Market Opportunities
Growing demand for green coatings from the building & construction industry is expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the market of paints &coatings. For instance, in March 2017, PPG launched a new bio-based wall paint for the professional and consumer market. The new paint is based on DSM’s revolutionary Discovery bio-based technology. The paint enhances the indoor air climate of homes, offices and schools by removing up to 70 percent of the harmful formaldehyde from the indoor air.
Increasing use of polyurethane as a raw material for the manufacturing of paints and coatings as it offers long-term resistance properties to corrosion and scratch is projected to bring new market opportunities. For example, water-based polyurethane formulations are gaining popularity across the construction industry due to their durability. Thus, the growing use of polyurethane as a raw materials is expected to foster market growth.
