Growing Demand from the Paint & Coating Industries of Europe and Asia-Pacific

With the steady growth of the construction sector, the demand for paints and coatings has been increasing in numerous countries, across the globe. Europe has significantly recovered from the economic crisis of 2008. The drop in construction activity was sudden, in most countries. Negative growth rates remained in the entire European Union, until 2013. However, the recent conditions are much better, and the region is slowly catching up with its pre-crisis economic output peak. The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) stated that construction activity in the whole European Union grew by 2.2 % in 2016 (reaching EUR 1,278 billion), as compared to 2015. In 2018, a larger increase is forecasted (more than 3 %), which is worth more than EUR 1,343 billion. Insulation retrofits and targeted energy savings are two of the main factors that are shaping up modern home-building trends in Europe. New buildings are not always entirely new. A desire to protect the environment, coupled with the intentions meant to preserve historic architecture, is inspiring modern architects to repurpose, re-use, and renovate older structures.

The outlook for Asia's construction industry in the coming year remains positive, with the region's real estate growth forecasted to reach 5.3% in 2018. Fast growth in emerging and frontier markets in South and Southeast Asia are expected to continue balancing the ongoing slowdown in China and many developed markets. At the same time, governments are expected to ramp up efforts to encourage private participation in infrastructure development plans. Hence, increasing construction activity in Europe and Asia-pacific is driving the growth of the global dye and pigment market.

Paints & Coatings to be the Major End-user Industry

Till the end of June 2017, 13,554 new PPP projects were registered nationwide with a combined investment of about CNY16.4 trillion. In India, the infrastructure sector has become one of the major focus area for the government. In the government’s budget 2017-18, the construction sector was allotted USD 61.92 billion. The government aims to boost the construction of buildings in the country, for which it has decided to come up with a single window clearance facility, in order to provide speedy approval for the construction projects. Hence, all such construction activities and favorable government measures are expected to to boost the construction activities in the region, which is further projected to boost the demand for paint and coating. Thus, increasing the demand for pigments.
