Market Dynamics
Introduction
Traffic marking coatings are used to maintain a safe, orderly, and efficient flow of traffic. They are frequently used on roads, highways, travel lanes, loading zones, and parking spots. Because it quickly cures, conventional paint is suitable for marking both in public and private spaces. They also come in a variety of colors, each of which represents a different purpose.
Market Drivers
With the introduction of a stricter code of conduct mandated by governments, there has been a decline in the demand for coatings. Furthermore, along with the disruption of the supply chain, the outbreak of the pandemic compelled the decision-makers to shift their focus entirely to health infrastructure slightly slackening the investments in road infrastructure.
As a result of that, the demand for traffic marking coatings plummeted by over 9% in the year 2020. However, investment in road infrastructure remains the top priority of the leading countries, especially the developing economies. Along with new road construction, repair & maintenance is another key demand generator. High impacts and severe weather conditions are always hazards for roads, highways, and bridges.
Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain the traffic marking lines and sign labels. Also, an increase in investment in smart street marking systems to promote road safety is creating new business opportunities.

By Resin Type
“Acrylics remain the most preferred coating materials during the forecast period”.
The market is bifurcated into acrylics, alkyds, epoxy, and polyester. Acrylics remain the most preferred coating materials for traffic marking solutions in the foreseen future. Quick-drying technology is used in all-acrylic formulations to create durable, long-lasting traffic paints.
They are also made to offer superior latex and paint stability. Other resins such as alkyds, dry up slowly and lack the hydrolytic stability or weatherability required for traffic marking. High solids latexes and styrene acrylic compounds with drying aids are also utilized.
