Why the Market Is Growing
Decorative paints are transitioning from purely aesthetic products into engineered surface solutions delivering durability, indoor air safety, and energy efficiency.
Key growth drivers include:
Expansion of residential and commercial construction
Regulatory pressure to reduce VOC emissions
Rising demand for waterborne and bio-based formulations
Increased renovation activity in aging building stock
Digital color matching and smart coating technologies
Manufacturers are also responding to procurement volatility by optimizing resin systems and strengthening supply chain resilience, while corporate sustainability mandates push recycled packaging and low-carbon production processes.
Segment Spotlight
Product Type: Water-Based Paints Lead Sustainability Adoption
Water-based paints dominate growth due to low VOC content, improved indoor air quality, and ease of application. Advancements in polymer chemistry now allow these coatings to rival solvent systems in durability, adhesion, and weather resistance.
Formulation: Emulsion Paints Drive Premium Demand
Emulsion paints account for a significant share of value demand, supported by superior washability, color retention, and surface protection-making them the preferred choice for modern residential and commercial interiors.
Application: Residential Renovation Remains Core
Home improvement and refurbishment projects represent a major consumption driver, as consumers increasingly seek stain-resistant, antimicrobial, and fast-drying decorative coatings.
Country Growth Outlook (2026-2036)
China holds the largest global share by value, supported by massive residential construction and government-led urbanization. India follows with strong infrastructure development and smart city initiatives. The United States maintains a leading value position due to mature renovation cycles and premium paint adoption, while Germany and Japan show steady expansion through precision standards and energy-efficient building codes.
