Acrylic Surface Coating Global Market Report 2026

An acrylic surface coating is a protective layer made from acrylic polymers, designed to enhance the durability and appearance of various surfaces. These coatings are widely utilized across different applications due to their excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as UV light, moisture, and chemicals. Their versatility and protective properties make acrylic surface coatings highly sought after in numerous industries.

The primary types of acrylic surface coatings include waterborne coatings, solventborne coatings, and powder coatings. Water-based acrylic coatings use water as the main solvent, making them environmentally friendly and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They are applied to materials such as concrete, plastic, and metals, serving a range of end-user industries including building and construction, automotive and transportation, furniture, aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics, marine, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have affected the acrylic surface coating market by increasing costs of imported acrylic resins, solvents, and coating additives used across multiple end use industries. These impacts are most visible in construction, automotive, and furniture applications across Asia Pacific and North America. Higher tariffs have pressured coating prices and project costs. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged domestic resin production, expanded local coating manufacturing capacity, and driven innovation toward cost optimized and regionally sourced acrylic coating solutions.

The rising demand in building and construction is expected to drive the growth of the acrylic surface coating market going forward. Building and construction involve the processes of creating and assembling structures, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The demand in this sector is fueled by increasing urbanization, population growth, and the need for infrastructure development, which encourage investments in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Acrylic surface coating is applied in building and construction to provide durable, weather-resistant finishes that enhance the appearance and longevity of surfaces. For instance, in November 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government agency, the value of new construction work in Great Britain rose to £139,029 ($161,447.43) million in 2023, up from £132,989 ($154,433.48) million in 2022. Therefore, the rising demand in building and construction is propelling the growth of the acrylic surface coating market.

Major companies operating in the acrylic surface coating market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as acrylic paints, to provide an eco-friendly, sustainable alternative for artists and crafters while reducing waste and environmental impact. Acrylic paints are a type of acrylic surface coating that consists of pigments suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion, which serves as the binder. For instance, in April 2024, Decoart, a US-based manufacturer of acrylic paints and specialty finishes, launched a DecoEARTH. It is an all-purpose acrylic paint made with 70% recycled materials, specifically formulated from reclaimed house paint that would otherwise end up in landfills, offering artists and crafters a sustainable option with 27 mixable colors, a premium matte finish, and excellent coverage across various surfaces, including canvas, wood, and metal; it adheres smoothly and provides a buttery consistency, making it easy to apply, and its water-based formulation ensures easy cleanup while being non-toxic and environmentally friendly, appealing to both art educators and hobbyists looking for high-quality, eco-conscious materials.

In October 2023, The Sherwin Williams Company, a US-based manufacturer of paints, coatings, and surface protection solutions for industrial, commercial, and consumer markets, acquired Klumpp Coatings GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sherwin Williams aimed to enhance its global surface coatings portfolio and expand its presence in high-performance wood, flooring, and surface coating segments by integrating Klumpp's specialized coating technologies and European manufacturing capabilities.
