Argentina Architectural Coatings Market - Forecast (2020 - 2025)

The Argentina Architectural Coatings market has experienced slow growth in the recent years owing to a steady decline in completed area of construction since 2011. In the city of Buenos Aires, the cyclical downfall of completed construction area was significant after the peak of 2011 (1.8 million m2). The total area came down to 1.03 million m2 in 2014, a decline of 43%and crashed to 0.57 million m2 in 2016. However, moving forward, the demand for architectural coatings in Argentina will be fueled by the healthy rise in residential building construction, helping the market reach $550m by 2025.

Argentina Architectural Coatings Market Outlook

The new residential market for architectural coatings will witness the fastest growth through 2020 as home building activity continues to rebound strongly from the depths of the housing crisis. However, most of the demand will be generated by the residential improvement and repair market.

Argentina Architectural Coatings Market Growth Drivers

Argentina is one of the largest countries in Latin America. The country is witnessing increased construction activities after several years of low growth. According to a World Bank report, Argentina is currently undergoing an economic transformation that promotes the construction sector; and hence, the architectural coatings market in the country is set to benefit from it.

Argentina Architectural Coatings Market Challenges

The construction industry contributes 3.2% to Argentina’s GDP. The residential construction sector suffered recently from certain foreign exchange currency restrictions imposed in Argentina. Also the high inflation (about 20% - 25%) is a challenge for the housing market, particularly for developers of real estate projects. With an increase in the price of land and in the cost of construction, investment in the residential sector has considerably decreased over the last few months. This has affected the architectural coatings demand.
