Paints and coatings are formed of solvents, binders, additives, hardeners, and pigments provided by a variety of raw material producers, suppliers, or distributors. These are utilized in residential, non-residential, commercial, and industrial settings for their aesthetic and protective qualities, such as in automotive, marine, aerospace, wood, protective, and coil coatings. The paints and coatings business is currently concentrating on cutting-edge, cost-effective, high-performance compounds that offer permeability, extending the product's shelf life. The design and development of raw materials are always evolving technologically.

Given the widespread consumer interest in interior design, architectural paints produced and utilized in Western Europe are exclusively medium- to high-end goods. In Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Central and Eastern Europe, economic goods have long been in demand. In the long run, as living standards rise in emerging economies, consumer preferences for paint quality will shift towards more expensive goods. Thus, during the projection period, the European market is anticipated to be driven by rising living standards and customer preference for luxury goods.

Segments Analysis

Technology Trends

"The powder segment accounted for the largest market share."

Based on the technology type, the European paints and coatings market is segmented into waterborne, solvent-borne, powder, and others. Powder is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing technology type in the market during the forecast period. Thermosets and thermoplastics are two categories of powder-based coatings. Cross-linker is included in the formulation using thermosets. The performance attributes of the powder are improved by polymerization when the powder is baked and reacts with other chemical groups in the powder. Thermoplastics, on the other hand, merely flow out into the final coating during the baking process and do not go through any additional action. Due to the absence of solvents in the coating formulation, powder coatings present an appealing potential for pollution avoidance. There is no hazardous waste to dispose of, and these have high transfer efficiency.

End-Use Trends

"The industrial segment accounted for the largest market share."

Based on the end-use industry type, the market is segmented into architectural, industrial, general industries, OEM, wood, and others. Industrial is expected to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing end-use industry type in the market during the forecast period. Although it frequently offers both, an industrial coating or paint is defined by its protective rather than its decorative qualities. They are used to prevent corrosion in steel or concrete. However, this is a complicated market with several uses. General industrial, automotive OEM, automotive refinish, wood, protection, marine, coil, packaging, aerospace, and other industries are divided under the category of industrial application. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the widespread implementation of containment measures by Member States, as a result, had a substantial negative impact on the industrial productivity of the EU in 2020. In the same year compared to 2019, industrial production in the European Union fell by 7%, but it increased by 8% in 2021 compared to 2020. Almost all industrial operations have seen a boost recently, with the production of basic metals reaching its highest peak.

Country Insights

In terms of country, Germany is expected to remain the largest market for European paints and coatings during the forecast period. Germany's economy is the fourth largest in the world and the biggest in the European Union. It is the most populous and industrialized nation in Europe. The market for industrial and ornamental coatings in Europe is dominated by this nation. Additionally, it was the world's largest exporter of decorative coatings in 2021, with an export share of 16.9%. It is anticipated that the construction industry will grow faster than the nation's economy.
