Paints & Coatings Market Segmentation

The worldwide paints and coatings market is split based on resin, product, application, and geography.

Paints & Coatings Resins

  • Acrylic
  • Alkyd
  • Epoxy
  • Polyurethane
  • Polyester
  • Others

According to paints & coatings industry analysis, acrylic resin dominated the market in 2022. This is due to its weatherproof properties, making it ideal for outdoor applications. Acrylic resin can last for decades without yellowing when exposed to sunlight and provides excellent gloss and mechanical properties, such as scratch resistance, which enhances the shine of the paint. Epoxy resin has gained popularity in the automotive sector due to its compatibility with trending fiber components. Acrylic powder coatings offer a high-performance finish with outstanding weather resistance and high-gloss colors, making them ideal for outdoor applications with excellent exterior durability. These coatings range from thin-film clear coats to very smooth coatings and are typically water-based, easy to handle, moderately priced, and offer superior performance across a wide variety of applications such as roof and wall coatings. They cure through water evaporation, providing a reasonable degree of cohesive strength and excellent adhesion to most roof surfaces.

Paints & Coatings Products

  • Waterborne
  • High solids/radiation curing
  • Powder
  • Solventborne
  • Others

Waterborne coatings dominate the paint and coatings market and are expected to maintain their dominance throughout the forecast period due to their eco-friendly nature. These coatings are followed in popularity by solvent-borne coatings and powder coatings. However, stringent regulations concerning VOCs will hinder the growth of the solvent-borne coatings market in the forecast period. Powder coatings are anticipated to grow at a moderate rate due to their advantages, such as zero VOC emissions, easy rework of workpieces, and the ability to reuse powder.

Paints & Coatings Applications

  • Architectural & Decorative
  • Non-Architectural
    • Automotive & Transportation
    • Wood
    • General Industrial
    • Marine
    • Protective
    • Others

The architectural and decorative category leads the paints and coatings market due to its widespread application in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. This market category includes interior and outdoor paints for walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces, as well as decorative finishes such as textured coatings, wallpapers, and stains. Architectural and decorative coatings are necessary for both aesthetic and protective objectives, providing visual appeal while protecting structures from external elements such as rain, moisture, and UV radiation. The segment's expansion is being driven by increased urbanization, rising income levels, and a growing tendency towards house maintenance and renovation. Consumers want a variety of colors, finishes, and eco-friendly solutions, which drives producers to create new, high-quality coatings that fulfill these different tastes and regulatory requirements.
