  Construction Sector's Rapid Expansion Will Boost Market Growth

  
  

The main purposes of paints and coatings are to adorn and safeguard infrastructures and buildings. Interior and exterior house paints, primers, sealers, varnishes, and stains are some of these architectural improvements. Architectural paints are available in several textures, from matte to semi-gloss sheens, and enable lower-VOC, odorless paints with greater scrub resistance. Architectural paints are available in various textures, from matte to semi-gloss sheens, and enable lower-VOC, odorless paints with greater scrub resistance. By 2030, the construction sector is anticipated to rise by over USD 8 trillion. The industry is projected to be supported by a rise in building work and government spending on public infrastructure projects. Additionally, cutting-edge technology is increasingly becoming commonplace in the construction sector. Another reason for expanding the construction sector is the growing usage of cloud computing and collaborative building information modeling (BIM).

In both developed and developing economies, including the United States, China, India, and others, where paints and coatings are used for flooring, wall finishing, and roofing applications, a rise in population coupled with rapid urbanization has sped up the growth of the architecture and construction sector. For instance, according to a study released by the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, infrastructure-related operations made up 13% of all FDI inflows in 2021. As a result, the expanding architecture and construction sector is anticipated to increase demand for paints and coatings. Furthermore, the automotive industry has seen significant growth in the use of paints and coatings for corrosion protection applications in under-the-hood parts, engine components, interiors of containers, and storage vessels due to factors like increased disposable income, technological advancements, and the growth of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In India, for instance, 26.36 million vehicles will be produced between 2016 and 2020, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.36%, according to research released by the India Brands Equity Foundation.

The European Commission and other Federal government organizations develop new laws and regulations, such as the Eco-product Certification Scheme (ECS). These standards guarantee a green and sustainable environment with little to no toxic VOC emissions. The National Referral Centre for Lead Projects in India (NRCLPI), the Quality Council of India (QCI), and the Pollution Control Board Authorities strongly advised the Government of India (GOI) to fix lead content below 90 ppm for all decorative and household paints. As a result, the regulations on lead control in households and Paints & Coatings were put into place in 2016. These restrictions encourage paints and coatings producers to spend money on bio-based raw ingredients for their products, making paints and coatings more environmentally friendly. However, in recent years, significant advances and innovations have enhanced the Paints and coatings industry to cater to the demand.

Paints and coatings Resin Insights

The paints and coatings market segmentation, based on Resin type, includes Acrylic, Alkyd, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Polyester, Fluoropolymer, Polyether Etherketone (PEEK), Polyether Ketone (PEK), Polyaryl Etherketone (PAEK) and others. The acrylic category, which accounted for the largest share of the worldwide market for paints and coatings by resin type, is projected to expand at the highest CAGR of 5.1% throughout the forecast period. This is explained by the fact that acrylic paints have several benefits, including short drying times, water solubility, low toxicity, safety around children and pets, and flexibility and durability.

Paints and coatings Application Insights

Based on application, the paints and coatings market segmentation includes Architectural and Industrial. By application, the architectural segment was the largest revenue generator and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that governments of developing economies, such as China, India, and others, have increased spending on the development of townships, housing, built-up infrastructure, and construction of development projects where paints and coatings are widely used for exterior and interior coating applications.
