Paint and coatings is a sector that consists of two end use industry types: industrial and decorative (architectural). About forty percent of the market is made up of decorative paint, which also includes related products like primers and putties. This category includes several subcategories, including wall paints for the interior and exterior, wood finishes, and enamels. The remaining sixty percent of the paint industry consists of the industrial paint category, which covers a broad range of industries like automotive, marine, packaging, powder, protection, and other general industrial coatings. Using low-solvent and solventless technologies is mandatory for manufacturers because the coatings industry is globally regulated.
Asia Pacific Paints and Coatings Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: The market is growing as a result of several factors, including Malaysia's growing demand for protective coatings and the construction industry's explosive growth. The industry will likely see tremendous growth opportunities with the introduction of environmentally friendly paint and coating resins. Additionally, a number of significant factors are contributing to the paint and coatings market's rapid expansion in Asia Pacific. First off, there has been an increase in both residential and commercial construction due to the region's rapid industrialization and urbanization. Because paints and coatings are essential to maintaining and extending the lifespan of buildings, demand for them has surged in tandem with the growth in construction.
Challenges: Powder coating produces incredibly high-quality thick and smooth coatings. However, creating thin coatings is difficult. Controlling the volume and rate at which powder is applied to the substrate is difficult. Thicker coatings can easily hide surface imperfections. Thicker coatings usually have more orange-peeled textures because of inadequate pre-treatment, inadequate temperature or curing time, and inadequate powder addition. These elements hindered the market's growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on Asia Pacific Paints and Coatings Market
The Asia Pacific Paints and Coatings Market was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a complicated way. Extensive lockdowns imposed by multiple countries to stem the virus's spread led to a brief dip in the market for paints and coatings. Both residential and commercial construction was severely hampered by these measures. The decline in construction projects and supply chain disruptions caused manufacturers to struggle with production and distribution. The automotive industry, a significant coatings consumer, was impacted by the temporary closure of the production facilities, which also had an impact on the demand for automotive paints.
