By Application, the Passenger cars segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024
In the automotive industry, solvent-based coatings are valued for their robust adhesion properties, enabling them to form a strong bond with diverse substrates, including metals, plastics, and composite materials. This feature ensures a durable and long-lasting finish, even under harsh environmental conditions. Solvent-based coatings exhibit superior resistance to chemicals, solvents, fuels, and abrasion, making them ideal for applications where durability and protection are paramount, such as automotive exteriors and underbody components. These coatings provide a tenacious and resilient shield against environmental factors and road debris. Additionally, they boast a longer shelf life compared to water-based paints due to their resistance to microbial contamination and degradation over time.
By Product, Solvent-based products segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024
In the automotive industry, paints and coatings play a pivotal role in enhancing the visual appeal and value of passenger cars. Manufacturers provide an extensive array of color options, including solid, metallic, pearl, and custom finishes, enabling consumers to personalize their vehicles. Brands often differentiate themselves through distinctive paint colors and designs. Furthermore, specialized coatings, such as clearcoats and protective film, are applied to safeguard the exterior against minor damages, preserving the vehicle's appearance and resale value. These advanced coatings provide an extra layer of protection against scratches, stone chips, and road debris.
APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024
The automotive industry's robust expansion in key Asian markets, including China, India, Japan, and South Korea, driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and infrastructure development, has significantly boosted the demand for automotive paints and coatings.
