The Global Automotive Paints Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 11.43 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 3.16% from 2023 to 2033.         

 

Market Overview

Automotive paint is a water-based formula that is sprayed on the surface of an automobile using a spray gun. These paints contain polyurethane-based enamel, which protects the surface from environmental damage while also improving the aesthetics of motor vehicles. Furthermore, the process of painting an automobile consists of defined steps that ensure the application of a protective and efficient coating. Body-in-white (BIW) is a temporary assembly of automobile parts and body panels. The automotive paint is then applied in a temperature-controlled environment to accelerate the drying process. Multiple stages of application are used to ensure the paintwork's integrity over time. Furthermore, the global automotive paints market is expanding steadily due to increased vehicle production and aesthetic customization trends. Water-based and eco-friendly coatings are gaining popularity due to environmental concerns. In addition, technological advancements are propelling the development of advanced coatings with improved durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.

Due to these factors, the global automotive paint market is growing significantly.

 

Restraining Factors

However, the presence of solvents such as toluene in paints, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOC) and harm the environment, as a result, paint makers must invest in research and development to generate eco-friendly paint compositions, which can raise production costs and reduce profit margins. Furthermore, rising raw material prices, are expected to hamper the growth of the global automotive paints market.

 

Market Segmentation

The global automotive paints market share is classified into type, vehicle type, and technology.

 

• The clearcoat segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global automotive paints market during the forecast period.   

Based on the type, the global automotive paints market is divided into electrocoat, primer, basecoat, and clearcoat. Among these, the clearcoat segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global automotive paints market during the forecast period. The growing need for a high gloss finish and an appealing exterior look on modern and expensive automobiles stimulates the demand for clearcoats in the global automotive paints market. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations and long-term protection against micro scratches are expected to stimulate demand for the clearcoats segment in the global automotive paints market.

 

• The passenger cars segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global automotive paints market during the forecast period.   

Based on the vehicle type, the global automotive paints market is divided into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and others. Among these, the passenger cars segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global automotive paints market during the forecast period. This is owing to the absolute volume of production and the varied aesthetic tastes of passenger cars. The passenger cars segment has a high need for coatings that improve appearance, protect against corrosion, and ensure lifetime, which is driving market expansion and innovation. Because of these factors, the passenger car segment is experiencing the fastest growth in the global automotive paints market.

 

• The waterborne segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global automotive paints market during the forecast period.   

Based on the technology, the global automotive paints market is divided into solvent-borne, waterborne, powder coating, and others. Among these, the waterborne segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global automotive paints market during the forecast period. This is because waterborne technology is environmentally friendly and produces fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than solvent-based technologies.

Recent Developments

• In August 2023, Axalta announced the addition of RADAR-compliant color formulas to its global online color databases, including ChromaWeb, Phoenix Cloud, and Standowin iQ Cloud. ADAS sensors are frequently positioned behind painted plastic surfaces on vehicles, and the coating layers can have a direct impact on the signal sent and received by the ADAS sensors. Certain hues, such as those containing a high concentration of aluminum flakes, can interfere with RADAR sensors. Axalta created RADAR-compliant color formulations for hues that are known to interfere with RADAR sensors.
