Growth of Paints & Coatings Industry Fuel North America Wax Emulsion Market

Paints & coatings are used for decorative purposes and enhancing surface properties such as corrosion resistance, scratch-resistance, adhesion, appearance, and water resistance. Paints & coatings are increasingly used in end-use industries such as construction, furniture, packaging, automotive & transportation, and other industrial applications. Wax emulsions are an integral component of paints & coatings. Polyethylene wax emulsions are used in aqueous coatings due to their characteristics such as physical stability, fine particle size, anti-scuff properties, waterproofing, gloss, and ease of handling. Wax emulsions are also used in wood polishes and finishes and outdoor timber treatment. Wax emulsions render wood with abrasion resistance, waterproofing, and anti-blocking properties. It also finds application in metal components and automotive coatings. The growing global sales of electric vehicles drive the demand for high-performance coatings and electrical insulating coatings. According to the International Energy Agency, the electric car market has witnessed exponential growth in the past few years, with reported global sales of more than 10 million electric cars in 2023.

According to the US Census Bureau, the total construction spending in the US accounted for US$ 740.8 billion during the first five months of 2023. The investment was spent on the development of offices, commercial spaces, transportation, highways, and streets. The growth in the global construction industry propels the demand for architectural paints & coatings. According to the American Coatings Association report published in February 2023, in 2021, the US coatings industry shipped architectural coatings worth more than US$ 14 billion; industrial OEM coatings worth US$ 8.7 billion; and special purpose coatings such as marine paints, military-specified coatings, and automotive refinish paints worth US$ 4 billion. Thus, growth in the paints & coatings industry fuels the wax emulsion market.

North America Wax Emulsion Market Overview


Wax emulsions are used in paints & coatings to enhance the surface properties of materials, such as abrasion resistance, water resistance, and durability. In the automotive industry, polyethylene wax is used in non-built detergent systems for polishing applications. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, North America registered a production of 14.79 million vehicles in 2023. As per a report by the American Automotive Policy Council, car sales are expected to exceed 17.7 million vehicles per year by 2025. According to the International Trade Administration data released in 2023, the automotive industry is one of the major sectors of Mexico, accounting for 3.5% of the country's GDP and 20% of the manufacturing gross domestic production. Therefore, the increasing automotive production is driving the demand for paints & coatings. According to the American Coatings Association, architectural coatings are the largest sector and segment of the paint industry in the US, accounting for more than 50% of the total volume of coatings produced annually. According to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, the US Government signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021, encompassing long-term infrastructure investment, providing US$ 550 billion over fiscal years 2023-2026 for the construction of roads, bridges, and mass transit, and water infrastructure. North American manufacturers are focusing on research and development to improve the functionality and performance of industrial coatings. Industrial coatings are included in finishes and polishes used for automobiles, packaging, transport equipment, appliances, furniture, and building products. The region also marks the presence of major packaging companies, namely International Paper Co, Westrock Co, Berry Global Group, Ball Corp, and Crown Holdings Inc. Thus, the factors mentioned above are expected to drive the demand for the wax emulsion market in North America during the forecast period.
