GLOBAL PAINTS AND COATINGS MARKET DRIVERS:
- Rise of the automotive industry
According to the OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the overall production of vehicles has expanded by 10% in 2023 compared to the previous year. This number of vehicles produced was 93,546,599, out of which 67,133,570 are cars and 26,413,029 are commercial vehicles. These increases are from major economies of India, China, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. In the USA, the market has expanded by 6%; in the UK, the expansion was 17%; and in China, it has a 12% increase.
This major increase in vehicle production leads to the demand for paints and coatings in the automotive industry. The coatings are necessary for providing better looks and protecting the car's surface from heat and moisture. Vehicle production, especially electric vehicles, is projected to increase in the future, which would further contribute to the paint and coatings market growth.
- Increase in construction activities
The construction and building industry all across the world is showing significant growth. One of the major reasons for this industry's expansion is the growing urbanization worldwide. Urbanization causes the rapid industrialization of the country and region. The rate of urbanization in the developing part of the world is rising significantly. This includes constructing a large urban population, that is, parks, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, houses, buildings, etc., for living. The improvement of lifestyle The major part of urbanization is taking place in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa regions.
Coatings and paints retain gloss and provide chemical, UV, and corrosion resistance. The growth of the architectural coatings segment is also contributing to its growth. This is due to increased demand for low VOC coatings and the introduction of innovative technologies such as nanotechnology in coating products.

Global paints and coatings market key developments:
- In July 2024, AkzoNobel launched a new type of innovative powder coating technology to provide improved electrical protection for electric vehicle (EV) battery systems. This launch was in line with the demand for higher dielectric strength to help increase the safety of battery systems. The company's product has the solution to this challenge by creating a solution that requires film thickness with a single spray to increase efficiency and productivity. The ability to make a film with a one-time application also means that the production process becomes cheaper by increasing speed, reducing man hours, and improving asset utilization.
- In May 2024, PPG will build a new paint and coatings manufacturing facility in Tennessee. This would be a $300 million investment in advanced manufacturing in North America. The 250,000-square-foot facility could supply products for transportation, heavy-duty equipment, building and construction, and the consumer sectors.
- In February 2024, BASF Coatings signed an agreement with INEOS Automotive for its global body and paint program. BASF would help INEOS Automotive to make a body and paint program.
- In February 2024, Svenska Aerogel received an order for 3 tons of Quartzene from Novcoat, its French distributor. Customers would use the material in cool roof paint. The order had been planned for delivery in 2024, divided into four deliveries during the year. The value of the order was 96.8 KEUR. This order confirmed the large-scale application of Quartzene in cool roofs as an important application of our material.
- In February 2023, Aditya Birla Group announced the 40% addition to Industry Capacity. They announced the launch of products and services under its decorative paints brand, "Birla Opus". Birla Opus targets Rs 10,000 Cr revenue within 3 years. This is Aditya Birla Group's entry into the rapidly expanding Rs. 80,000 Cr Indian decorative paints market.
