The global architectural coatings market is driven by the construction boom, especially in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific region. In addition, changing consumer preferences and growing awareness among people regarding the safety and VOCs emissions from architectural coatings is also driving the market

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 09/29/2017 --The major factors driving the global Architectural Coatings Market are growth of construction industry and the increase in investments for infrastructure maintenance. The developing economies have also witnessed an increase in the civil construction activities. However, the use of toxic chemicals in coating formulations is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Architectural Coatings Market, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the global market was valued at $57,270 million in 2015, and is projected to reach $81,861 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2016-2022. Based on the function, ceramics occupied more than one-sixth share of the total market in 2015.

Apart from that, the shift from solvent borne to water borne coating formulations will also contribute to the growth of global architectural coatings market during the forecast period. However, stringent government regulations against the harmful VOCs emitted by certain architectural coatings may hinder the growth of market. The adoption of green coatings being developed is expected to create several growth opportunities for the market. These coatings comply with the norms of regulatory bodies regarding the safety and VOC emissions. Government support towards these coatings will drive their adoption in the future. Moreover, expanding application areas of nanocoatings will also create opportunities for growth.
