Paints & Coating

Vibrant protection for a changing world.

Sustainable Paints and Coatings for a Vibrant and Durable Future

The paints & coatings segment bears a direct equation with millennials’ increasing home ownership and rising purchasing power. Currently, sustainability and a heavy inclination towards health & safety are driving the demand for sustainable products and innovation in this field. It is a highly regulated market that will need some more time to complete its shift to the greener end. Therefore, innovations like smart paint & coatings, biobased paint & coatings, and VoC-free paint coatings will need some more time to become a norm. Performance and productivity are other aspects driving innovations in this industry. The focus is on providing the same or better performance for less price, less energy, and time. Businesses need to focus on developing durable paint and coatings to provide longer product life and maintain the same performance or appearance with or without less maintenance. Anticorrosion, Anti-dust, or self-healing are some of the attributes that need to be actively explored or researched.
Acrylic is one of the major constituents of paints. Efforts are being made to find suitable sustainable alternatives or sustainable sources of acrylics.
Digitalization efforts in the paint and coating industry are majorly focused on improving customer interaction and feel, finding new applications and machines through AI and ML, optimizing manufacturing processes, and looking for newer business models.
