Architectural Metal Coatings Market Report 2026

The architectural metal coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.74 billion in 2025 to $6.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial construction activities, growth of urban infrastructure projects, rising use of metal facades, advancements in coating formulations, increasing renovation activities.

The architectural metal coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable buildings, rising adoption of energy-efficient architectural materials, expansion of smart city infrastructure, growing demand for long-life coatings, increasing focus on aesthetic building design. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of high-performance exterior coatings, rising demand for uv-resistant metal finishes, expansion of coil and extrusion coating applications, increased use in green building projects, enhanced focus on long-term corrosion protection.

The rise in urbanization and urban development is expected to drive the growth of the architectural metal coatings market going forward. Urbanization refers to the increasing concentration of populations in cities, typically through migration from rural areas and the expansion of urban spaces. As urban areas grow, metal structures and architectural elements are exposed to environmental stressors such as pollution, harsh weather, and UV radiation. Architectural metal coatings protect these structures from corrosion, weathering, and degradation, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. For example, in December 2023, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a US-based government agency, reported that globally, 88% of the population lived in urban areas in 2023, with an annual urbanization rate of 0.78% (2020-2025 estimate). Consequently, the increase in urbanization and urban development is fueling the architectural metal coatings market.

Technological advancement is a significant trend gaining traction in the architectural metal coatings market. Leading companies in this sector are moving toward sustainable and eco-friendly coatings to safeguard both user health and the environment. Architects and specifiers are seeking alternatives in architectural metal coatings that offer sustainability, durability, and a diverse color palette. For example, in November 2023, AkzoNobel, a Netherlands-based coatings and paints company, introduced Interpon D1036 Low-E, an industry-first architectural powder coating that can be cured at temperatures as low as 150°C. This innovative product is certified as Qualicoat class one, making it a dependable choice for environmentally conscious consumers. By curing at temperatures 30°C lower than conventional powder coatings, Interpon D1036 Low-E can help customers decrease energy consumption by up to 20%. Furthermore, it facilitates a curing process that is up to 25% faster, allowing manufacturers to coat more products in less time.

In March 2023, Stahl Holdings B.V., a Dutch-based chemicals company specializing in manufacturing specialty coatings and treatments for flexible substrates, completed the acquisition of ICP Industrial, a US-based manufacturer of coating and adhesive solutions. The acquisition reflects Stahl Holdings B.V.'s commitment to fortifying their product range, production capabilities, and emphasizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leadership within the industry.
