Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand from construction industry

Construction involves various activities, including alteration and repair of residential, non-residential, commercial, and infrastructural constructions. China, the US, and India will contribute up to 57% to this overall growth of the industry during forecasted years. This growth is attributed to the economic recovery in the major economies. Improvement in the standard of living, rise in disposable income, and growing trends in interior decoration also drive the per capita paint consumption. These factors are positively influencing the growth of the decorative paints market.

Restraint:

Stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies

Potential changes in regulations can create uncertainty throughout the value chain. Regulatory policies have a significant impact on the paints industry. This uncertainty refers to the time taken by the manufacturers at each node to accept the new regulation and adopt new technology. Different time-consuming regulatory changes in different regions can affect the raw material producers, formulators, channel partners, and end-users. With the increasing number of governments implementing stringent regulatory policies, decorative paints producers must constantly evolve their processes to comply with the new policies and reduce VOC emissions.

Opportunity:

Growing investments in emerging markets

Emerging economies are investing in large-scale infrastructure development projects. The markets in these economies are witnessing higher growth compared to the markets in North America and Europe. This is attributed to the leading companies investing heavily in these regions as there is a tremendous opportunity. APAC, especially China and India, provides remarkable growth opportunities for decorative coatings manufacturers. Rapid urbanization, a stable economy, and a growing construction industry have fueled the demand for decorative paints in some APAC countries. More residential buildings are being constructed in the region to meet the needs of the growing population in major cities of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and other countries.

Threat:

Volatility in prices of titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an essential ingredient in the manufacturing of decorative paints. TiO2 comprises 20–30% of the total expenditure on raw materials. There are many global suppliers for TiO2, and there is no substitute available for this ingredient. TiO2 pigments are traded internationally; however, the fluctuations in the price of TiO2 have increased in both amplitude and frequency in the last decade. These frequent changes in the prices make it difficult for the customers to plan their spending and affect their profit margin.

Covid-19 Impact

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemical industry and have negatively impacted the growth of the decorative paints market. The outbreak distorted operational efficiency and disrupted the value chains due to the sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries in 2020. Construction activities across India took a massive hit due to lockdown and other restrictive measures. As per the latest update by the Statistics Ministry, the construction projects in the country are running behind schedule by an average of 3.5 years. Moreover, the cost of ~1,682 ongoing infrastructure projects has surged by USD 54 trillion. However, industrial operations in many countries are resuming gradually with governments taking precautionary measures and mandating safety measures at workplaces. They are also focusing on boosting the rate of vaccination. Thus, with the resumption of activities in several industries, including the construction industry, the demand for decorative paints is expected to rise in different regions of the world in the coming months.

The acrylic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The acrylic segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Acrylic resins are thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and other related compounds. Thermosetting acrylic resins are typically copolymers of acrylic or methacrylate esters and a hydroxyl-functionalized acrylic ester. The hydroxyl-functionalized monomer provides a site for crosslinking. In thermoplastic resins, the polymers do not contain any reactive group as polymer chains are not crosslinked.

The residential sector segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The residential sector segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period projected to grow at a rapid rate in the potential market in the years to come. This is due to increasing investments and government initiatives for construction activities in developed and developing countries. Moreover, the growth in the trend of DIY among consumers will propel the consumption of residential applications. Fast expansion in urbanization along with a high standard of living and escalating consumer preferences for showing an architectural touch in residential buildings has promoted the urge for decorative paints in the last years.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to rapidly growing disposable income of the middle class families, adoption of westernized culture and mandatory rapid construction housing enormous population especially in major economies like India and China. According to the analyst, APAC region relishes a major 44% share under its own territory of the global decorative paints market demand. With India and China hosting nearly 35% of the global population, such dominance is inevitable due to the robust commercial and residential sector construction. Asian Paints is one of the leading the market players in the APAC region. Indian market in this region exhibits tremendous purchasing capacity of decorative paints. Decorative paints account for 75% of the overall paint market in India.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. In the North American region, the U.S. decorative paints market is expected to grow by 4.1% year-on-year. Revenue generated in the market will be pushed by a high rebound in construction projects. Moreover, growth in the construction of residential and commercial buildings will continue pushing demand for decorative paints. Environmental friendly and low VOC paint products will dominate the market. Driven by implementation of stringent regulations and changing consumer preference, sales of low VOC paints are expected to pick up in the U.S.
