Further key findings from the report suggest:
  • The global automotive coatings industry demand was 5,902.7 kilo tons in 2015 and is expected to grow significantly on account of increasing vehicle production in rapidly emerging countries including China, Japan, India, Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Brazil, and South Africa
  • Waterborne coatings market demand is anticipated to witness strong growth in light of stringent regulations pertaining to the usage of solvent borne technology. In addition, superior properties, such as corrosion resistance, flexibility, hardness, stain resistance, adhesion, low flammability, and toxicity, are expected to surge product demand over the next nine years.
  • North America contributed to 22.7% of the overall revenue share in 2015 and is estimated to witness growth on account of rising demand for pickup trucks and utility vehicles in the region
  • Central and South America is expected to see substantial revenue rise at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2025 owing to increasing small car production in Brazil. Furthermore, large automobile manufacturers including General Motors, Volkswagen, and Hyundai have been shifting their base to the region owing to lower operation costs, which is likely to aid in market expansion.
  • The industry is highly competitive in nature, and manufacturers are involved in continuous product development and R&D activities. Manufacturers including Axalta Coating Systems, PPG Industries, BASF, Nippon Paint, AkzoNobel, and Kansai Paint are some of the key players in the market.
  • In April 2015, Axalta established a new R&D technology center in Shanghai to develop new products for the global commercial vehicle, light vehicle OEM, refinish and industrial customers
