The global industrial coatings market size was valued at USD 93.63 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 116.68 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2030. Market growth is largely driven by the increasing use of refinish coatings in automotive maintenance, repair, and aftermarket applications, which improve visual appeal, enhance surface protection, and boost corrosion resistance.

Industrial coatings serve a wide range of end-use sectors, including automotive and vehicle refinishing, electronics, aerospace, oil & gas, mining, marine, and power generation. Automotive and refinish coatings remain among the most significant product categories, with demand rising due to their ability to enhance durability and maintain surface integrity.

These coatings are also extensively used in commercial and industrial environments such as warehouses, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, retail outlets, garages, and aircraft hangars. They provide long-lasting protection against moisture, stains, and cracking while delivering smooth, durable flooring capable of withstanding heavy loads.

The global construction industry's expansion has been a major driver of demand for floor coatings. Rapid population growth and accelerating industrialization-particularly in countries such as the U.S., China, India, Indonesia, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE-have prompted governments to increase construction spending, thereby contributing to overall market growth.
