Challenges In Interior Architectural Coating Market

Several factors inhibit the growth of the interior architectural coating market. First, raw material price fluctuations have to be factored into the core components of the formulations: pigments, resins, and solvents—critical elements for production cost and profitability. Second, stringent environmental legislation, in particular pertaining to volatile organic compounds, calls for huge investments in research and development in designing formulations that are compliant without sacrificing performance. The competitive environment is very aggressive, with forces from both established participants and new entrants; continuous innovation and differentiation will be required to maintain market share. Moreover, the intrinsic cyclicality of the construction industry translates to cyclic demand for interior coatings: if construction activity is low in an economic cycle, then coating sales are lower, and increasing labour and distribution costs squeeze overall profitability even more. Finally, the growing interest in sustainability and indoor air quality brings opportunities but also challenges, since manufacturers of such products will have to juggle environmental performance with product effectiveness and consumer expectations.
