, and labor; and less physical preparation of the metal surface.
