Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Paints & Coatings – As the need for paints & coatings is rising across the globe, more intermediates are required for their production. For instance, ingredients such as binders, pigments, thickeners, curing agents, modifiers, humectants, open-time additives, alkyd latex resins, and polymers are used to create finished aqueous or solvent-borne paint and coating products are known as intermediates and are utilized to generate paints and coatings in the final useable form.

Challenges

  • Exorbitant Cost of Intermediates - The high cost is one of the major factors predicted to slow down the market growth. For instance, the price of raw materials keeps on fluctuating as the materials are not easily available. This as a result can increase the overall cost of the intermediates.
  • Unavailability of Raw Materials
  • Strict Environmental Regulations

Intermediates for Paints & Coatings Market Segmentation:

Type Segment Analysis

The inorganic intermediates segment is estimated to gain a robust market gain of 60 % in the coming years. The segment growth can be attributed to the growing need for coatings. There is a rising need for coatings across various industries which has led to an increase in demand for inorganic intermediates, since it helps in reducing corrosion, and are suitable binders for any structural element. For instance, due to their exceptional performance, these coatings are commonly used in industries like building, painting, and other facets of daily life. They are generated chemically, changing the metal's surface layer into a metallic oxide film or compound, which minimizes corrosion.

Type Segment Analysis

The organic intermediates segment in the intermediates for the paints & coatings market is set to garner a notable share shortly. The growth of the segment is driven by rising demand for environmentally friendly coatings. Owing to stringent environmental regulations to reduce the effect of coatings on the environment the demand for organic intermediates is set to increase. Also, environmentally friendly options such as water-based technologies are becoming more and more popular with consumers. Traditional paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, water-emulsion finishes, and varnishes are all considered organic coatings that are frequently applied multiple times before they are thick enough to prevent corrosion. Furthermore, binders are within the broad category of organic binders which are biodegradable and are therefore seen to be safe for the environment.
