The water-based segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 73.65 billion in 2018. Moreover, these water paints are meant to provide protection against corrosion and aesthetics to the surfaces on which they are applied. In addition, water-based paints have a low content of volatile organic compounds. Therefore, they are predominantly used in developed countries, such as the US, Germany, the UK, and France, for coating purposes in the automotive and architecture industries. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market during the forecast period.
Based on resin type, the market has been segmented into acrylic resins, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, alkyd resins, and others. The acrylic resins segment will account for the largest share of this segment. Acrylic resins, also referred to as acrylic elastomer coatings, are highly molecular-weight resins that are typically derived from acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and other substances. In addition, the intrinsic durability of acrylic provides an advantage to acrylic resins, as they are designed to be highly elastic and flexible over a broad temperature range. Hence, such factors are fuelling this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.

The market experiences robust growth driven by the expansion of the real estate and construction sector. This demand extends to various segments, including exterior and interior wall paints, wood finishes, enamels, automotive, marine, packaging, and powder coatings. A notable trend in the market is the growing emphasis on bio-based and eco-friendly products, reflecting the industry's commitment to sustainable development.
However, challenges arise from the increasing use of glass in buildings, which reduces the demand for traditional coatings on surfaces. To address this, innovations such as low-solvent and solventless technology, thin-film powder coatings, and protective coatings made from polyurethane resins, fluoropolymers, and polyvinylidene difluoride are being developed. Multinationals in the coatings industry are focusing on consolidation to strengthen their market position and meet evolving consumer demands. Despite challenges, the paints and coatings market remains dynamic, driven by innovation, sustainability, and the ever-expanding construction sector.
The expansion of the real estate and construction sector is prominently fueling market growth. This growth has led to an upsurge in office spaces, commercial complexes, and residential buildings globally. Consequently, there's an increased demand for paints & coatings, particularly architectural paints and coatings, which find wide usage in construction and structural applications. These coatings encompass a range of functionalities, including abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, meeting the diverse needs of the construction industry. Moreover, the market witnesses a growing adoption of low-solvent and solventless technology along with solvent-based coatings, sealants, primers, stains, varnishes, and other specialized coatings like polyester resin and UV coatings. Additionally, specific segments such as the marine, automotive refinish, coil, and packaging sectors contribute significantly to this demand.
Moreover, rapid urbanization and significant investments in infrastructure development are aiding in the growth of the construction industry in developing countries. In addition, the surging global population is fueling the demand for housing and other infrastructure. Furthermore, the highly reflective and seamless characteristics of architectural paints & coatings enhance their preference in construction applications. Similarly, in maritime sectors, including yacht painting and maintenance, there's a parallel demand for specialized coatings that offer durability and aesthetic appeal. The need for regular maintenance and protection against marine environments drives growth in this niche market. As coastal developments increase and leisure boating expands globally, the demand for professional yacht painting and maintenance services is expected to rise, supported by affluent lifestyles and a growing appreciation for marine recreational activities.
The growing emphasis on bio-based and eco-friendly products constitutes an emerging trend shaping market growth. Numerous research studies have identified multiple commercial applications of bio-based resins and polymers in coatings. Additionally, in developed regions, stringent regulations overseeing the environmental impact of products promote the growth of the bio-based and eco-friendly market. This regulatory framework ensures the proliferation of environmentally conscious practices across various sectors, including the marine segment, automotive refinish, packaging segment, and coil segment.
