A Bonafide Research industry report provides in-depth market analysis, trends, competitive insights, and strategic recommendations to help businesses make informed decisions.
Paints and coatings are one of the most strictly regulated industries and have gone through lot of changes in the past few years. Consumer preference and pollution regulations from authorities will continue to be the driving force behind the market growth over the next few years. Several governments have been focusing on limiting hazardous air pollutants (HPA), and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in both architectural, and industrial areas. Rising solvent and raw material costs (50-60% of the total costs), and growing significance of energy conservation are also the key factors shaping up the paints and coatings industry. Transitional and emerging economies are especially projected to drive noteworthy demand for paints and coatings in future. The waterborne segment dominated the global market accounting largest market share in the year 2022. Rising spending in the construction industry along with the shifting consumer preference for environment-friendly products expected to influence the growth of the segment over the analysis period. Water-based paints & coatings are largely used in poorly and confined ventilated spaces. Water-based coatings dry faster compared to solvent-based products owing to the fast evaporation of water content from the coating layer. However, the solvent-borne coatings segment estimated to register slower growth rate compared to other types of products because of stringent government regulations for the products having high Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content. Moreover, increasing application of solvent-based coatings for architectural and industrial purposes due to less time taken to dry as well as better functionality in humid and open environment projected to propel the growth of the segment over the upcoming period.
The architectural and decorative segment is anticipated to grow with prominent CAGR by 2023-28. Growing construction activities and significant development of rail and road infrastructure in various developing and developed countries, such as the U.S., India, China, Germany, the U.K., and European countries, are expected to drive the product demand in the segment over the forecast period. The emerging region, such as the Asia Pacific and MEA, has witnessed strong growth in non-residential sectors, including FMCG, IT, telecom, and retail, resulting in increased demand for coatings. An increasing number of FMCG companies in India, China, and Singapore are expected to augment the market share of architectural & decorative paints and coatings in the near future. In addition, rapid industrialization, increasing government infrastructure spending, and increasing FDI is expected to boost the segment growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the market growth in the building and construction sector. Stoppage of all construction projects, movement restriction, production halt, and shortages of labour to contain the COVID-19 outbreak has led to a decline in the growth of the construction industry, which, in turn, is anticipated to hamper the demand for paints and coatings in the architectural and decorative applications in the near future.
Smart coatings are capable of changing their characteristics in response to external stimuli like temperature and electric field. They offer numerous benefits in a variety of other applications, including mending damaged oil and gas platforms and aircraft engines, and are increasingly used in commercial applications. Smart coatings have been more popular recently since people are ready to pay higher costs for them due to their self-cleaning, self-healing, and self-stratifying qualities. Consequently, the market for paints and coatings is heading toward an increased acceptance of these solutions. Nanotechnology is one new area of interest, with tens of thousands of patents already been awarded for the coatings sector alone. In highly specialized applications, very minute ceramic or metallic particles can be added to paint compositions to change certain attributes, such as scratch, abrasion, wear, corrosion, and UV resistance. Nanoparticles typically range in size from 10 to 70 nano-meters and have fewer than 6.5 million atoms in them. These sizes result in large surface area to mass ratios, which endow the particles with distinctive features. For instance, at 2 nano-meters, metal particle conductivity changes, while at 20 nano-meters, ceramic particle transparency changes. Gold particles lose their flexibility and turn red at a wavelength of 20 nano-meters.
