Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Surging demand for water-borne coatings is notably driving the market growth. Water-borne coatings offer various advantages and are vastly used in automobiles, buildings and construction, marine, oil and gas, metallurgy, and metal forming, among others. They are relatively more cost-effective than solvent-borne coatings and do not require additives, thinners, or hardeners. Similarly, as compared with other variants, relatively low quantities of waterborne coatings are required for covering a surface area. As a result, the demand for water-borne coat is increasing at a significant rate which also had an influence on the market growth. Waterborne coatings are emerging as the coating technology is experiencing high innovation in the general industrial segment.
Furthermore, electrocoating is one of the leading waterborne technologies and is used as the first line of corrosion protection on cars and light commercial vehicle bodies in automotive OEMs. Prominent companies of the market are using waterborne surfaces and colour basecoats, which is driving the demand in the market during the forecast period.
Extension plans by vendors to enhance capacity is one of the emerging market trends. One of the positive trends in the market is the proliferation of industrial coating manufacturing and storage facilities. Such market expansion enables companies to advance their market share. Moreover, such a growing industry has encouraged significant companies to opt for the expansion of their industrial coating manufacturing and storage facilities regionally.
For instance, Berger Paints is also investing in setting up a new paints and coats manufacturing unit in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, to enhance its market presence. Such developments are anticipated to intensify the market presence of companies by enabling them to deliver various portfolios of products in the market. Therefore, such factors are likely to fuel the growth during the forecast period.
Volatile raw material prices are a significant challenge hindering market growth. Petrochemical feedstock required for manufacturing most coatings includes binders and solvents such as polyesters, alcohols, and epoxy resins. The basic raw materials used for producing binders are crude oil and natural gas. Volatility in crude oil prices will have a direct influence on the cost of feedstock. Moreover, due to the mechanical adhesion techniques, propylene cannot be used on metal surfaces such as stainless steel and gold. Such factors pose a challenge in identifying materials for specific substrates, which will hinder the growth. Many industrial coatings crack, especially during the curing or drying processes.
However, the cracks can change the shape during the drying process and put pressure on the overall coating. A large number of coats can lead to uneven drying, which can cause cracks. Therefore, the compatibility of the material and cracking will negatively affect the market during the forecast period.

The waterborne segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Waterborne coatings contain maximum water as a solvent to disperse a resin. Other solvents, such as glycol ethers, are added in significantly small quantities to industrial coats manufactured using waterborne technology, which makes them eco-friendly and easy to apply. Also, these coatings are low in VOC content. Therefore, the adoption of waterborne technology in industrial coatings has increased, which will have a positive impact on the market.

The waterborne segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 15.48 billion in 2017. Waterborne-based coatings take longer to dry as it is dependent on various environmental factors such as temperature, airflow, and humidity. In comparison, solvent-based coatings dry much faster. However, solvent-based coatings release harmful fumes while drying. Waterborne coatings can also release fumes if mixed with reducers, but in lesser quantities compared to solvent-based coatings. Regional vendors have expanded their presence by investing in waterborne technology to manufacture industrial coatings which resulted in the market expansion. The increasing preference for waterborne technology in industrial coatings is expected to drive steady growth of the segment in focus during the forecast period.
The market experiences significant growth driven by the construction and oil and gas industries, bolstered by robust consumer spending. Innovations like nanotechnology propel advancements, leading to zero or low-VOC formulations and nano paints and coatings, suitable for ceramics or metals. These coatings offer UV protection, self-healing properties, and superior adhesion, ideal for various applications, including electricity, furniture, and automobiles.
Water-borne categories dominate, offering eco-friendly options for confined spaces. UV categories find favor in the aerospace industry for rapid curing and long shelf-life. These coatings cater to industrial finishing areas, wood, automotive, wire, packaging, metal decorative, and architectural coatings, renowned for high hardness and abrasion resistance.
