The Architectural Coatings Market report offers an in-depth analysis of the market size, shares, recent trends, competitive intelligence, and future market outlook. The market for architectural coatings is witnessing significant growth owing to the rising demand for protective coatings and infrastructure development.
The Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a potential market for architectural coatings with a surge in demand for eco-friendly coatings. The competitive rivalry in the market is escalating with major players such as PPG Industries, AkzoNobel, Sherwin-Williams Company, and others actively operating in the market.
Architectural coatings are coatings in the form of paints, primers, sealers, inks, and other related goods, which are used as roof coatings, wall paints, or deck finishes for coating commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to secure these buildings from ultraviolet radiations, microbes, and moisture. It also enhances their appearances.
Architectural coatings are applied in paints, primers, sealers, inks, and others. The majority of the coatings are applied to surfaces using sprayers, rollers, brushes, and other applicators. Powder particles or liquid film coatings are converted into solid film coatings by several processes such as cross-linking, evaporation, coalescence, or fusion bonding.

Architectural Coatings Market Dynamics
The market growth is driven by increasing the use of architectural coatings for coating the interior and exterior walls, roofs, ceilings, and floor surfaces of the buildings. The coating is applied onto the exterior surface of the buildings to increase their aesthetic appeal, and to protect it from the effects of weather, UV radiation, fading and peeling due to pollution, and cracking. Consumers prefer architectural coatings for the interiors of the building to add colors, increase calmness, and protect the interior surfaces.
The demand for Sustainable and innovative products
The sustainability of architectural coatings is advancing one or more of the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Architectural coatings formulations need to be changed regularly driven by a strengthening drive toward sustainability including the continued lowering and ultimate elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOC), reducing the risk of human exposure to hazardous chemicals, and enabling a circular economy based on renewable resources. Waterborne coatings now dominate the global architectural coatings market moving the world closer to eliminating coatings as an air pollution source. Regulatory and consumer demand will increase the drive toward zero VOC eventually eliminating solvent-based coatings.
Product innovation and the launch of emerging novel products shall have a positive impact on the market. For instance, in April 2019, AkzoNobel developed a scratch-resistant powder coating for the architectural market in both matte and satin finishes. The company had added the pioneering dual functionality i.e. Interpon D X-Pro, to its Interpon D range. Interpon D X-Pro is effective in making the products less susceptible to abrasions during handling and transportation.
The introduction of the digitally-enabled service platform along with the architectural coating products by the companies would play vital in increasing the reach of customers to be and their sales over the forecasted period.
However, the availability of substitutes for architectural coatings, and government, and environmental regulation is hindering the market growth. External and internal environment problems such as rain, snow, and ice on the outside and moisture build-up from the inside could lead to peeling of the coating. These factors could hurt architectural coatings.
Architectural Coatings Market Segmentation Analysis
The global architectural coatings market is segmented based on the type of acrylic products, alkyd products, vinyl products, epoxy, polyurethane products, and others. Acrylic product dominates the market due to their properties such as environmental resistance, fast setting times, excellent durability, and high gloss retention. According to National Coatings Association, USA, every acrylic coating product manufactured in the country is made out of the finest raw materials available. For instance, Elastomeric roof coatings provide waterproof roofing. It prevents water from penetrating the roof during expansion and contraction in thermal expansion. The durability and reflectivity of the acrylic coating make it a worthy, cost-effective investment, prolonging the life of the roof and lowering the temperature in the building; which in turn reduces energy consumption. There is an increase in demand for aqueous acrylic lacquers which comprises the properties of both lacquers and enamels. These coatings are more sensitive to humidity and temperature and efficiently eliminate the environmentally dangerous chemicals associated with the existing lacquers.
Geographical Share
By region, the global architectural coatings market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, and Africa. Asia Pacific region accounts for the highest market share due to the growing construction of residential and non-residential sectors, especially in developing countries such as China and India. Moreover, there is an increase in government spending for the construction of buildings and FDI in the region.
Members believed that the continuous economic reforms focussed on increasing efficiency and inclusiveness contributed to these positive developments and led to an improvement in socio-economic indicators, such as per-capita income and life expectancy.
It also added that GDP would benefit from policy support, including higher spending on infrastructure, rural development, and health, and a stronger-than-expected recovery in services and manufacturing.
Competitive Landscape
The global architectural coatings market is highly consolidated with the presence of several domestic and local players. PPG Industries, Inc., Akzo Nobel N.V., Kansai Paints Co., Ltd., Asian Paints Limited, The Sherwin-Williams Company, and Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. are the leading market players with significant market shares.
Companies are using product innovation, enhancing distribution facilities, production innovation, new product launches, new facility development, facility expansion, and market expansion to increase their reach and market penetration.
They expand the color choice for exterior and interior architectural coatings allowing North American and Latin American manufacturers to offer the most expansive color palette possible. They provide the flexibility to produce traditional and unique shades with excellent light and weather protection.
Under the terms of the agreement, Capital Paints would operate as one of three Axalta powder manufacturing facilities in the emerging markets region and other countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. It would create a significant opportunity for bringing powder coating technologies to customers in the oil and gas and architectural segments.
