The market development of Coatings & Paint
The global paints and coatings market is valued at USD 160.03 billion in 2021. The market is expected to grow from USD 167.04 billion in 2022 to USD 235.06 billion by 2029.
Paints and coatings preserve and protect the substrates on which they are applied, saving material and energy. The sustainability aspect is routinely taken into account by companies when conducting their business activities. The emphasis is on reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), conserving resources, renewable materials, improving process efficiency and minimizing waste. For example, DSM offers Decovery, a plant-based resin for paint. Decovery’s ingredients are safe and low in VOCs to protect and improve outdoor and indoor air quality and reduce its carbon footprint by up to 34% by replacing crude oil. The company is thus focused on sustainable solutions and transforming the industry from solvent-based coatings to waste-based coatings.
Paints and coatings are primarily used to beautify and protect buildings and infrastructure. These architectural enhancements include interior and exterior paints, primers, sealers, varnishes and stains. Architectural paints provide reduced VOCs, odorless paints with increased scrub resistance, and are available in a variety of textures from solid to semi-gloss gloss.
Chemical Applications
Coating & Paint market trends
The construction industry will grow by about $8 billion by 2030. Increased construction activity and government investment in various public infrastructure projects are likely to support the market. In addition, advanced technologies are becoming standard in the construction industry. The increasing use of building information modeling (BIM) collaboration and cloud computing is another factor responsible for the growth of the construction industry.
The growth of the industry resulted in a huge demand for products in other applications, such as residential and commercial construction. In addition, these products are being boosted by applications such as wood, coils, automotive and transportation, and industrial metals, which will drive market growth.
