The latest industry research data show that, 2026 In the first half of the year, the domestic fire‑retardant coating market operated steadily, with total output reaching 46.2 Ten thousand tons, with overall growth remaining steady. The product mix continues to improve, The market share of water-based intumescent fire-retardant coatings has risen to 62% Meanwhile, the market share of traditional, highly polluting solvent-based coatings continues to shrink, and environmentally friendly products have become the mainstream choice.

From the demand side, emerging infrastructure sectors such as new‑energy plants, data centers, rail transit systems, underground utility tunnels, and wind‑ and solar‑power mounting structures have become key growth markets for fire‑retardant coatings, driving a substantial surge in orders for specialized, high‑performance fire‑protective coatings. Meanwhile, ongoing needs for fire‑safety upgrades in aging industrial facilities and existing buildings continue to emerge, while new regulations are compelling the market to phase out non‑compliant products. As a result, the industry’s low‑price, cut‑throat competition is gradually giving way, with high‑end, multifunctional coatings that integrate fire protection, corrosion resistance, and environmental sustainability emerging as the central R&D and development trend.
