Global auditing and consulting firm PwC has released its latest survey results at the third China International Import Expo.

According to PwC’s Sports Survey 2020, the global sports industry is expected to slow annual growth to 3.3% in the next 3-5 years in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

PwC predicts that the industry will grow in Asia by around 7.3%, while sports betting is projected to become the major driver of revenue increase for the global sports industry.

As the pandemic has significantly accelerated the development of virtual entertainment, sectors like simulated sports and e-sports have seen golden opportunities. There is also a rising trend in motorsports worldwide.

It is estimated that mobile games will become a key part of future games and e-sports strategies. Therefore, in-depth cooperation between mobile game developers and sports organisations may lead to new business models.

The survey is based upon the views of 780 industry professionals from over 50 countries and regions between June and August this year.

Explore Transparency Market Research’s award-winning coverage of the global Chemicals and Materials Industry,

Adhesives & Sealants Market – The global adhesives & sealants market for manufacturing industry is primarily driven by the increase in usage of adhesives & sealants in electronic products, batteries, and appliances. Furthermore, the demand for adhesives & sealants has been rising across the globe, owing to its adoption in electric vehicles. Adhesives & sealants are utilized throughout the interior, exterior, and engine compartment of an aircraft. Acrylics, epoxies, cyanoacrylates are considered as aerospace adhesives. Adhesives are preferred in interiors, exteriors, and engine compartments of aircraft, due to their advantages over other types of adhesives. Adhesives carry higher weight loads and improve uniform distribution of stress and strain across joints. Adhesives also maintain integrity and strength of materials, as there is no hole, rivet, or fastening element to weaken the structure. These factors are projected to fuel the global demand for adhesives & sealants during the forecast period.

Sports Flooring Market – In terms of value, the global sports flooring market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~6% from 2020 to 2030. The demand for indoor sports activities has been increasing in North America and Europe due to extreme weather conditions. Governments and private sports clubs in these regions are investing significantly in indoor sports complexes. The growth in public awareness about the link between physical activity and health is also projected to drive the demand for indoor sports activities. There has been a significant rise in participation in indoor sports activities in North America and Europe over the past few years. This can be ascribed to increase in household income and growth in expenditure on recreational activities. The rise in awareness about fitness and personal care is encouraging people to spend on gym memberships; and yoga, Zumba, and dance activities. This trend is likely to continue in the near future.

Electrical Appliance Coatings Market – The global electrical appliance coatings market was valued at ~US$ 6.2 Bn in 2019 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period. The global electrical appliance coatings market is driven by increase in demand for electrical appliances from the rising population of Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global electrical appliance coatings market, led by high demand for electrical appliance coatings, among appliance manufacturers in the region.

Conformal Coatings Market – The exponential growth in the electric vehicles industry is expected to drive the global conformal coatings market during the forecast period. Plastics offer several structural and weight advantages over traditional metal automotive parts. The number of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) in electric vehicles and the intricacy of the modules are higher than that in traditional combustion engine vehicles. This is anticipated to drive the demand for conformal coatings. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electric car deployment has been rising rapidly since the last 10 years, with the global stock of electric passenger cars passing 5 million in 2018, an increase of 63% from that in the previous year. China accounted for around 45% share of electric cars in the world in 2018, representing a total of 2.31 million compared to 39% in 2017. Therefore, increase in the production of electric vehicle is estimated to propel the demand for PCBs. This, in turn, is projected to drive the global conformal coatings market during the forecast period.

The growth of this market is attributed to the continued growth of the furniture industry, which is the largest consumer of low temperature powder coatings. Metal and non-metal are the two types of substrates for the application of low-temperature powder coatings. Non-metal substrates include wood, plastics, glass, and composites.

The non-metal segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the Low Temperature Powder Coatings Market, by substrate, during the forecast period.

Non-metal substrate dominates the global low temperature powder coatings market. Low temperature powder coating can be used to coat many non-metallic substrates such as wood & MDF, plastics, glass, and composites. Compared to liquid paints, powder coating is known for strong adhesion, excellent durability, and the absence of runs and low VOCs during application. Low temperature powder coatings technology enables the coating of non-conductive and non-metallic substrates by using a low-cost surface treatment that does not emit VOCs or other hazardous by-products.

The hybrid segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the Low Temperature Powder Coatings Market, by resin, during the forecast period.

Hybrid resin dominates the global low temperature powder coatings market. Hybrid resins combine epoxy resin with polyester resin to form a powder with many of the same characteristics as the epoxies. They are used primarily for indoor applications. Epoxy-polyester hybrid exhibits some of the best transfer efficiencies of all thermoset powder coatings. In some cases, they may be as flexible as epoxy types but lose some hardness and chemical resistance because of the polyester component.

The furniture end-use segment is estimated to be the largest in the Low Temperature Powder Coatings Market during the forecast period.

The furniture industry accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the low temperature powder coatings market in 2019. Low temperature powder coatings have gained significant importance as a surface protectant of choice in the furniture industry. They are used for the surface finishing of steel and aluminum, such as garden furniture, contract furniture, site furnishings, and for MDF furniture. One of the biggest advancements in the furniture industry is the use of engineered wood materials, such as MDF. It is very suitable for low temperature powder coating because of its low porosity and homogeneous surface.

Low Temperature Powder Coatings Market in Europe is expected to account for the largest share during the forecast period.

Europe is the world’s largest low temperature powder coatings market, with the US being the dominant market in the region. The increasingly stringent regulations regarding the use of low/no VOC coatings and the switching of coating technologies may impact the demand for low temperature powder coatings. The low temperature powder coatings market in Europe is expected to grow fastest due to the presence of major players and technological advancements in the region. The economic slowdown has affected most of the industries in Europe, but the demand for low temperature powder coatings has not been impacted much and is estimated to increase slowly with a growing realization about yearly cost savings with this technology.

There are a large number of end-users in the low temperature powder coatings market and a limited number of coating manufacturers. The presence of major furniture manufacturers, such as IKEA, that actively use these coatings has supported the growth of the market over the past few years.

Major players operating in the low temperature powder coatings market are PPG Industries, Inc. (US), Sherwin-Williams Company (US), AkzoNobel N.V. (Netherlands), Axalta Coating Systems LLC (US), and Tiger Coatings GmbH (Austria).

UK Bookmakers Agree Cash Boost for Horseracing

November 11, 2020 Published by EuropeanGaming.eu

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Bookmakers in the UK have agreed to pay additional fees on existing streaming and data deals until December 2, to provide much-needed financial help for the horseracing sector during the latest Covid-19 lockdown.

The extra revenue from online operators will help racecourses to make up for some of the funding shortfalls caused by the widespread closure of betting shops in the UK and Ireland for the next month. Bookmakers agreed to similar increased pricing in June and July when betting shops were closed.

More than half of racecourses’ revenue comes from spectators, meaning the ongoing ban is crippling the sport – and putting the future viability of courses at risk unless the Government allows their return.

“We are very grateful for the betting industry to agree to paying increased fees for the next month, while most of Britain and Ireland will be locked down. Newbury Racecourse has long enjoyed valued partnerships with bookmakers, and we are of course looking forward to the Ladbrokes Winter Carnival this month,” Julian Thick, CEO of Newbury Racecourse, said.

“This additional funding will be much valued by racecourses but it won’t plug the hole left by lost revenues from LBO closures for the next month. Make no mistake, racecourses are really suffering at the moment, and the return of crowds is absolutely critical to us operating but we are grateful for betting industry’s support throughout the difficulties of the Covid-19 crisis,” Julian Thick added.

The close collaboration is evidence of the betting and gaming industry’s determination to help racing through the crisis. The timely support comes as racing fights to deal with the financial impact of the ban on spectators and the closure of betting shops.

Michael Dugher, chief executive of the BGC, said: “There has always been a close relationship between betting and racing. So, with the Government’s ongoing Covid restrictions affecting the sport so severely, it’s welcome that bookmakers are stepping up to further support the sport.

“This extra funding for streaming and data rights will undoubtedly help racing’s finances for the next month and I’m delighted to see BGC members assisting the sport in this way.

“We will continue to make the case to the Government that betting shops should be allowed to re-open, in line with the rest of non-essential retail, once the national lockdown ends, and that socially-distanced crowds return to race meetings as soon as possible.

“I’m equally sure that the whole of racing will be making the case ahead of the Government’s gambling review that a healthy betting industry is critical to the future of the sport.”
