Paints and Coatings Additives Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The growing construction activities are notably driving the paints and coatings additives market growth, although factors such as regulations on high emissions of VOC may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the paints and coatings additives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Paints and Coatings Additives Market Driver
Growing construction activities is one of the major drivers impacting the paints and coatings additives market growth. The surging global population is fueling the demand for housing and other infrastructure. The highly reflective and seamless characteristics of architectural paints and coatings enhance their preference in construction applications. They are extensively used in interior and exterior finishing applications. Architectural paints and coatings such as acrylic coatings allow for the contraction and expansion of roofs and prevent water penetration during thermal expansion and contraction. The high durability and reflectivity of acrylic coatings make them cost-effective. Architectural paints and coatings possess strong reflectivity, which helps in lowering temperatures inside buildings and reducing the energy consumption of air conditioners. China and India are among the key developing countries in APAC that are witnessing rapid growth and infrastructure development, which is anticipated to aid in driving the growth of the global paints and coatings additives market during the forecast period.
Key Paints and Coatings Additives Market Trend
The potential application of nano-structured additives is one of the key trends influencing the paints and coatings additives market growth. Established vendors invest in R&D to increase their market shares through innovations. The use of nano-structured additives in paints and coatings technologies is a relatively new concept. Nano-structured additives in paints and coatings display self-healing properties which make them more effective for longer-term sustainability in harsh conditions. Nanotechnology as a sensing technology will be very helpful for the development of safer and more durable paints and coatings. Additionally, the application of nanotechnology helps in the safer operation of various industries, including transportation and electronics, as nano-structured additives in paints and coatings have improved UV stabilization and anti-microbial properties and help in resisting higher friction and roughness in electronic components. Such factors are expected to foster the growth of the global paints and coatings additives market during the forecast period.
Key Paints and Coatings Additives Market Challenge
Regulations on high emissions of VOC are one of the major challenges impeding the paints and coatings additives market growth. VOCs are found in solvent-based paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives, organic solvents, pigments, Emulsifiers, and other petroleum products. The release of VOCs causes air pollution and smog into the environment. In January 2021, regulations were implemented for paints and coating manufacturing companies to limit the amount of VOC content released from the above-mentioned products in the US. The regulation framed by the US EPA prescribed the limits for vapor pressure and carbon atom content in chemical products, such as paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants used in various industries. The Solvent Emissions Directive (SED) prescribes thresholds of paints and coating compounds for solvents in Europe. In the case of paints and coating additives, high solid material with a low concentration of solvent should not exceed the threshold. The threshold for paints and coating additives is five tons per year. If a factory exceeds this limit, indicating that 8,000 liters of solvent-based paints and coatings additives have been consumed, it will be fined by the European government. Thus, stringent regulations and policies are anticipated to pose challenges to paints and coatings additive manufacturers and end-users during the forecast period.
This paints and coatings additives market analysis report also provide detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
