This was done in an effort to improve the performance of water-based architectural coatings. Water-based architectural coatings have a higher cost per volume than solvent-based coatings as a result of advancements in raw materials that have improved the capability of water-based coatings. This is in comparison to advancements in raw materials that have improved the capability of solvent-based coatings.
However, environmentally friendly coatings have exhibited higher growth in recent years due to the introduction of VOC emission regulations by governments across APEJ. Architectural coatings that are non-toxic and safe for the environment are the product of increased investment in the research and development of novel raw materials and technology by green coating producers as well as research organisations. Decorative coatings that are utilised in the construction and repair of properties have also demonstrated a consistent increase in the Asia Pacific area, particularly in the countries of India, China, and Indonesia. The most important market players in the region are concentrating their efforts on developing a better understanding of the relationship between different application techniques, local raw materials, and substrates in order to meet the demand for decorative architectural coatings and environmentally friendly coatings.
Within the architectural coatings market in Asia and the Pacific, there has been an increase in the manufacturing of environmentally friendly coatings as well as smart coatings that improve resistance to dirt and mould. In order to address the growing demand for environmentally friendly architectural coatings in the region, there has been an increase in the production of coatings that do not contain formaldehyde, have reduced levels of volatile organic compounds, and are based on water. As a consequence of this, it is anticipated that the Asia Pacific would hold more than 45% of the market share in the market for architectural coatings.
