Description
The Paints and Coatings Market Report – Europe is now also available in parts (e.g. individual country profiles or all manufacturer profiles). Please feel free to contact us and we will immediately send you an offer for your specific selection.
Manufacturers of paints and coatings are particularly dependent on the construction industry, but benefit less directly from government support programs than producers of insulation materials, for example. Crises and high construction costs are reducing demand in the current year. In the longer term, however, Ceresana analysts continue to expect slight growth. Ceresana has analyzed the entire European market for paints and coatings for the fifth time: In 2021, 9.23 million tonnes of these coatings were consumed. In the new market report, all information and forecasts regarding demand, production, imports and exports for the years 2019 to 2031 are given in tonnes – with revenues in both USD and EUR.
Coatings for buildings, industrial goods, and wood processing
The current, sixth edition of the Ceresana study on the European market for paints and coatings presents all information and forecasts on production, demand, import, and export as well as revenues for the years 2020 to 2032 in clearly arranged tables. The market report examines revenues per product type: from paints and coatings based on acrylic, vinyl, alkyd, epoxy, polyurethane (PUR), and polyester to products based on other base materials. Not included in this study are other coating materials such as mortar, plaster, diluter, printing ink, textile dyes, and food coloring.
Cautious outlook for the construction industry
Ceresana does not anticipate stronger growth in the construction industry, the largest area of application for paints and coatings, until 2025 at the earliest. The institute’s market analysts forecast that around 56% of all coatings in Europe will be purchased by the construction industry in 2032: Facade and interior wall paints for residential construction, but also architectural paints for commercial construction and infrastructure projects. At present, commercial construction is generally developing better than residential construction; however, demand for office properties is falling. Both new construction and the renovation segment are suffering from the weak economic situation of the construction sector. However, the various construction segments are developing differently in each European country. Ceresana expects demand for paints and coatings in the construction sector to grow by an average of 1.2% per year overall. After buildings, industrial goods are the second largest area of application for coatings. The most dynamic growth in demand is in the wood processing and transportation sectors.
Current 6th edition of the market study “Paints and Coatings – Europe”:
Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive analysis of the European market for paints and coatings – including forecasts up to 2032: The development of production and demand (both in tonnes) and revenues (in dollars and euros) is clearly illustrated.
The application areas of paints and coatings are considered individually, both in terms of demand in tonnes and revenues in US dollars. A distinction is made between the following areas:
- Construction
- Industry (coil coating, others)
- Transportation (OEM, refinish coatings, marine coatings)
- Wood processing
- Other applications
The application area “construction” is additionally subdivided into the various construction segments:
- New Construction
- Renovation
- Residential construction
- Non-residential Construction
The demand for paints and coatings is broken down by product types:
- Vinyl
- Acrylic
- Alkyd
- Epoxy
- Polyurethane (PUR)
- Polyester
- Other polymers
- Other paints and coatings
The study also breaks down the market data for the various technologies:
- Water-based paints and coatings
- Solvent-based paints and coatings
- Powder coatings
- Other technologies
In Chapter 2, 23 European sales markets for coating materials are examined individually: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UK.
The following are shown in each case: production, demand, revenues, and trade of paints and coatings. The demand is shown for 5 application areas, 8 product types and 4 technologies. In contrast to the previous study, revenues are now also broken down by application area. In addition, the “construction” application area is also divided into 4 construction segments at country level.
Chapter 3 provides company profiles of the largest European manufacturers of paints and coatings, clearly arranged according to contact details, revenues, profit, product range, production sites, and profile summary. Detailed profiles of 71 paints and coatings producers are supplied, e.g. AkzoNobel N.V., Altana AG, BASF Coatings GmbH, DAW SE, Hempel AS, Jotun AS, PPG Industries, Inc., Sherwin-Williams Sweden AB, Sika AG, and Sto SE & Co. KGaA.
=> A Ceresana market study specifically on bio-based paints and coatings is currently available. Ceresana also regularly examines the entire global market for paints and coatings. Other new market studies relevant to the construction industry and other consumers of coatings analyze, for example, pigments, bio-based solvents, insulation materials, adhesives, fillers, plastic pipes, windows and doors.
