This, in turn, is projected to have a positive impact on the product demand.
The U.S. government has passed numerous regulations to improve the infrastructure including water supply systems at a domestic level for environmental protection. For instance, in October 2018, the U.S. Senate approved America’s Water Infrastructure Act. The bill focuses on new water projects that will be carried out by the Army Corps of Engineers and includes several provisions directly addressing the drinking water infrastructure. As a result, non-building structures, such as waste disposal and water supply systems, in the country are anticipated to foresee an increased product penetration.
However, the rising threat from substitutes, such as hardwood, tiles, and marble, is anticipated to hamper the market growth over the forecast period. There has been a growing demand for the aforementioned substitute materials for residential and commercial applications as these flooring solutions are easier to install and require relatively lesser-skilled labor for installation as compared to concrete floors. In addition, the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country resulted in a halt or slowdown in the construction activities in the first half of 2021, which negatively affected the product demand. However, the construction companies are recommencing their operations while adhering to the government guidelines. This is projected to fuel the overall market growth over the forecast period.

Product Insights
The epoxy product segment led the market and accounted for more than 50.0% share of the overall revenue in 2021. These coatings exhibit properties, such as excellent adhesion, heat and chemical resistance, and favorable electrical insulation, which have led to their increased popularity in concrete floor coating formulations. In addition, the lower costs of these products compared to their counterparts are expected to have a favorable impact on the segment growth over the forecast period. However, these products are ineffective during UV exposure as the UV light reacts with the coated surface to form radicals. This may hamper the segment growth to some extent.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has framed numerous directives intended for reducing GHG emissions, which is anticipated to restrict the application scope of hazardous chemicals. Epoxy concrete floor coatings contain polycarbonate, which is declared hazardous by the EPA. Thus, strict regulations regarding VOC emissions coupled with growing awareness about eco-friendly alternatives, such as powder coatings, are anticipated to challenge the segment growth over the forecast period.
Application Insights
The commercial application segment led the market and accounted for 60.01% share of the overall revenue in 2021. Improvement in the manufacturing sectors, including automotive and industrial, in the U.S. is expected to upscale the demand for coatings. The strong foothold of commercial spaces as well as corporate houses in the U.S. owing to the well-established infrastructure, trained workforce, and close access to production units on a domestic level is expected to be a favorable factor for the segment growth.
Residential applications include garages, patios, walkways, and basements for new houses and townhouses. The residential construction sector in the country is primarily driven by the growth in single-family housing units. According to the United States Census Bureau, 904,000 single-family homes and 352,000 multi-family units were completed in 2019. Moreover, single-family housing units comprise additional features, such as larger garages. The additional features of single-family housing units are directly linked to an increased usage of concrete flooring for various operations.
Patios are exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, and other environmental factors like dirt and grime, which creates the need to protect patio surfaces. For instance, in summer, the surface is exposed to extreme heat and UV rays, which can lower the build quality of the patio. As a result, flooring solutions, such as concrete floor coatings, are used as they are easy to clean & maintain and offer resistance against weather, moisture, UV, and abrasion.
End-user Insights
The professional end-user segment led the market and accounted for 60.0% of the revenue share in 2021. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Professional concrete floor coating application is more durable as compared to DIY. Trained professionals use specialized equipment, such as shot blaster or diamond grinder, to mechanically clean and abrade the floor to ensure the coatings adhere appropriately to the concrete and not peel or delaminate over time.
Thus, the application done by professionals is cost-effective in the long run. The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate of 5.7% during the forecast period.
