In addition, rising advancements and development in coating technology and highly influencing demand from several end-user industries along with the several stringent regulations imposed by governments from both developed and developing regions, are likely to create new growth opportunities for the market soon.

For instance, in May 2022, British Coatings Federations announced the launch of Trace VOC Globe, which allows decorative paint manufacturers to improve their communication with customers by highlighting the lowest levels of VOCs. The VOC Globe scheme is basically a part of an initiative from coating industry to increase consumer awareness regarding the amount of VOC being used in paint products.

Several manufacturers across the globe are focused on the production of high-performance coatings having non-solvent borne technology and minimum or zero VOC with good durability, as it forms ground-level ozone and urban smog resulting in several kinds of health hazards like headache, dizziness, and kidney damage.

In addition, significant growth in the construction industry around the world is also projected to create a positive outlook for the green coatings markets, as these coatings are widely used on walls, roofs, windows, door frames, interior extrusion, and panels.

However, green coatings usually undergo a very complex process to become completely environmentally friendly, that result in increased prices upon reaching the final stage users are not willing to pay an increased amount as there are alternatives available at cheap cost, which may hinder the global market growth.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the green coatings market. The emergence of the deadly virus has stimulated the consumer's desire to know where their food comes from and what additives are being added to the food product. The increased health awareness among consumers has positively influenced the demand for Green Coatings over the preference for synthetic food colorants.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
There has been a significant increase in awareness regarding the harmful effects of VOC emissions and global warming across the globe, supported by the numerous aforementioned regulations, that has gradually shifted the demand from solvent-borne coatings to environment-friendly products including waterborne, high-solids, and UV-curable coatings, as these kinds of products, contain no or fewer solvents that easily evaporate during the curing phase, thereby driving the global market growth at a rapid pace.

Furthermore, several manufacturers worldwide are highly implementing the reduction of their carbon footprint as per the regulation and different benefits received from government initiatives for the adoption and use of renewable resources, which is also expected to boost the demand for green coatings over the coming years.

For instance, in December 2022, BASF announced the launch of its first and latest biomass balance automotive coatings in China. The first batch of the basecoat has been already delivered to a customer in China and enables about a 20% reduction in the product’s carbon footprint. It further adds a reduced carbon footprint without any need to alter the product’s formulation and performance.

Waterborne segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022

The growing demand for the product in automotive and industrial applications in emerging economies such as Brazil and India and early adoption of the innovated technology in the manufacturing process in North America and Europe region are primary factors driving the segment growth. Additionally, high utilization and prevalence of waterborne coatings across architectural industry, as infrastructure spending with growing economic development across the globe is further anticipated to fuel segment growth.

The high-solids coatings segment is likely to register highest market growth during the projected period on account of its cost-effectiveness, superior water resistance, and excellent viscoelastic properties. A rapid surge in the demand for domestic appliances such as freezer cabinet, microwaves, and washing machine, which results in increased demand for powder coatings and high prevalence of this technology for the manufacturing of consumer goods is anticipated to augment segment growth exponentially in the coming years.

Automotive segment dominated the global market in 2022

The growth of the segment can be mainly attributed to growing use of OEM coatings in automobile manufacturing as it provides high durability and excellent quality and also possesses several mechanical properties for protecting automobiles from scratches, chemical exposure, and the environment. Strict environmental regulations have created significant demand for sustainable development of coating products and reducing the volatile organic compounds to effectively include resource and energy conservations, increasing process efficiency, and renewable waste, and minimizing material waste.

However, the industrial segment is expected to grow at a considerable growth rate over the anticipated period, which is mainly accelerated by increased awareness regarding vehicle paints by healing damages and scratches on product surfaces along with the expansion of consumer base in APAC region owing to high spending capacity on various end-user industries. Industrial coatings are being widely used for a variety of applications to ensure resistance to anti-corrosion, prevent wear & tear, and increased operational efficiency, thereby boosting segment growth over the coming years.
