Automotive OEM Coatings Market Summary
The global automotive OEM coatings market size was valued at USD 16.15 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 20.85 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is driven by increasing demand for commercial utility vehicles, a shift toward more efficient transportation, and a rising preference for personal automotive transport, especially in the premium vehicle segment.
In addition, the growing demand for passenger cars and the trend toward lightweight vehicles that offer lower fuel consumption and higher efficiency are creating new opportunities in the global market. Despite challenges such as high raw material costs, strict environmental emission standards, and concerns related to solvent-borne automotive coatings, the market is set to see substantial growth. Furthermore, investments in R&D for alternative production methods, strategic collaborations, and new product launches are expected to drive lucrative opportunities in the global market.
The Asia Pacific region-including countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea-dominates the market in terms of consumption. China is one of the largest consumers in the global market. Demand for coatings, particularly in the passenger car segment, is expected to rise in the post-recovery period. This is due to factors such as increasing investment opportunities in the Middle East and Africa, as well as the growing demand for electric vehicles. Rising per capita disposable income, especially in developing economies like China, India, and Thailand, has further propelled demand for passenger cars and, consequently, automotive OEM coatings.
The considerable expansion of the automotive industry, combined with growing demand for commercial utility vehicles and energy-efficient transportation, has significantly contributed to the growth of the automotive OEM coatings industry. The production of new cars, trucks, and other vehicles boosts demand for coatings, as they are essential to the painting and manufacturing process. Overall, demand is driven by increasing vehicle sales, rising disposable incomes, and the broader expansion of the automotive industry. China, as a major consumer, plays a pivotal role in shaping the global market.
Strategic collaborations, acquisitions, and R&D initiatives accelerate innovation, improving durability, faster curing times, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. These efforts align with stricter environmental regulations and meet evolving consumer expectations, thereby driving market growth and positioning companies competitively in a rapidly changing automotive landscape. In September 2024, BASF launched sustainable clearcoats using its innovative ChemCycling technology. These new product lines, made from recycled feedstock, are part of BASF's Glasurit and R-M premium brands, boosting body shop efficiency, and reducing emissions of CO2.
