Paints and Coatings Market

Global Paints and Coatings Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the global paint and coatings market was worth USD 202,586 million in 2023. The global market is further anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.45% from 2024 to 2029 and be worth USD 311,779 million by 2029 from USD 217,678 million in 2024.

Paints and coatings are composed of organic or inorganic resins and are inseparable in industrial sectors. They are used to impart a bright and decorative finish to the surface of a product, such as a component of metal, equipment, walls, etc. These coatings are applied to the surface to improve the durability and performance of the product. They offer excellent adhesion and high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, which makes them favorable in a wide range of applications.

MARKET DRIVERS

The fast pace of industrial advancement, rising number of end-use businesses, and escalating interest of the worldwide population in architecture are driving the global paints and coatings market. There is a vast untapped industry for the construction industry in developing nations that has been escalating each year due to the rising worldwide population. These factors are developing calls for construction materials involving paints and coatings. The rising population and per capita income have been boosting the call for customer goods and automotive which in turn is fuelling industrialization. The employment of metals has also escalated to a high degree in the past 10 years. Paints and coatings are majorly used to protect machines and devices from rusting and corrosion in businesses.

As for customer goods, they serve the use of keeping corrosion at bay and making products look better. Architectural and decorative paints and coatings are employed majorly applied to the interior and exterior walls of houses and corporate buildings. Some of the new innovations that nanotechnology has initiated the formulators involve products that can conduct electricity or show UV protective or self-healing properties. Besides these, they are also very resistant to scratch, mar wear, and corrosion. Therefore, these developments in technology and the introduction of the latest products are estimated to fuel future expansion across the paints and coatings industry in the foreseen period. The escalating population across the globe and the rising number of nuclear families supports the call for new houses every year which in turn creates a call for paints and coatings. The rising industry for customer goods and automobiles is also propelling the expansion of the paints and coatings industry. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The general raw materials employed for the making of paints and coatings involve resins, pigments, liquids, and additives. The increasing price of these raw materials is leading to additional funds on the part of paint and coating makers. In the last few years, the costs of raw materials, involving titanium dioxide and epoxy, have escalated highly across the world, forcing the dominating producers of coatings and paints to increase the costs of their product offerings. Hence, the increase in raw material costs hinders the expansion of the paints and coatings market to the next level. The paints & coatings industry has been facing several environmental challenges with the escalating focus on observing state and local rules for wastewater discharge. Powder coating operations have a notable number of metals, oil & grease, and suspended solids in their wastewater streams initiated during cleaning and pretreatment stages. Metal finishing firms that utilize different electroplating procedures have been facing the problem of adhering to rules owing to heavy metal contamination.
