The anticipated surge in the renovation activities for both commercial and residential buildings is poised to be a significant driver for the growth of the painting tools market in the foreseeable future. Renovation, involving the restoration and modification of aging structures, necessitates the use of various painting tools to accomplish tasks such as wall cleaning, scraping loose paints, and rust removal from metal surfaces, among others. As of December 2023, data from the Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS), a US-based university research center, reveals a noteworthy trend in American households' expenditures on home improvements. In 2020, individuals in the United States allocated $363 billion for home improvements, renovations, and repairs, a figure that escalated to $406 billion in 2021, indicating an impressive 11.8% year-on-year increase. This robust growth underscores the increasing inclination towards enhancing and maintaining residential and commercial properties, thereby contributing to the upswing in the demand for painting tools.

The anticipated upswing in automotive production is poised to be a key catalyst for the expansion of the painting tools market in the coming years. Automotive production, encompassing the manufacturing of various vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles, relies extensively on painting tools for crucial applications. These tools are instrumental in applying protective coatings, enhancing aesthetic appeal, and ensuring the durability of vehicle surfaces. They play a pivotal role in contributing to corrosion resistance, facilitating color customization, and upholding overall product quality. As of May 2023, reports from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based association representing automobile manufacturers, indicate a global production of 85.4 million motor vehicles. This figure reflects a notable 5.7% increase compared to the production levels observed in 2021. Consequently, the surge in automotive production stands as a driving force behind the growth trajectory of the painting tools market.

Technological advancement is a prominent trend gaining momentum in the painting tools market, with major companies concentrating on the development of cutting-edge innovations, particularly in the realm of do-it-yourself (DIY) solutions, to expand their market share. A case in point is AkzoNobel India, an India-based company specializing in paints and coatings. In April 2022, the company introduced Dulux Simply Refresh, an all-encompassing range of DIY solutions encompassing decorative paints, repair solutions, and painting kits. Dulux Simply Refresh spray paint, within this range, stands out as a user-friendly aerosol incorporating low drip and low splatter technology.
