India Set to Witness Boom in Paints and Coatings Sales in Future

Published on January 19 2021

Paints and coatings are extensively used in vehicles for aesthetic and protection purposes. Several types of paints and coatings materials are applied on various vehicle components and also over the body of the automobile in order to improve its efficiency, resistance to various environmental conditions, and durability. With the surging per capita income of people in the emerging economies such as India and China, the sales of personal vehicles are rising sharply.

This is why the rapid advancement of the construction industry in the developing countries is positively impacting the demand for paints and coatings. Due to these factors, the Asia-Pacific paints and coatings market is registering huge growth. Depending on resin type, the market is divided into polyester, acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane categories. Out of these, the polyurethane category is predicted to exhibit the highest CAGR in the market in the future years.

The main factors fueling the progress of the industry in this country are the rapidly expanding construction industry and the soaring private and government spending on residential and commercial construction applications and projects there. As per reports, the Airport Authority of India is aiming to build city-side infrastructure at as many as 13 regional airports around the country. The surge in the manufacturing sector is also positively impacting the sales of paints and coatings in the country.

Thus, it can be said with certainty that the demand for paints and coatings will explode in the region in the coming years, primarily because of the surging construction activities and the mushrooming sales of automobiles in the region.
