Anti-reflective coatings are types of optical coating applied to reduce reflection on the surfaces of lenses and other optical devices. It is used widely in various applications through which light passes on optical surface and where low reflection is necessary. They possess low reflectance and high transmittance properties and enhance the visibility by blocking superfluous reflections from different forms of surfaces. These are best suited for high index lenses, which is easy and cheap to coat. Lenses with additional coating are water and grease repellent.
Various types of anti-reflective coating are index matching, single layer interference, multi layer interference, absorbing, moth eye and circular polarizer. Based on end users, this market can be segmented as Eyewear, Electronics, Solar, Automobile and Others. It is mostly used in optical and electrical applications for effective products. Eyewear segment is the largest market that is growing rapidly.
Geographically, the anti-reflective coatings market is spread into regions of Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World. Global trends include fingerprint resistance, scratch resistance, anti-static, and easy to clean products.

Automotive paints are a multilayer coating system aiding in enhancing the look of the automobiles as well as protecting it against sunlight, oxidation, corrosion and scratches. The layers include a primer (as protector and leveler), a basecoat (has visual properties) and the final clearcoat (to resist abrasion). Automotive paints are composed of pigments, solvents, resins, and various additives. The pigment is responsible for the colour of the paints, solvents makes the paint easy to apply ,resins help it in drying and chemical additives to eliminate the flaws and defects that used to plague the finishes on automobiles.
Paints chemists have worked over the years to bring more durable and environment friendly (i.e. low VOC’s) paints – from solvent-based paints to water-borne paints. Similarly work has been done to minimize wastage in paints application techniques from air spray gun, high volume low pressure guns (HVLP), airless spray guns, electrostatic spraying to power coating and UV-cured coatings.
This report is segmented based on coating types, textures, vehicles, technologies techniques and geography. Primer and clearcoat were the major coating consumed by the automobile industry. Solid and Metallic paints are the most used textures by the industry. Passenger vehicle are the prime segment demand by the customers and produced by the industry. Water-borne paints are replacing solvent-borne paints.
Some of the major players operating in the automotive paints market include:
