The architectural coatings market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•There has been considerable growth in the architectural coatings market size in the past few years. The market is expected to rise from $81.45 billion in 2024 to $85.95 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.
The increase during the historical period can be credited to factors such as the boom in construction, trends in urbanization, regulatory adherence, raw material costs, and consumer tastes.
The architectural coatings market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of architectural coatings is predicted to witness robust expansion in the approaching years. It is projected to reach "$109.54 billion by 2029 with a 6.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
The surge during the forecast period can be credited to factors like increasing investments in infrastructure, elevated consumer knowledge, global financial patterns, health and safety issues, and innovative product formulations. Key trends during the forecast period encompass sustainability and eco-friendly initiatives, incorporation of cutting-edge technology, digital evolution in advertising, customization and individualization, and growing demand in developing markets.
The architectural coatings market is set to experience robust growth, fueled by the swift expansion of the construction industry. The construction sector, encompassing all activities around the creation, repair, and upkeep of infrastructural facilities, heavily relies on architectural coatings. These coatings are typically used for various applications such as painting building exteriors and interiors. Moreover, architectural coatings play a pivotal role in creating the requisite air barriers for energy-efficient building enclosures. For instance, data from the UK-based Office for National Statistics (ONS) from August 2024 depicts an estimated 0.4% rise in monthly construction output, spurred by a 1.6% surge in new work. Similarly, the United States Census Bureau (USCB), a US government agency, reported that the US expended $1.83 billion on construction activities in 2022. Consequently, the accelerated growth in the construction sector is propelling the advancement of the architectural coatings market.

Product innovation is becoming a significant trend in the architectural coatings market as leading companies in the sector are developing novel products to maintain market standing. An example of this was seen in February 2023 when PPG Industries Inc, a paint and coating manufacturer from the United States, introduced PPG STEELGUARD 951. This innovative epoxy intumescent fire protection coating is designed to meet the modern needs of architectural steel with up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection. This coating is specific for the architectural field, offering fire protection. It also provides effective corrosion defense for highly corrosive environments up to ISO 12944 C5 without the necessity for a top coating. This reduces both project timelines and expenses while achieving the intended results.
