OEM Coatings Global Market Report 2026

OEM coatings denote thin layers of a substance applied to an object's surface, aimed at augmenting crucial attributes and forming a protective shield against environmental deterioration.

The primary categories of OEM coatings include powder coatings, water-borne coatings, solvent-borne coatings, and radiation-curable coatings. Powder coating is a dry process commonly employed as a metal finish, prevalent in various applications spanning automotive, wood and non-wood furniture, metal building finishes, paper and paperboard, electrical insulation, and others. These coatings find extensive usage across transportation, consumer goods, heavy equipment, machinery, and diverse end-user industries.

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 are influencing the OEM coatings market by increasing costs of imported resins, pigments, additives, curing agents, and coating application equipment. Automotive and machinery manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on global raw material supply chains, while Asia-Pacific faces margin pressure in export-oriented coating production. These tariffs are raising production costs and affecting OEM pricing structures. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic resin manufacturing, localized coating formulation, and innovation in cost-efficient, low-emission coating technologies.

The oem coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $77.32 billion in 2025 to $82.33 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive manufacturing output, increased use of protective coatings in machinery, growth of industrial equipment production, rising demand for aesthetic finishes, availability of advanced resin technologies.

The oem coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $103.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of sustainable coating solutions, expansion of electric vehicle production, rising investments in smart coating application systems, growing demand for lightweight materials protection, increasing regulatory pressure on solvent emissions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of low-voc coating technologies, rising demand for powder and water-borne coatings, growing use of automated coating lines, expansion of high-durability oem finishes, enhanced focus on corrosion and wear resistance.

The increase in demand from end-use industries is expected to propel the growth of the OEM coatings market going forward. OEM coatings refer to the coatings that are applied during the process of integrating other companies' products onto a substrate. These coatings are essential for various end-use industries, such as automotive and consumer electronics, by enhancing performance and reducing costs, thereby driving higher demand for OEM coatings. For instance, in March 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based vehicle industry association, the EU car market expanded robustly in 2023 by 13.9% compared to 2022, reaching a volume of 10.5 million units. Therefore, the increasing demand from end-use industries is driving the growth of the OEM coatings market.

Major companies operating in the OEM coatings market are focused on introducing innovative technological solutions, such as wet-on-wet painting technology, to gain a competitive edge. Wet-on-wet painting technology involves applying additional layers of paint onto a still-wet base coat, streamlining the painting operation and reducing production time in original equipment manufacturing by eliminating intermediate drying steps. For instance, in May 2023, Nippon Paint Holdings Co. Ltd., a Japan-based paint and paint products manufacturer, introduced 'Wet-on-Wet' painting technology. This innovative solution drastically reduces painting cycle time, energy requirements, and labor costs while significantly improving productivity in the painting process. By reducing the need for sanding and baking, the WoW technology can increase productivity by up to 50% and cut costs by up to 20%.

In December 2024, Kymera International, a U.S.-based specialty materials and surface technologies provider, acquired Coating Center Castrop GmbH for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Kymera aimed to expand its thermal spray service capabilities and strengthen its presence in the European OEM and industrial coatings market. Coating Center Castrop GmbH is a Germany-based provider of thermal spray and precision machining services, supplying coatings and surface treatments to aerospace, marine propulsion, pharmaceutical, and industrial OEM customers.
