Coating resins market was valued at $46.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $73.5 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2025-2035). The global coating resins market is growing due to high demand from construction, automotive, and infrastructure industries, coupled with increasing consumer demand for high-performance, sustainable coatings. Its key growth factors include economic development in emerging regions, technological advancements in resin formulations, and a shift towards eco-friendly options like water-borne and UV-cured coatings. However, the market is challenged by volatile raw material prices, supply chain disruptions, and stringent environmental regulations that can affect production costs and pricing.

Market Dynamics

Increasing Demand for Sustainable Coatings

The shift towards eco-friendly and sustainable coatings is a significant driver in the global coating resins market. Regulations limiting volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and growing environmental awareness among consumers are pushing industries to adopt waterborne and low-VOC coatings. This trend is particularly evident in the architectural and automotive sectors, where there is a strong emphasis on reducing environmental impact.

Growth in Construction and Infrastructure Development

Urbanization and industrialization are leading to a surge in construction activities worldwide. The demand for durable and aesthetically appealing coatings in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings is increasing. Coating resins play a crucial role in enhancing the longevity and appearance of structures, driving their demand in the construction industry.

Advancements in Automotive and Industrial Applications

The automotive industry requires high-performance coatings for vehicles to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Similarly, industrial applications demand coatings that can withstand harsh environments and provide long-lasting protection. Innovations in coating technologies are enabling the development of resins that meet these stringent requirements, thereby fueling market growth.

Market Segmentation

Based on the resin type, the market is segmented into acrylic, epoxy, polyester, alkyd, vinyl, polyurethane, and others.
Based on formulating technology, the market is segmented into water-borne coatings, solvent-borne coatings, powder coatings, and others.
Based on the end-use industry, the market is segmented into building & construction, transportation, packaging, consumer goods, and others.

Acrylic Segment to Grow at a Considerable Market Share

Among all segments in the global coating resins market, acrylic resins lead with the largest market share. Acrylic resins accounted for about 35% of the global market revenue, making them the dominant resin type in the industry. Their widespread use in architectural coatings, floor finishes, and automotive coatings contributes significantly to this leading position. Acrylic resins are favored for their excellent weather resistance, UV stability, and color retention properties, making them ideal for exterior applications. Additionally, the shift towards eco-friendly coatings has further bolstered the demand for acrylic resins, as they can be formulated to meet low-VOC and waterborne standards. This combination of performance and environmental compliance positions acrylic resins as the cornerstone of the global coating resins market.

Water-Borne Coatings: A Key Segment in Market Growth

Among the various segments in the global coating resins market, waterborne coatings are the fastest-growing segment. This dominance is attributed to their eco-friendly properties, including low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which align with stringent environmental regulations and growing consumer demand for sustainable products. Waterborne resins are extensively used in architectural coatings, industrial applications, and automotive finishes, offering advantages such as faster drying times and enhanced durability. Their versatility and compliance with environmental standards make them the preferred choice across multiple industries.

Regional Outlook

The global coating resins market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

Asia-Pacific Region to Hold a Substantial Growth Rate

In the Asia-Pacific region, China dominates the global coating resins market, holding a major share due to its robust industrial base, rapid urbanization, and expansive infrastructure development. In 2024, China accounted for approximately 33% of the Asia-Pacific's coating resins consumption, with the region itself representing 44% of the global market. The country's thriving construction and automotive sectors drive high demand for durable and high-performance coatings, while government support and large-scale infrastructure projects further bolster market growth. Additionally, China's strong manufacturing capabilities, competitive pricing, and increasing focus on eco-friendly, low-VOC coatings enhance its global leadership position, making it the key contributor to the worldwide coating resins market.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies operating in the global coating resins market include Aerogen, Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, Koninklijke Philips N.V., OMRON Corp., and PARI GmbH, among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.

Recent Development

In March 2025, BASF Coatings increased its production capacity in Caojing, China, to meet growing automotive demand in the Asia Pacific region. The plant, established in 2015, now produces 18,800 metric tons of polyester and polyurethane resin annually. BASF Coatings plans to enhance electrocoat binder production through process optimization.
