Architectural Coatings Market Report 2026

The architectural coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $84.78 billion in 2025 to $89.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of residential and commercial construction, increasing renovation and remodeling activities, rising urban infrastructure development, expansion of real estate sector, availability of advanced coating formulations.

The architectural coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of sustainable construction practices, rising demand for smart and functional coatings, expansion of green building certifications, growing focus on long-lasting protective coatings, increasing investments in infrastructure modernization. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of low-voc and water-borne coatings, rising demand for durable and weather-resistant finishes, expansion of decorative and aesthetic coating solutions, increased focus on energy-efficient building materials, premiumization of architectural finishes.

The rising industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the architectural coatings market in the coming years. Industrialization is the process of economic and social transformation characterized by a shift from agrarian economies to manufacturing and mechanized production systems. This process increases demand for architectural coatings due to growing infrastructure development, which requires protective and decorative coatings for buildings and structures. For example, in April 2024, a report by the Federal Reserve Board, a U.S.-based governmental organization, stated that industrial production increased by 0.4% in March, while manufacturing output rose by 0.5%, partly supported by a 3.1% increase in motor vehicles and parts. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, factory output grew by 0.3%. Therefore, increasing industrialization is expected to propel the architectural coatings market forward.

Leading companies in the architectural coatings sector are focusing on cutting-edge solutions, notably advanced powder coating, to address evolving needs and elevate product quality. Advanced powder coating denotes an innovative method applied to provide durable and protective coatings for pet food ingredients or products. For instance, in November 2023, AkzoNobel, a Netherlands-based paint and coating company, launched Interpron D1036, a pioneering architectural powder coating. This formulation cures at temperatures as low as 150°C, significantly lower than standard powder coatings. This lower curing temperature potentially yields energy savings of up to 20% and a faster curing time of up to 25% compared to traditional powders, enhancing overall coating process efficiency.

In August 2023, AkzoNobel N.V., a Netherlands-based company, acquired Sherwin Decorative Paint for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen AkzoNobel's product portfolio and expand its presence in the decorative paints sector by leveraging Sherwin's innovative paint formulations and established customer base. Sherwin Decorative Paint, a U.S.-based manufacturer, specializes in premium paints and coatings, offering high-quality decorative finishes for both residential and commercial applications, along with eco-friendly solutions to address growing sustainability demands.

Major companies operating in the architectural coatings market are AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, Sherwin-Williams, Nippon Paint Holdings, Asian Paints, Kansai Paint, Jotun, RPM International, Berger Paints, Tikkurila, Masco Corporation, DAW SE, Benjamin Moore, Cloverdale Paint, Kelly-Moore Paints, Diamond Vogel, Hempel, Beckers Group, SK Kaken Co. Ltd., Noroo Paint & Coatings, KCC Corporation, Sika AG.
