The global automotive coatings market size is projected to grow from USD 15.0 billion in 2022 to USD 18.6 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.3%. The demand for automotive coatings is primarily influenced by the demand trends in the automotive industry, environmental regulations, health & safety norms, buyer preferences, lifestyle, and the growing economy. The companies have adopted various strategies, such as investment & expansion, merger & acquisition, new product launches, and joint ventures to increase their global presence and maintain sustained growth in the automotive coatings market.
The automotive coatings industry has evolved from solvent-borne coatings to water-borne coatings and powder-based coatings through intense Research & Development (R&D). The aim of providing these advanced coatings to the automotive industry was to minimize the hazard caused by solvent-borne coatings as they have a high content of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and HAPs (hazardous air pollutants). On the other hand, water-borne and powder-based coating is getting popular owing to their environmentally friendly tag with zero or low-VOC content. North American and European countries have issued regulations regarding the content of VOCs in coatings, due to which the demand for water-borne and powder-based coatings increased. Developing countries, such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia have also started applying water-borne and powder-based coatings in the conventional paint process. Hence, considering the increasing vehicle demand and upcoming environmental regulations in the next five years, the demand for eco-friendly coatings is likely to grow at a substantial rate.
