Metallic Coatings Industry Business Models

Delivered December 15, 2019. Contributor: Katieanne G.

Goals

To build a list of the 5 most highly profitable business models for companies in the metallic coatings industry (i.e. cold spray, flame spray, chemical vapor deposition, and electroplating). In addition, find the top 3 companies using each business model and provide each company's top product and/or service. Scope is global. Research will be used for the development of a business model in this industry.

Early Findings

During this first hour of research, we found a 2019 MarketWatch report highlighting the top players in the global metallic coatings industry. One effective path of continued research might be to evaluate these key industry players to create a list of the most profitable business models for companies in the metallic coatings industry.
Key Players in the Global Metallic Coatings Industry DuPont is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware and reports $22.9 billion in annual revenue.
 PPG Industries is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and reported $15.4 billion in total sales for 2018.
 Axalta Coating Systems is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and reports $4.5 billion in annual revenue.
 AkzoNobel is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and reports $12.5 billion in annual revenue.
 Nippon Paint Holdings is based in Osaka, Japan and reports $5.6 billion in annual revenue.

Proprietary ResearchIn addition to this public search, we scanned our proprietary research database of over 1 million sources and were unable to find any specific research reports that address your goals.

Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

We recommend continued research to evaluate the business models and products/services in the metallic coatings sector for each of these nine companies: Dupont, PPG Industries, Axalta Coating Systems, AkzoNobel, Nippon Paint Holdings, Henkel, Sherwin-Williams, Valspar, and BASF. For each company, we will 1) describe its business model and 2) provide examples of its metallic coatings products and/or services. Once we've evaluated these key industry players, we can consolidate their business models into a single list of the most highly profitable business models for companies in the metallic coatings industry.

We will then find 2-3 additional companies (other than these key players already mentioned) that use each business model and provide examples of metallic coatings products/services offered by each. Our scope will be global.
