The world market of automotive paint coating is growing at a considerable pace. The market is growing due to the restrictions on the use of solvents based paints which are high in volatile organic chemicals (VOC) and has enabled the promotion of the use of water based paints which need a greater quantity of additives to make good quality paint.

These restrictions have resulted into the development of novel additives with multi-functionality, zero percent volatile organic chemicals, and self-healing properties. The market can be geographically segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East, South and Central America, and Africa. The market is growing at the fastest rate in the Asia-Pacific region and is expected to achieve 40 percent of global market share by 2018. The mature European and North American markets are mainly driven by innovative product developments and new technology.

Growing pressure from the automotive industry to reduce the price of paints is in turn expected to curtail the growth of the revenue of the paint additive industry. Hence, pricing pressure is the area of concern for the automotive paint additives industry. In order to drive the demand in the future, the paint additive industry is expected to develop innovative products that are perfectly balanced with cost, quality, environment-friendliness and optimal usage.
