  Growing Requirements from the Architecture Sector to Accelerate Market Growth

  
  

Architectural coatings are used to adorn and safeguard surface elements. Homes and structures are coated with them. The majority are made specifically for one use, such deck finishes, wall paints, or roof coatings. Every architectural coating, regardless of use, needs to have specific protective, long-lasting, and attractive qualities. Moreover, architectural coatings are employed in commercial settings, including shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses, retail convenience stores, and residential structures. Sealers and specialist products are examples of such coatings that can be applied to interior and exterior surfaces. Furthermore, most homeowners like the color they choose for the walls in their living room and bedroom. As a result, acrylic paints are recommended since they provide an extensive range of color and tone options. Thus, the expansion of the building sector has made the Asia-Pacific area the largest market for architectural coatings. For instance, in the upcoming years, the Indian government is pushing for significant projects. By 2022, the government hopes to have more than 20 million affordable homes built for the urban poor under its Housing for All plan. This might give home building a big boost.

The coatings save energy and material resources by shielding and preserving the substrates that are painted over. Businesses regularly consider the sustainability factor when conducting their operations. Reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in relation to energy and resource conservation, process efficiency enhancement, renewable materials, and waste minimization are the main priorities. For instance, DSM provides paints using a vegetable resin called Decovery. By substituting crude oil, recovery ingredients have a lower carbon footprint—up to 34%—and are safe. They also have low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which enhance and safeguard both indoor and outdoor air quality. As a result, the business concentrates on eco-friendly solutions and changing the coatings sector from solvent-based to waste-based. Thus, driving the coatings market revenue.

In February 2024, Grasim Industries, the leading corporation of the Aditya Birla Group, entered the paint industry by introducing their eagerly awaited brand, Birla Opus. This action heightens competition in the decorative paints industry, which is presently controlled by prominent companies such as Asian Paints and Berger. The group, headquartered in Mumbai, has the objective of becoming a profitable second-ranking company in the near future. During the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM), Birla articulated the group's aspiration to attain a lucrative second place in the paints market in the upcoming years. As part of its marketing plan, the company is retailing its paint cans equipped with a QR code. By scanning the code, customers will be motivated to receive a 10% discount, while also providing the corporation with important data on the specific locations where the cans are being sold. In addition to Grasim, Pidilite and JSW have also just entered the market and are now competing with well-established companies such as Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac, and Akzo Nobel India. Collectively, these established businesses today dominate around 75% of the market.

Coatings Resin Type Insights

The Asia Pacific Coatings market segmentation, based on resin type, includes Acrylic, Alkyd, Polyurethane, Epoxy, Polyester, and Other Resin Types. The acrylic category generated the most income because of its flexibility, relative resistance, adhesion, and drying speed, which make it appropriate for use in paints and coatings. The primary driver of acrylic's demand is its increasing application in architectural coatings for windows, panels, and walls both inside and outside.

Coatings End-user Industry Insights

The Asia Pacific Coatings market segmentation, based on end-user industry, includes Architectural/Decorative, Automotive, Wood, Protective, General Industries, Transportation, and Packaging. The architectural/decorative category generated the most income. Coatings are mostly employed in architectural applications for ornamental reasons on residential and non-residential structures and buildings to shield them from environmental degradation and UV radiation. The market is expected to increase as a result of the increasing usage of these materials in a variety of industries, including automobile building.

Coatings Country Insights

Asia Pacific held a sizable portion of the market in 2022 and is likely to hold that position going forward. This is brought on by the expansion of the building and construction industry as well as the automobile industries in China, India, and Japan. The coatings are becoming more and more in demand since they are used to coat both residential and non-residential infrastructure. They work wonderfully for wall, window, and furniture decoration. China is the primary customer since the country's expanding population is propelling the rise of the residential building industry, which in turn is fueling the market's expansion. Moreover, their application in the automobile sector raises their market worth in the Asia-Pacific area. Furthermore, with a goal rate of 70% by 2030, China is actively supporting and enduring continuous urbanization. The need for more living spaces in urban areas due to urbanization and middle-class urban residents' desire to improve their living conditions could have a significant impact on the housing market and, as a result, increase the amount of residential construction done in the nation, which will benefit the market for coatings.
