Rapid Urbanization and Industrialization Driving Growth of APAC Paints and Coatings Market

With a lot of construction activities going on in the world, and especially in the APAC region, home to two of the most populated nations, China and India, mainly to provide housing to the increasing population. it will also have a positive impact on the demand of paints and coatings as well.

Let us start:

Solvents have an important role to play in many customer-use products for making paint, with a good consistency avoid clumps and for application, in paints, dissolve the components, which are used in the making of paints and coatings. 

Glycol ether esters are added to the paints for resisting them from drying in the mid-air. It is added to paints formulations dissolving additional compounds, such as, additives, pigments and binders. 

Solvents Have an Important Role

Solvents are important in the formulation of coatings even if they’re not there at the final stage because of evaporation and control viscosity for the use. 

These are good for polar resins as they are important for higher ketones and favorable for non-polar resins when only tiny ketones are mixable with water. 

Esters have solvating power just as ketones as they also accept hydrogen and if small ester works well as a solvent for polar resins and their dissolving for non-polar boosts just as ketones.

Alcohol is Both Acceptor and Donor of Hydrogen

Alcohol is both hydrogen acceptor and donor that giving them an incredible solvating power for polar resins, OH group has its effect on it as it is in the same position. 

Alcohol reacting to isocyanates that can interfere with the process of drying of coatings can be reduced by the addition of secondary or tertiary alcohol.

So, all in all solvents have a big role to play in the formulation of coatings and prevent them from drying. With the growing construction sector in the Asia Pacific, the demand for paints and coatings is on the rise and will reach USD 133.03 billion  by the end of this decade.

Automotive and Infrastructure Sectors to Facilitate Growth in Asia-Pacific (APAC) Paints and Coatings Domain

Increasing construction activities, expanding automotive domain, and rapid industrialization are the key factors influencing the APAC paints and coatings market growth. Paints and coatings are mastic or liquid compositions that provide resistance to the substrate from abrasion and corrosion by forming a layer that converts into a solid film. Increasing investments in construction projects, ranging from retail centers and offices to hospitals and hotels, are leading to the growth of the paints and coatings domain in APAC. Similarly, paints and coatings have found their use in the automotive sector for both protection and aesthetic purposes. 




Advantages such as reduced application time, increased resistance against moisture, and smoother texture and finish make water-based coatings a preferred choice among end-users. On top of this, these last longer in poorly ventilated spaces and confined environments. Hence, owing to the beneficial properties of such materials, the APAC paints and coating niche would experience prosperity during the forecast period.

In terms of application, the APAC paints and coatings market is categorized into architectural and decorative, industrial, and marine. During the forecast period, the volume sales of paintings and coatings are expected to witness the highest growth for industrial application, with a CAGR of 7.5%. Increasing demand for paints and coatings solutions from industries such as consumer goods, automotive, and machinery manufacturing is driving the market growth.


Countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia have witnessed rapid economic transformation in the past few decades. Majority of these nations have a large and rapidly growing middle-class population. These factors make these developing countries a suitable paint and coatings market. As these countries are home to fast-growing construction and automotive industry, an increase in the consumption of paint and coatings is expected from these. Hence, developing countries with a high economic growth rate will continue to bolster the market of paints and coatings in APAC in the coming years.

Some of the major players operating in the APAC paints and coatings market are Akzo Nobel N. V., PPG Industries Inc., The Sherwin-Williams Company, Berger Paints India Limited, Shalimar Paints Limited, Kansai Paint Co. Ltd., Chugoku Marine Paints Ltd., KCC Corporation, Nippon Paint Holdings Co. Ltd., Dulux Group Limited, and Asian Paints Limited.
