Industrial Painting and Blasting: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The Buyer Power Score stands at -1.8, supplier-favoring, reflecting a fragmented contractor landscape underlaid by concentrated raw-material supply and elevated switching costs driven by SSPC/NACE certification requirements. > **Analyst Take.** Our view: the consensus 4.2 percent CAGR is achievable but front-loaded. Infrastructure and bridge coatings demand accelerates through 2028 on the back of the US IIJA implementation curve, after which the comps get hard
