"Strategy To Manage Rising Raw Material Costs & Balancing Demand For Eco-Friendly Coatings" The robust Asia-Pacific region, especially the booming markets of India, Indonesia and China, has recently seen a flurry of expansion and M&A activities by multinational coatings companies. The high demand for paints and coatings in the region are driven by the growth of end-user industries such as construction, automotive and furniture, as well as a growing affluent population.
Despite coatings industry players reporting healthy sales, profit margins are on the decline attributed to escalating raw material prices. A global shortage of titanium dioxide has resulted in several price hikes by suppliers in the past year leading to coatings producers passing on the price increases to their customers. What strategies are companies adopting to manage the price hike?
Green continues to be favoured by coatings consumers, who are driving the demand for eco-friendly products. Stricter regulations and plenty of incentives to go green leave the coatings industry no other option but to take the sustainable approach. Get updated on the latest environmental legislation and incentives in the different markets and industries in Asia, and find out how a leading coatings producer balances its strategies to minimise its carbon footprint in the production of eco-friendly paints.
