The uptick in construction activities is anticipated to drive the expansion of the acrylic water-based paint market in the foreseeable future. Construction activities encompass a range of tasks involved in erecting, renovating, or altering buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. The surge in construction activities is fueled by factors such as burgeoning urbanization, infrastructure development projects, and the expansion of real estate markets, all of which contribute to the heightened demand for water-based acrylic paints. Construction projects often entail renovation, refurbishment, and maintenance endeavors aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of existing structures. Acrylic water-based paints find extensive usage for both interior and exterior applications in such construction projects. For example, as per data from the Office for National Statistics in November 2023, Great Britain witnessed a 3.9% (£393 million) upswing in the total construction of new orders in Quarter 3 of 2023 compared to Quarter 2 of the same year. This surge was primarily driven by substantial increases in public other new orders and infrastructure new orders, which soared by 23.7% (£265 million) and 14.3% (£204 million), respectively. Hence, the escalating construction activities are bolstering the acrylic water-based paint market.

Companies operating in the acrylic water-based paint market are channeling their efforts towards technology-driven enhancements, particularly with bio-based technology, which involves integrating natural plant-derived ingredients to substitute petroleum-based resins. This innovation in bio-based technology aims to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with paint production while offering environmentally sustainable solutions to consumers. For instance, in January 2023, PT Mowilex Indonesia, a manufacturer of premium paints and coatings based in Indonesia, unveiled Naturalle Paint, a water-based acrylic binder featuring bio-based technology containing 28% renewable raw materials. This pioneering paint mitigates formaldehyde levels in indoor air by leveraging plant-based components, thereby enhancing indoor air quality with its zero-VOC formulation and formaldehyde-absorption capability. Naturalle paint is environmentally conscious and offers a formaldehyde abatement feature that can elevate indoor air quality.

In February 2024, INEOS Automotive, a UK-based manufacturer of off-road vehicles, partnered with BASF’s Coatings division on a global automotive refinish and paint development project. This collaboration aims to surpass industry standards in vehicle body repair and paint refinishing, focusing on delivering sustainable refinish solutions, advanced digital color-matching technology, and comprehensive training.
