Growth in the region is driven by the massive number of renovation jobs within residential, commercial, and infrastructure uses. Europe is an established construction market with most of the demand coming from refurbishing projects, which include repainting works. The growth of the market is also driven by the need for renovation to enhance durability, aesthetics of the surfaces, and increase protection. Market growth will also be accelerated by supportive regulations and environmental policies of the EU, which advocate for the use of low-emission, eco-friendly, and non-toxic paints/coating materials.

The demand for energy-saving buildings is also driving the adoption of coatings that have properties of thermal reflectivity, weather resistance, and increased insulating capabilities. The region has the advantage of having an established system of professional contractors coupled with a significant participation by DIY consumers, especially those within developed countries like Germany, the UK, and France. Income growth and improvement in the quality of housing in the CEE countries are also contributing to growth in the market.

“By technology, the water-based segment is expected to account for the largest share of Europe architectural coatings market.”

The water-based technologies segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period because they comply with strict environmental regulations, improvement in performance, and have high acceptance from end-users. Due to the EU regulation and the enforcement of the European Chemicals Agency, there have been considerable limits placed on the VOC emissions of many products, including paints and coatings. As a result, the use of waterborne coatings has become the most compliant alternative among coatings compared to solvent-borne systems. Technologically, manufacturers of water-based coatings are producing products that have similar durability, adhesion, and weather-resistance properties as many solvent-based products (especially acrylic-based products). Hence, there is much less performance disparity between waterborne and solvent-borne coatings than before. In addition, they have low odors, shorter drying times, and they clean up easily. All of these factors, combined with the fact that the growth in demand for renovations will continue to strengthen the demand for coatings that meet indoor health & safety, and environmental standards, will contribute to the ongoing growth of the waterborne architectural coatings market in Europe and reinforce their market leadership position versus solvent-based coatings.

“By substrate, the metals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Europe architectural coatings market.”

Architectural coatings are made up of coatings on metal surfaces (i.e., metal substrates). These coatings are used for structure and decoration in numerous types of buildings and infrastructural projects. Coatings on metal substrates are required in a wide variety of ways for protecting metallic construction (e.g., steel and aluminum) against deterioration, particularly corrosion, weathering, and UV light degradation. The typical uses include exterior façades and roofs, window frames, railings, and industrial structures.

The diversity of climate conditions across Europe highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate type of coating to prolong the performance and life cycles of assets constructed from metals. The EU regulations also mandate that protective coatings applied to metallic substrates be capable of meeting stringent standards for durability and safety. This is particularly true for public infrastructure and commercial projects. The demand for recoating metal surfaces has increased as a result of the need to renovate aging infrastructure. However, as an added benefit, many contemporary architectural designs incorporate exposed metal structures, thereby boosting the aesthetic appeal of using metal substrates. These various aspects all contribute to the metal segment being the largest substrate category within the Europe architectural coatings market.
