Global paint industry develops towards low pollution and energy saving

The world paint industry has experienced a turbulent development process. With the rapid development of the world economy in the new century, it has driven the growth of the paint industry, especially the Asian paint industry represented by China and India, leading the rapid development of the world's coatings. The global outbreak of the financial crisis caused a decline in the paint industry's production and consumption. According to the understanding of global paint market consumption reached 60 billion pounds, the market value of about 87 billion US dollars.

The paint consumption in most Asia-Pacific countries declined year-on-year. Due to the continued growth in the paint market in China and India, the Asia Pacific region became the only coating market in the world in 2009. European and North American paint consumption accounted for 22% of the world's total - At 23%, the world paint market is now devaluing the decline of Dongsheng and the Asia Pacific region has become one of the world's largest paint demand regions.

The development characteristics of the global paint industry The world paint industry is characterized by the fact that world-class companies adopt the strategic mergers and acquisitions, cooperation and joint ventures, and the rational distribution of paint production and markets to form the scale effect of market integration, so that the paint industry becomes more collectivized and scaled. The direction of professional development, so as to achieve the purpose of global rationalization of business. The world's 10 largest paint companies account for one-third of the world's total paint, while the market share reaches 60%. This trend is extending to developing countries.

After the enactment of the International Environmental Protection Law, the developed countries have put forward three major premise and four principles for the development of the paint industry, namely: pollution-free, provincial resources, energy and economy, efficiency, ecology, and energy. In addition, the research on the pigment paste for new coatings and the research on various effective coating additives are also active.

The paint giant monopolized one-third of global paint production and the company developed low-VOC (organic volatiles). Environmental pollution has received more and more attention from human beings. Various governments have successively formulated relevant laws and regulations. The United States, Japan, and Europe and the United States also have set limits on VOC content in environmental regulations. Reducing the content of VOCs has become the general trend in the development of foreign architectural coatings.

Development trend of the global coating industry The world coating industry is developing in an intensive and specialized direction, and mergers and acquisitions are increasing. The world's 50 largest paint companies, sales and sales account for about 45% of the global total, the world's 10,000 small and medium-sized paint manufacturers account for only 55% of the total, multinational paint companies have become increasingly monopolized. At the same time, in order to meet the various needs of users, the degree of serialization and specialization of coating products is also getting higher and higher, in order to enhance the market adaptability and market competitiveness of the products.

The world paint industry presents a trend toward low-pollution, energy-saving, and multi-functional. Currently, it is actively developing energy-saving, resource-recycling, and waste paint reclaimed coatings. For example, Japan and other countries will use CO2 greenhouse gas to harm their benefits to make isocyanate-free polyurethane coatings. Another example: Japan, Germany and other countries use the characteristics of plant regeneration to produce recycled coatings, and European and American countries are also committed to waterborne coatings and The research and development of functional coatings such as negative ions, self-cleaning, and self-healing.
