Press Release

Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 7.45% through 2030F

The increasing Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating market is driven by rapid shift toward water-based paints and Low-VOC Formulations, surge in demand from infrastructure and smart city projects during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating Market was valued at USD 60.15 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 93.40 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period. One of the most significant trends shaping the Asia-Pacific paints and coatings market is the increasing demand for water-based and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) formulations. This shift is primarily driven by growing environmental awareness, stricter government regulations, and consumer preference for eco-friendly products. Traditional solvent-based coatings release high levels of VOCs that contribute to air pollution and health hazards. Consequently, many countries especially China, South Korea, and Japan are tightening VOC emission limits.

Water-based paints are gaining traction across both decorative and industrial segments. In architectural coatings, they are preferred for interior applications due to lower odor, quick drying, and ease of cleanup. In automotive and general industrial coatings, newer waterborne technologies are being developed to match the performance of solvent-based systems.

Multinational manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D to expand their water-based portfolios, while local players are adapting to these formulations to stay competitive. According to recent industry estimates, water-based coatings accounted for nearly 60% of all architectural paint usage in urban China by 2024, a figure expected to rise further with expanding environmental mandates.

However, widespread adoption in emerging markets like India, Vietnam, and Indonesia is still gradual due to pricing sensitivity and limited awareness. Nonetheless, the trend is accelerating as consumers become more environmentally conscious and developers demand products that align with green building certifications like LEED and IGBC.

As sustainability continues to shape product innovation and purchasing decisions, the transition to water-based and low-VOC coatings is poised to dominate future growth trajectories in the Asia-Pacific paints and coatings market.

Based on technology, Solvent-borne is the fastest growing segment in the Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating market during the forecast period, due to its superior performance characteristics and broad application scope across various industries. Solvent-borne coatings offer excellent adhesion, durability, chemical resistance, and gloss retention, making them ideal for demanding applications in automotive, industrial, and protective coatings. These properties ensure long-lasting protection against harsh environmental conditions, which is especially critical in regions with extreme weather and pollution challenges commonly found in parts of Asia-Pacific.

Industries such as automotive manufacturing are significant contributors to solvent-borne coatings growth. The demand for solvent-borne paints in automotive refinish and OEM segments is rising, driven by increasing vehicle production and maintenance activities in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. Solvent-borne coatings provide a high-quality finish and resistance to wear and tear, essential for extending vehicle lifespan.

Moreover, solvent-borne coatings remain favored in the industrial equipment and heavy machinery sectors due to their ability to withstand corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. With the expansion of manufacturing and infrastructure development projects in Asia-Pacific, the need for robust protective coatings supports solvent-borne segment growth.

While environmental regulations encourage low-VOC alternatives, solvent-borne coatings are evolving with advanced formulations that reduce VOC emissions while maintaining performance. This technological advancement allows solvent-borne coatings to comply with stricter environmental standards, ensuring their continued adoption.

Additionally, solvent-borne coatings often cost less than high-performance water-borne or powder coatings, appealing to price-sensitive markets within Asia-Pacific. This affordability combined with proven performance drives preference in various applications.

Based on country, India is the fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific Paints & Coating Market during the forecast period due to its rapid urbanization, expanding industrial base, and rising consumer demand. The country’s large population and growing middle class are driving significant growth in the residential construction sector, which requires extensive architectural coatings. Affordable housing projects, smart city initiatives, and infrastructure development, supported by government policies, are fueling demand for paints and coatings across urban and rural areas alike.

India’s booming automotive industry also contributes heavily to the market’s expansion. As the country becomes one of the largest vehicle manufacturers globally, the demand for high-performance coatings for both OEM and aftermarket applications rises. This includes protective coatings that enhance durability and aesthetic appeal, supporting the growth of solvent-borne and polyurethane segments.

The industrial sector in India is also rapidly developing, with increasing investments in manufacturing, energy, and heavy machinery. These industries rely on durable coatings to protect equipment and extend operational lifespan, thereby stimulating demand for epoxy, powder, and polyurethane coatings. Additionally, the government’s emphasis on Make in India and self-reliance encourages domestic production and innovation in paints and coatings.

Environmental awareness and regulatory reforms are steering the market toward eco-friendly, low-VOC, and water-borne coatings. Indian manufacturers are increasingly adopting sustainable technologies to comply with stricter emission norms, boosting demand for advanced formulations.

Furthermore, rising disposable incomes and changing lifestyles increase consumer spending on decorative and protective coatings for household goods, appliances, and furniture, expanding the decorative paints segment.

The combination of strong economic growth, industrialization, infrastructural investments, and shifting consumer preferences positions India as the fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific Paints & Coatings market during the forecast period.
