Urbanization and population growth in cities drive the need for new buildings and homes, further boosting demand for decorative coatings in construction projects.

The prices of raw materials used in decorative coatings, such as resins, pigments, and solvents, can be volatile. Fluctuations in raw material prices can affect the overall cost of production and impact profit margins. The decorative coatings market is highly competitive, with numerous manufacturers and suppliers vying for market share. Intense competition can lead to price wars and margin pressures for companies. Regulatory restrictions on the use of certain chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in decorative coatings can limit product offerings and require manufacturers to invest in eco-friendly formulations. Thus, the high-end pricing and risks associated with Decorative coatings may drive down the acceptance rate, further hampering the business growth.
 

COVID-19 Impact

This led to a decline in the demand for decorative coatings from the construction and real estate sectors. With economic uncertainties and job losses, consumer spending patterns changed. Non-essential purchases, including home improvement and decorative coatings, were deprioritized by many consumers. Thus, the reduced number of COVID-19 cases and implementation of subsequent strategies by government and non-government organizations is anticipated to drive the decorative coatings industry growth in the upcoming years.

Consumers and businesses alike showed a heightened interest in sustainable and green building practices. Decorative coatings with low emissions and minimal health risks became more popular, as consumers sought products that improve indoor air quality and contribute to healthier living environments. Customization options and unique finishes gained popularity, allowing consumers to express their individuality in their living spaces. Thus, the growing prevalence and usages is expected to expedite the decorative coatings industry growth.
