Tackling Margin Squeeze & Raw Material Challenges
"The global paints and coatings industry is gradually recovering from the economic downturn and producers say they expect pockets of improvement this year, especially in emerging markets." April 2010, Chemical Week
After 12 months of uncertainty and crisis, the coatings industry is rebounding. Triggered by improvements in regional construction activities and manufacturing of end-use products such as automotives and containers - Asia is recording a steady growth margin. However, the surge in demand has caused a supply constraint and even shortages of some raw materials globally. How will Asia face the challenges of rising prices and supply/demand balance?
CMT's 11th Asia Coatings Markets is back in Ho Chi Minh City and brings panel of industry experts to discuss the impending challenges and opportunities for the sector.
Key Focus
You will network with
CEOs, MDs, Business Development Directors/Managers, Marketing & Sales Directors/Managers, Product Development Managers, Technical/R&D Managers from Paint & Coating Manufacturers/Traders, Raw Materials Producers/Traders, Chemicals & Additives Suppliers/Technology Providers/End-users, etc.

“...the Asia-Pacific paint market has been rated at almost 13.9 million tons in 2009, and is forecast to grow by about 7.9% per year in the period to 2014, when the market will top over 20 million tons.
Vietnam, which has attracted significant industry investment in recent years, is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Asian region and like Indonesia, it will become a good prospect for the paint industry, but on two levels. Firstly there is strong investment in construction and infrastructure. Secondly, accession of Vietnam to the World Trade Organization in the future is likely to liberate industry, which will translate into further industrial development, particularly in segments such as cars and manufacturing.”

“Going green has become popular with professionals in the painting industry as well as with consumers across the board, and professionals are keeping up with the interest in green coatings from all perspectives, both by acknowledging the demand aspect as well as from the perspective of meeting regulations by specifying the appropriate product,” said Revnew*.
“Recent technological advances in environmentally responsible coatings have also brought a new generation of performance-rich interior products to the market that offer even longer-lasting durability and high-end aesthetics, along with application ease,” Revnew continued.

‘Nippon is rolling out a new (water-based) paint that can glow in the dark.
In the past, there were no water-based self-glow paints as the phosphor particles, the key ingredient for glow-in-the-dark products, dissolve in water.
But NanoBright, a spin-off company from the National University of Singapore (NUS), formed by two researchers together with two NUS alumni, discovered a process that could resolve this issue.’

“The marine, yacht and offshore coatings market was a mixed bag in 2009. While certain segments were soft, other areas, particularly newbuilding and offshore, offered growth opportunities.
While it’s too early to tell what 2010 will bring, Sherwin-Williams is seeing some projects that had been on hold moving forward, and existing projects that were going slowly have increased their pace. These indicators could lead to a positive outcome for the remainder of the year.
Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region comprises the largest market for marine coatings. According to McRae, Global Marketing Director of Sherwin-Williams, nearly 70%of the market is now in the Asia-Pacific region.”

SINGAPORE, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asia Pacific paint and coatings market is growing in line with the robust economic growth seen in the region. In 2008, the paint and coatings market in APAC was valued at USD40.1 billion with a volume of 13.6 million tonnes (or approximately 11 billion litres). This makes up roughly 30-35% of the global paint industry.
In the last 5 years, the APAC paint market enjoyed a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 15 per cent. However, effects of the economic slump hit the market in the second half of 2008 continuing into the first half of 2009. Industry players only started to see a positive rebound in late 2009.
Overall, in 2009, the market is estimated to have only recorded marginal growth. The negative growth seen in most countries has been buffered by the positive growth coming from China and India. Industry players are positive and confident on seeing positive growth numbers in 2010 and 2011.
According to Frost & Sullivan's Program Manager of Chemicals, Material and Food Practice Sheila Senathirajah, within ASEAN, the two key hot spot markets are currently Vietnam and Indonesia. These countries have not been hit as hard as other ASEAN countries as it has a relatively lower share of advanced manufacturing with its growth stemming from domestic demand.
"The growths of Vietnam and Indonesia are expected to remain positive over the coming two years. These countries have begun to show high growth potential with double-digit growth rates and equally low domestic consumption. There is much opportunity in terms of volume sales exist in these countries," she adds
