Cosmo Consumer Expands Automotive Protection Business with Ceramic Coating Launch

Cosmo Consumer Enters Automotive Ceramic Coating Sector

Cosmo First Limited's consumer-facing division, Cosmo Consumer, officially expanded its automotive protection portfolio through the launch of Cosmo Guard, an advanced nano-ceramic coating solution designed for vehicle surface protection. This strategic introduction complements the division's existing product lineup, which includes paint protection films (PPF) and window films.

Expansion & Strategy

Cosmo Guard is engineered to provide superior automotive surface protection. The comprehensive, R&D-backed system includes advanced ceramic coatings alongside specialized rubbing and polishing compounds designed to ensure optimal surface preparation. Ceramic coatings are engineered to deliver enhanced surface protection, superior gloss, and long-term durability. Utilizing a polishing compound can elevate surface gloss levels from 75–85 gloss units (GU) to 92–98 GU, while simultaneously enhancing the Distinction of Image (DOI) by reducing surface roughness.

According to Towards Chemicals And Materials Analytics and Consulting, the surface treatment chemicals market size was valued at USD 16.85 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 17.95 billion in 2026, further projected to grow to USD 31.78 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 6.55% during 2026–2035. In volume terms, the market is anticipated to expand from 20.44 million tons in 2025 to 37.13 million tons by 2035 at a CAGR of 6.15%. as the adoption of eco-friendly, low-VOC-based coatings is increasing across various sectors.

Automotive & Aerospace Demand Accelerates the Surface Treatment Chemicals Market

• High-performance coatings are needed to enhance durability, paint adhesion, and corrosion resistance in transportation vehicles.
• Stringent environmental regulations are propelling the adoption of sustainable alternatives such as non-toxic plating and water-based coatings.
