The key use of the surface treatment process is to create wear and tear-resistance products or to alter the physical and electrical properties of the surface. Due to this property, a lot of products benefit from the surface treatment process such as Electrical Vehicle, mobile devices, and electronic components. These products are on the rise around the world and are in high demand, hence the rise in demand for surface treatment services. For the Asian market, due to the current situation in Ukraine and the global warming policy in Europe, we can see the moment of the demand shift to more production plans in Asia especially Southeast Asia (ASEAN) and India sub-continent.
