Automotive and aerospace components are painted and coated with waterborne coatings in order to shield them from debris, corrosion, and other hazards. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) estimates that there were 57,054,295 passenger cars produced worldwide in 2021 compared to 55,834,456 in 2020. In 2021, South American automobile manufacturing increased by 11%, while US car production increased by 3.1%, according to the European Automobile Manufacturer Association. As a result, the demand for Waterborne Coatings would increase due to rising automotive and aerospace production, which would fuel the market for Waterborne Coatings during the forecast period. Buildings frequently use waterborne coatings on things like windows, walls, doors, floors, and more. Governments are taking steps to boost building and construction activities. To rebuild the larger terminal, for instance, Kansai International Airport in Japan would spend roughly 100 billion yen ($911 million) by 2025. The nation's No. 2 hub would have more room for overseas planes as a result. The Indian Union Budget of February 2020 sought to construct 100 new airports by 2024 as part of the Udan program, which was created by the Center to help with the expanding aviation traffic. The South African national health insurance indirect grant's renovation of health facilities has been given a medium-term budget of R4.6 billion. 50,000 crore (US$6.8 billion) has been allocated to India's Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MoHUA), and a fund of 25,300 crore (US$3.5 billion) has been established to aid in the completion of housing projects that have stagnated. During the forecast period, these government initiatives are expected to boost the demand for coatings in the construction industry and propel the expansion of the waterborne coatings market.Therefore, such condition has enhanced the Water-based coatings market CAGR across the globe in the recent years.
However, the growing demand for water-based coatings in automotive and electrical and electronics applications is another factor driving the growth of the Water-based coatings market revenue.March 2023: AkzoNobel announced that it has acquired the water-based coatings business of RPM International for $1.2 billion. This acquisition will strengthen AkzoNobel's position in the water-based coatings market and expand its reach into new applications.April 2023: PPG Industries announced that it has launched a new line of water-based coatings for the architectural market. These coatings are designed to be more environmentally friendly and have a lower VOC content than traditional solvent-based coatings.
The Water-based coatings market segmentation, based on product type, water-soluble paints, emulsions paints, and water-based alkyds. The water-based alkyds segment held the majority share in 2021 contribution to around ~45% in respect to the Water-based coatings market revenue. Water reducible alkyds are basically conventional alkyd resins (i.e., polyesters based on saturated or unsaturated oils or fatty acids, polybasic acids and alcohols) modified to confer water miscibility.
The Water-based coatings market segmentation, based on resin type, includes acrylic and polyurethane . The metal segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Due to acrylic coatings' outstanding color and gloss retention, great external durability in outdoor exposure, and rising demand from the infrastructure and automotive industries, it is projected that demand will rise. The key benefits of acrylic resins are their physical properties, cost, and ease of use. They have better moisture resistance, longer pot life than average, and good fungus resistance. The strength and ability to reduce monthly energy expenses are two of acrylic resin's key advantages. Therefore, all of these reasons would raise the demand for acrylic resins during the forecasted time. Hence, rising applications of for Water-based coatings positively impacts the market growth.
