Paint Rollers Market Analysis

Paint Rollers Market Analysis

The knitted rollers segment dominated the market with around 60% of the paint rollers market share in 2021. Knitted rollers are likely to hold more paint, thus enabling faster coverage. However, they are highly susceptible to shedding, leaving an unappealing lint on the painted surface. The lint can be spotted easily in a sheen with higher finishes. To avoid this, woven shed-resistant covers are favored for gloss & semi-gloss finishes. The protection against shedding is achieved by a fine blend of woven fabrics. On smooth, semi-smooth, and semi-rough surfaces, these fabrics deliver a lint-free finish. Woven fabric is designed for maximum pick-up and release of the paint.

Although a variety of materials are used for the production of paint rollers, they are mostly manufactured using specially designed synthetic fabrics and can fulfill any kind of application & quality requirements.
 

Rollers with synthetic materials are the most frequently used category in the woven & knitted fabric categories. The synthetic paint rollers market is expected to register 5.8% gains through 2028.
