Decorative coatings are one type of paint or coating material that is used for improving the physical strength and aesthetic appeal of the surfaces where it is applied. These are used for coating on metal objects and plastic materials. These are also used as a colorant and protectant for metal, wooden, and concrete structures against chalking, bleaching, and general deterioration. It protects the buildings from harsh weather and external conditions like extreme temperature, UV radiation, acid rain, and foreign particles.
Moreover, these coatings have various applications and among them, the major application is enhancing the visual appeal of substrates in coating walls, ceilings, furniture, and wooden flooring of the buildings. The major application of the decorative coatings market is the construction industry. According to the United States Census Bureau report, construction spending has increased from US$ 788,322 million to US$ 1,293,982 million between 2011 to 2018 in the US.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the decorative coatings market is negatively impacted and this slowdown is expected to continue for the next couple of years. To curb the spread of the coronavirus, most of the country’s governments have imposed various regulations like lockdowns, shutdowns of manufacturing industries & educational sectors, transportation bans, etc. Due to these shutdown factors, the global decorative coatings market once-thriving with increased investment was suddenly affected drastically.
The manufacturing industries are facing many issues like lack of labor, shortage of raw materials, supply chain bottlenecks of materials & bottleneck that may lead to a delay in the project’s production for the ongoing funded projects that may result in the reduction of investments in the upcoming projects. As the production is paused for some days, companies are dealing with missing sales and supply disrupted chains to return their investment and increase their demand over the market. Rapidly, after reducing the corona cases, the demand over the decorative coatings industry market accelerates.
Rapid growth in Human Development Index (HDI), growing demand for dazzling colors that are in resonance with environmental regulations, rise in expenditure on construction activities are the few prominent market trends that increase the growth of the decorative coatings market. The growing population and the necessity to lodge the expanding population are some of the major driving factors that accelerate the demand for the decorative coatings market.
Growing renovation and colorants customization coupled with growing disposable income in the emerging economies is anticipated to accelerate the decorative coatings market growth during the forecast period.
Stringent regulations by various country’s governments have restricted the use of toxic organic chemicals that are used in the production of decorative coatings. Hence, these coatings are restraining the growth of the market. Apart, variation in raw material prices which includes epoxy, acrylic, alkyd, and titanium dioxide is hindering the market growth.
The advanced technologies that include Nano TiO2 photocatalysts, green coatings, and the introduction of methods to reduce the drying time may create an opportunity to escalate the demand for decorative coatings during the assessment period. The rise in the R & D investments coupled with ongoing product development that improves the performance of the product is boosting the market growth in the coming seven years.
Harmful environmental effects due to solvent-borne coatings may serve as a major challenge over the next seven years.
The global decorative coatings market revenue has been divided into segments based on technology, type, application, and region.
