Global Decorative Coating Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID 19 Impact, And Trends By Formulation (Water Based, Solvent Based, Powder Based), By Type (Emulsion, Primer, Enamel, Distemper, Others), By Resin Type (Acrylic, Alkyd, Vinyl, Polyurethane, Others), By Application (Concrete, Walls, Wood, Interior Fittings, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The decorative coatings market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.63% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$124.610 billion by 2027, increasing from US$79.519 billion in 2020. Enhanced durability and appearance of the surface and weather protection are some of the factors boosting the demand for decorative coatings from the real estate industry over the forecast period. Additionally, rising disposable income across the globe has increased awareness among consumers about decorative designs, and the growing craze for interior design is further expected to drive the decorative coatings market growth.

Significant infrastructure development in the Asia Pacific emerging economies, combined with rising spending in current fiscal budgets by the governments of India and China, is driving the growth of the decorative coating market in this region.  However, harmful environmental effects from solvent-borne coatings coupled with stringent environmental regulations are expected to serve as a key market challenge over the next five years.

Increasing construction activity is driving the demand for decorative coatings

Rapid industrialization and growing construction activity in developing economies are expected to fuel the demand for decorative coatings in construction and other industries. Decorative coatings are used on the surface of structures such as buildings, roads, and bridges for protection and aesthetic purposes as well. Investment in the development of infrastructure is expected to increase, more specifically, in emerging and developing countries like India, China, and Brazil, among others. For instance, India and China have been growing at above 6% per annum for the last couple of years, which is an indication of the development of infrastructure and growing urbanization. Moreover, according to the United States Census Bureau Construction, construction spending in July 2022 is expected to be $1,777.3 billion, 0.4 percent (0.8 percent) lower than the June 2022 estimate of $1,784.3 billion. The estimates for July 2022 were 8.5 percent (1.3 percent) higher than the estimate for July 2021 of $1,637.3 billion, while a similar trend has been noticed in the European region.

The water-based formation is holding a significant share of the market.

By formulation, the market has been characterized as water-based, solvent-based, and powder-based. Water-based holds a significant share in the market owing to its wider adoption and is one of the oldest forms of decorative coatings. In addition, powder coatings are growing at an exponential rate over the forecast period on account of their advantages of low cost and high efficiency compared to other forms. Also, with the changing preference towards wood effects, the market is growing with new players entering and expanding the scale of operations.

The Asia Pacific region is estimated to hold a significant share of the market.

By geography, the global decorative coatings market has been segmented into the following: North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions. The Asia Pacific accounts for a significant share of the global decorative coatings market in 2020 and is projected to remain at its position throughout the forecast period. The region is experiencing a significant increase in construction activities which is further driving the growth of the market over the forecast period. Also, an increasing number of construction projects in countries like China, especially megaprojects like Beijing Daxing International Airport which started in 2014 and is one of the largest infrastructure projects initiated by the country with an aim to process 72 million passengers a year which is expected to have four runways by 2025 is expected to drive the scope of demand for decorative coatings during the forecast period. Besides, increasing population density in urban areas coupled with rising investment in residential projects has been increasing the demand for decorative coatings for a couple of years, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years. Furthermore, Since, Tokyo will also be hosting the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the construction investment is estimated to continue to increase which will widen the growth opportunities for decorative coating vendors and manufacturers in the coming years. In North America, due to the presence of major market players and increasing investment in infrastructure activities, the market is growing at a substantial rate. Similar trends have been noticed in the European region, which is witnessing exponential growth on account of increasing investment by market players.

Covid 19 impact on the Decorative Coating Market

The decorative coatings market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and this slowdown is expected to continue for the next few years. To combat the spread of the coronavirus, most governments have imposed various regulations such as lockdowns, shutdowns of manufacturing and educational sectors, transportation bans, and so on. Because of these shutdown factors, the global decorative coatings market, which had been thriving with increased investment, was severely impacted. The manufacturing industries faced numerous challenges, including a labour shortage, a raw material shortage, and material and supply chain bottlenecks, which resulted in a delay in project production for ongoing funded projects, potentially resulting in a reduction in investment in future projects. Because production was halted for a few days, businesses dealt with lost sales and disrupted supply chains in order to recoup their investment and increase their market demand. Following the reduction of corona cases, the demand for the decorative coatings industry market accelerates rapidly.
