Paint, Coatings & Printing Ink Manufacturing in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Running low: The current economic climate is diluting spending on industry products, denting revenue growth

The Paint, Coatings and Printing Ink Manufacturing industry's revenue has remained steady over the five years through 2023-24, with falling demand from end-user industries limiting sales volumes. Rising prices of key commodities and inputs have underpinned revenue as manufacturers can pass on these cost rises to customers. The industry's most prominent players are subsidiaries of major international operators with strong national, regional and global brand names for various paint products. Several businesses are also vertically integrated, meaning that competition occurs throughout the supply chain rather than just at the manufacturing level.

Companies in this industry are predominantly involved in the manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings (such as enamels or lacquers) along with mastics and sealants. The industry also includes those involved in the manufacture of printing ink.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
