Indian paints & coatings industry projected to reach Rs 1 tn in 5 years

According to Akzo Nobel India, the Indian paints & coatings industry is expected to expand to Rs 1 lakh crore in the next five years, up from its current value of Rs 620 billion. This information was revealed by Akzo Nobel India in a recent statement.

Furthermore, the latest annual report of Akzo Nobel India, a prominent player in the sector, stated that the margin for the paints & coatings industry would improve. In FY23, the industry experienced a decline in raw material prices compared to their previous highs. The report mentioned that this development resulted in improved margins for the industry, considering that raw materials make up approximately 55-60% of the input costs.

The report also highlighted that the entry of several new players into the industry has made it an attractive sector. These newcomers are actively investing in infrastructure, technology, and marketing to establish their presence and gain a market share. The report stated that this increased competition has compelled existing players to enhance their capabilities and differentiate themselves in order to maintain their market position. As a result, there has been a surge in investment activity within the industry.

Over the past few years, companies such as Grasim Industries, Pidilite, and JSW have entered the paints & coatings segment, competing with established manufacturers such as Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac, and Akzo Nobel India. These companies collectively control nearly three-fourths of the market.

The report mentioned that the industry's size is estimated to grow from Rs 620 billion to Rs 1 trillion over the next five years.

The paints & coatings industry is divided into two categories: the architectural segment and the industrial segment. The architectural segment dominates the industry, accounting for approximately 69% of paint consumption based on volume. This segment primarily serves residential, commercial, and institutional construction projects, as well as repainting and renovation projects.

The remaining 31% of paint consumption comes from the industrial segment, which is experiencing a growing share due to various factors.

The report explained that the industrial sector's robust growth, combined with the strong fundamentals of consumer durables, automobiles, and allied industries, has driven the demand for industrial coatings. These coatings find applications in sectors such as automotive, infrastructure, machinery and equipment, functional and domestic appliances, and packaging.

Regarding the future outlook, Akzo Nobel India, operating in the industry through the Dulux brand, stated that the prospects of the paints & coatings industry are closely tied to the overall growth of the country's economy. Several factors, including income levels, industrial production, and infrastructure development, influence the industry's prospects.
