U.S. Waterborne Coatings Market Size, By Product, 2016 & 2024 (USD Million)
Increasing usage in wood, architecture, packaging and automobile industries should drive waterborne coatings industry size. These products are low-toxic in nature, eco-friendly, contains low-VOC and possess good adhesive properties making it suitable for commercial and industrial use
Global architectural coatings market is estimated to surpass USD 90 billion by 2024 due to increasing demand in residential, industrial and commercial infrastructure supported by easy financial assistance. Rapid urbanization in Asia Pacific and LATAM along with high construction spending should boost product demand.
Stringent enforcement regulations regarding maintaining low VOC levels should drive industry growth. Waterborne paints are a class of low-VOC & HAP content product developed to reduce harmful emissions, provide hardness and demonstrate efficient weather resistance compared to latex paints which have higher VOC content.
These coatings are widely applicable in wood industry for windows, furniture, cabinets, flooring and doors. Global wood paints market should surpass USD 3 billion by 2024 owing to its low odour, low VOC and formaldehyde content making it suitable for wood industry. Rising economic standards has led to increase in renovation activities with interior decorations thereby stimulating industry growth.
Weak adhesive quality over marginally prepared surfaces at low temperature, requires increased working time and cost, hindering industry growth. These products do not have strong adhesive properties when applied over chalky, grimy and peeling surfaces compared to alkyds & requiring thorough surface preparation.
Key raw materials for production include polyester, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene chloride and fluoride. These materials have wide usage & demand in various other industries which may widen demand & supply gap thereby affecting industry price trend.
