Market Growth Factors
The global coating resins market is propelled by a rise in demand for architectural coatings, attributable to increasing residential and commercial construction worldwide. Infrastructure expansion, including roadway markings for safety, serves as a significant growth catalyst. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and escalating investments in construction amplify the need for these coatings. According to CRISIL’s Infrastructure Yearbook 2023, India alone plans to spend approximately INR 143 lakh crore (US$ 1,727.05 billion) on infrastructure development until 2030, bolstering the demand for coating resins used in protective applications.
Additionally, coating resins are increasingly employed in automotive sectors, particularly in passenger cars and commercial vehicles, to provide mechanical strength, heat resistance, and adhesion to metals. Rising automobile production in Asia-Pacific and North America, such as India’s production of nearly 25 million vehicles in FY23, is boosting market growth. These resins protect against corrosion while enhancing durability and appearance.
The growing consciousness about sustainability is driving innovations in bio-based, waterborne, and low-VOC coating resins. Bio-based resins derived from renewable resources like soy, corn, and castor oil are gaining market preference. Notably, in September 2024, Exel Composites signed a major agreement with Ineos for over 100 metric tons of Envirez bio-based resin, reflecting this trend. Coupled with tightening environmental regulations globally, these factors are expected to foster market expansion.
