Acrylic water-based paints are formulated with acrylic polymer emulsion as a binding agent and water as a solvent, offering rapid drying times, minimal odor, and effortless cleanup. Renowned for their adaptability, capacity to adhere to various surfaces, and resilience, these paints find widespread use in both residential and commercial settings for interior and exterior applications.
The primary constituents of acrylic water-based paint include pigment, binder, and additional additives. Pigment serves as the coloring agent, providing hue and opacity to the paint. Acrylic water-based paints are applied on diverse substrates such as metal, paper, wood, canvas, fabric, and glass. They cater to an array of applications including skirting boards, metal appliances, outdoor furniture, architectural paints, bridges, and more, servicing industries ranging from building and construction to electrical and electronics, textile, footwear, furniture, among others.
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 impacted the acrylic water based paints market by increasing costs of imported acrylic resins, specialty additives, and performance pigments used in paint formulations. These effects are particularly significant in building and construction segments across asia pacific and europe, where large volumes of raw materials are sourced internationally. Higher costs have influenced pricing and procurement decisions for manufacturers. However, tariffs have supported local resin production, encouraged domestic sourcing of additives, and strengthened regional paint manufacturing ecosystems, improving long term supply stability.
The acrylic water based paints market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides acrylic water based paints market statistics, including acrylic water based paints industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a acrylic water based paints market share, detailed acrylic water based paints market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the acrylic water based paints industry. This acrylic water based paints market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The acrylic water based paints market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $35.8 billion in 2025 to $38.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in construction activities, demand for interior decorative paints, regulatory limits on solvent emissions, advancements in acrylic resin technology, consumer preference for low odor paints.
The acrylic water based paints market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $46.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to urbanization and housing development, stricter environmental regulations, growth in infrastructure renovation, innovation in acrylic binder formulations, rising demand for durable exterior coatings. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing shift toward low voc paint solutions, rising adoption in residential and commercial construction, growing demand for easy application and fast drying paints, expansion of water based paints in exterior applications, higher preference for environment friendly coating systems.
The uptick in construction activities is anticipated to drive the expansion of the acrylic water-based paint market in the foreseeable future. Construction activities encompass a range of tasks involved in erecting, renovating, or altering buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. The surge in construction activities is fueled by factors such as burgeoning urbanization, infrastructure development projects, and the expansion of real estate markets, all of which contribute to the heightened demand for water-based acrylic paints. Construction projects often entail renovation, refurbishment, and maintenance endeavors aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of existing structures. Acrylic water-based paints find extensive usage for both interior and exterior applications in such construction projects. For example, as per data from the Office for National Statistics in November 2023, Great Britain witnessed a 3.9% (£393 million) upswing in the total construction of new orders in Quarter 3 of 2023 compared to Quarter 2 of the same year. This surge was primarily driven by substantial increases in public other new orders and infrastructure new orders, which soared by 23.7% (£265 million) and 14.3% (£204 million), respectively. Hence, the escalating construction activities are bolstering the acrylic water-based paint market.
Companies operating in the acrylic water-based paint market are channeling their efforts towards technology-driven enhancements, particularly with bio-based technology, which involves integrating natural plant-derived ingredients to substitute petroleum-based resins. This innovation in bio-based technology aims to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with paint production while offering environmentally sustainable solutions to consumers. For instance, in January 2023, PT Mowilex Indonesia, a manufacturer of premium paints and coatings based in Indonesia, unveiled Naturalle Paint, a water-based acrylic binder featuring bio-based technology containing 28% renewable raw materials. This pioneering paint mitigates formaldehyde levels in indoor air by leveraging plant-based components, thereby enhancing indoor air quality with its zero-VOC formulation and formaldehyde-absorption capability. Naturalle paint is environmentally conscious and offers a formaldehyde abatement feature that can elevate indoor air quality.
In February 2024, INEOS Automotive, a UK-based manufacturer of off-road vehicles, partnered with BASF's Coatings division on a global automotive refinish and paint development project. This collaboration aims to surpass industry standards in vehicle body repair and paint refinishing, focusing on delivering sustainable refinish solutions, advanced digital color-matching technology, and comprehensive training. BASF's Coatings division, a Germany-based leader in automotive paints and coatings, including waterborne acrylic coatings, will leverage its expertise to enhance the refinish process. This partnership underscores INEOS Automotive's commitment to quality and innovation in vehicle manufacturing and repair, ensuring long-term sustainability and excellence in automotive aesthetics.
