Paints and Coatings Market Analysis, By Demand, By Region, By Applications and Forecast Report Till 2032

Paints and Coatings Market Forecast:

The Paints and Coatings market is projected to grow from 150.33 million tons in 2023 to approximately more than 190 million tons by 2032, at a CAGR of 2.8%. with Asia-Pacific leading the global demand with 55% consumption. China alone accounts for one-third of the global Paints and Coatings demand. Other important regions include North America and Western Europe accounting for 33% of the global demand. Asia Pacific will remain the leading consumer of Paints and Coatings during the forecast period and will further increase its global dominance.

Decorative coatings account for a major share of 45% of global consumption followed by industrial & protective coating. In terms of base material used, water-based coatings dominate the Paints and Coatings market with 51% global consumption. Solvent-based coatings are also a major part of the Paints and Coatings industry accounting for around 45% of the global Paints and Coatings market. Powder-based and other types constitute 4% of the global market.

In the forecast period, solvent-based coatings are expected to grow at a slower rate on account of strict environmental regulations regarding the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in developed as well as developing countries. On the other hand water and powder-based Paints and Coatings are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4-5% during the forecast period globally.

Paints and Coatings Demand Analysis:

Paints and Coatings are manufactured using raw materials such as polymer resins, pigments & fillers, additives, and solvents. In terms of raw material type required, resins account for around 45% followed by pigments and fillers with 30% of the global paints and coatings demand. Resins used for the production of paints and coatings are acrylic, urethane, alkyd, and epoxy which act as binders in the paint industry. Solvent comprises around 20% and constitutes alcohols, esters, ketones, glycols, and glycol ethers. Oxygenated solvents have a higher demand in paints and coatings formulations with more than 50% demand in paints and coatings products. Sub-segments of additives used in Paints and Coatings include rheology modifiers, surfactants, biocides, foam control, and others.

Major types of paints and coatings included the Prismane Consulting's Global Paints and Coatings- 2019 World Analysis are decorative coatings, industrial coatings, marine coatings, polyurethane coatings, powder coatings, wood coating, optical coating, and textile coatings. Protective coatings are used in diverse industrial markets to protect metal, concrete structures, and surfaces from tough environmental conditions and exposure to other chemicals including acids, alkalis, and solvents. The primary function of these coatings is to protect the substrate against corrosion and erosion. Besides this, some of the coatings also offer an excellent aesthetic appearance to the substrates.

Thermal insulation coatings have been growing at a faster pace and are applied to different surfaces to form a protective finish and provide resistance to heat. It has low conductivity towards heat which reduces heat loss in various equipment, thus improving their performance. Developments in manufacturing, automobile, industrial sectors, and nanotechnology are expected to influence the market positively. Moreover, an increase in demand from the aerospace, defense, marine, and transportation sectors will also support the growth of Paints and Coatings. Increasing production of automobiles in the Asia-Pacific region has driven the overall paints and coating market in the region.
