Key Trends in the Market

Paints and coatings are chemical materials usually made of pigments, solvents, resins, and various additives. They are primarily applied to different surfaces to modify their appearance and provide protection from mechanical damage, weathering, corrosion, and temperature. Although similar, paints are mainly used to improve appearance while providing minimal to no protection, while coatings are used for performance and provide a protective barrier to prevent deterioration.

• The primary factor enhancing the Egypt paints and coatings market growth is the increasing demand for materials from the building and construction sector. The ongoing economic development has increased the urban population of Egypt, leading to a surge in construction activities and the expansion of the real estate sector. Furthermore, a rise in disposable income has also enabled customers to spend on renovations and decorations, boosting the usage of paints and coatings.
• Technological advancements driving innovations is one of the major Egypt paints and coatings market trends. With the implementation of technologies such as nanotechnology and the addition of nano-scale titanium dioxide, manufacturers have created a paint that hardly needs cleaning as the tiny particles reduce the friction on the surface, preventing dirt or stains from sticking to the surface.
• There is a global shift in interest towards the production of environmentally friendly products to promote sustainability. Manufacturers in Egypt are also adopting this trend to develop lower volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and coatings. The Egypt paints and coatings market demand is expected to grow rapidly in the forecast period with increased awareness about such products and the implementation of strict regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
