Paint Spray Guns Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product Type [High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP), Low Volume Low Pressure (LVLP), Electrostatic, Airless, Pneumatic], Technology (Automatic, Manual), End-use Industry (Automotive, Construction, Manufacturing, Others), and Region

The global paint spray guns market was valued at US$ 1.5 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to US$ 2.3 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.


A paint spray gun is equipment used for applying paint to a surface. Unlike the paintbrush and roller, a paint spray gun uses external pressure to transform the paint into fine particles and direct them toward the surface as a spray. A typical paint spray gun constitutes a flow regulator, airhead, nozzle, and paint tank. The spray nozzle operates by impinging high-velocity turbulent air on the surface of filaments or films of liquid, causing them to collapse into droplets with a wide range of sizes. Spray guns are available as stationary equipment for painting automobiles, furniture, and appliances.

Market Drivers and Trends

The automobile sector is witnessing a considerable rise to paint vehicles, and automobile manufacturers predominantly use paint spray guns. Thus, a rise in the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the paint spray gun market. Similarly, the building construction sector is witnessing a rise worldwide due to the increasing population. Since paint spray guns are used widely in painting walls, the growing demand in the construction sector is anticipated to drive the demand for paint spray guns. Further, the manufacturing sector is also witnessing a rise, owing to the rise in disposable income of people around the world. In addition, consumer durables are anticipated to witness growth at a significant rate. The manufacturing sector uses paint spray guns to paint the products, owing to much-desired advantages, such as quick painting and blemish-free surface finish. Thus, the manufacturing sector's rise is anticipated to positively influence the paint spray gun market. Hence, rising demand from end-use industries boosts market growth.

Market Restraints and Challenges

Although paint spray guns have several benefits, still some of the end users prefer its alternative, named paint rollers, over paint spray guns due to multiple factors. Firstly, if the user has never used a paint spray gun before, then it might not be easy for the first time. Beginners often experience drips, uneven coverage, runs, and get paint all over the place. Achieving an even coat with a paint sprayer takes a lot of trial and error. Secondly, paint sprayers use about 33% more paint than rollers, according to the article published by Acton Media Inc. in April 2021. Rolling paint is a budget-friendly way to go for a fraction of the cost. All roller items are inexpensive compared to the purchase and maintenance of a paint sprayer. Therefore, paint sprayers are fast, expensive, involve time-consuming prep, and are not the best option for beginners because of the learning curve. On the other hand, paint rollers offer more control and use less paint, but they sacrifice speed. Hence, paint spray guns alternative, paint rollers, create challenges for the global paint spray guns market.
