The acrylic water based paints market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.81 billion in 2023 to $33.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the implementation of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, heightened consumer awareness regarding the health and environmental advantages of acrylic water-based paints, shifting architectural trends favoring sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials, the expansion of construction and renovation endeavors, and the emergence of supportive government initiatives.

The acrylic water based paints market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.05 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the emergence of new application areas, the escalating digitalization of marketing strategies, a heightened emphasis on sustainable practices within the paint industry, increased market penetration in developing regions, and a growing demand for customization and personalized color options facilitated by acrylic water-based paints. Key trends projected for the forecast period encompass advancements in formulation techniques, innovative packaging solutions, the utilization of digital color matching tools, integration of biodegradable additives, incorporation of smart paint monitoring systems featuring IoT sensors and predictive maintenance algorithms, as well as the adoption of modular paint systems.

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 January 2021, Novacolor, a US-based manufacturer of water-based acrylic paints, merged with San Marco Group SpA for an undisclosed sum. This merger bolstered Novacolor's standing in the market, enabling it to leverage San Marco Group's expertise in research and development, procurement of innovative raw materials, and industrial and logistics platforms. San Marco Group SpA, headquartered in Italy, specializes in manufacturing paints and varnishes, including water-based acrylic paints suitable for both interior and exterior use.
