Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Stainless Steel Protection Film market size was valued at US$ 604 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 902 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.0% during review period.
A stainless steel protection film is a temporary layer applied to stainless steel surfaces to protect them from scratches, dirt, corrosion, and other forms of damage during fabrication, transportation, installation, and construction. This film is typically made from polyethylene (PE) or similar plastics and can be clear or colored.
In 2025, global Stainless Steel Protection Film production reached approximately 2,346.44 million Sqm, with an average global market price of around US$ 0.25 per Sqm.
The upstream of the stainless steel protection film supply chain consists of basic chemical raw material suppliers, including providers of substrate resins (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride), acrylic ester adhesives, release paper, and functional additives (antistatic, weather-resistant, high-temperature resistant agents), as well as manufacturers of specialized production equipment such as coating machines and laminating machines, which provide core materials and production support for the midstream. The midstream involves stainless steel protection film manufacturers that undertake processes such as raw material proportioning, extrusion film-forming, adhesive coating, slitting and cutting, and performance testing. These manufacturers must comply with environmental protection policies to produce films of different specifications and functions, such as ultra-thin, high-temperature resistant, and anti-static types. The downstream connects to various links in the stainless steel industry chain, including stainless steel sheet producers, manufacturers of stainless steel products such as home appliances and sanitary ware, the construction and decoration industry, and new energy vehicle battery case producers.
The cost structure of stainless steel protection film is dominated by raw material costs, accounting for a total of 60%-70%. Among these, substrate resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene account for 42%-48%, acrylic ester adhesives account for 18%-22%, and functional additives will increase additional costs according to product positioning, such as anti-static and high-temperature resistant films. Due to the tightening of environmental policies, the penetration rate of environmentally friendly water-based adhesives is increasing, but their price is higher than that of traditional solvent-based products. The second largest component is production and processing costs, accounting for 15%-20%, covering equipment energy consumption, production line labor, equipment depreciation, and environmental protection technical transformation investment such as VOCs treatment equipment. R&D and testing costs account for 5%-8%, which are used to optimize product viscosity matching, improve weather resistance and wear resistance, and conduct compliance testing. The remaining 8%-12% is packaging and logistics costs (moisture-proof packaging, transportation losses) and operation and management costs.
