Market Dynamics Outlook

“Increasing Urbanization and the Changing Demand Patterns from Consumers Is Driving the Demand”

The increasing population in urban areas, the high standard of living, and the rising interest of people to add an aesthetic look to their homes and buildings have led to an increase in the demand for paints and coatings over the past few years.

This change in consumer behavior and the demand pattern is likely to act as a catalyst in the global decorative paints market. As a result of the changed consumer behavior manufacturers are supplying products as per consumers’ needs and preferences.

“Growing construction sector globally is driving the market growth”

The increasing construction activities are expected to fuel the growth of the paints and coatings market. As the developing and emerging economies are investing in infrastructure and development projects, the market of paints and coatings is likely to increase as a result of this change.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market for the construction industry because of the rising economies like China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam. According to Oxford Economics Asia Pacific is projected to account for US$ 7.4 trillion of global construction output by 2030.

The European housing market is also increasing as a result of favorable lending situations which is influencing the market growth.

“Environmental Regulations Pose a Barrier to Market Expansion of the Paintings and Coatings Market”

The strict environmental rules present a barrier to the growth of the paints and coatings business. New rules governing the raw materials they utilize and the production methods they use are being forced upon manufacturers.

Painting and coating processes are said to generate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. The amount of emissions from painting and coating operations in the United States is regulated by a number of bodies, including federal, state, and tribal laws.
