Therefore, increasing spending on private and public non-residential constructions in the country is expected to create an upside demand for the paints and coatings additives market.
• Apart from that, there are various construction commercial projects scheduled in the United States Red Bull North America's USD 740 million worth 2 million sq ft processing and distribution facility in Concord, North Carolina, Dairy cooperative DairgoldUSD 500 million worth 400,000 sq ft processing facility in Port of Pasco, Washington (completion scheduled for 2023), Biotics Research Corporation USD 9 million worth 88,000 sq ft warehouse, laboratory, and office facility in Rosenberg, Texas (completion scheduled for 2023).
• Increasing investment in residential constructions in Saudi Arabia is expected to boost the demand for the paints and coatings additives market. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, the growing number of real estate developments, increasing demand for residential property, and governmental initiatives to develop socio-economic infrastructure drive the country's paints and coatings additives market. According to Majid Al-Hogail, the Saudi Housing Minister, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plans to construct 300,000 extra housing units over the next five years. One of Saudi Arabia's significant initiatives under Vision 2030 is housing. It will likely create demand for the paints and coatings additives market from the country's construction sector in the upcoming years.
• Such initiatives by the government are expected to rapidly boost the construction industry. It is also further boosting the consumption of coating and, in turn, coating additives in the construction sector.
• Hence, all such residential construction investments and projects are driving construction activities in these countries, along with the consumption of paints and coatings for application in residential construction.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

• Asia-Pacific is aiming for the development of its paints and coatings sector. It is on the way to becoming the center of the global paints and coatings supply chain, leveraging its easy access to key feedstock, production of basic molecules, and access to the regional market.
• Asia-Pacific includes a persistent expedition in making some of the tallest, largest, and biggest structures. The paints and coatings industry in the country is expected to register steady growth in the coming years. The construction industry is poised to witness sturdy growth in the forthcoming years, augmenting the demand for coating additives.
• China holds the largest Asia-Pacific market share for the paints and coatings additives market. The demand for the paints and coatings additives market is expected to rise throughout the forecast period due to rising investments and construction activity in the country. China is a huge contributor, as it is one of the leading investors in infrastructure worldwide over the past few years. For instance, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China, in 2022, the output value of construction works in China amounted to CNY 31.2 trillion (USD 475.84 billion), an increase of 6.5% compared with 2021.
