Asia, as evident from the above headlines, promises strong market growth and demand for coatings solutions. The construction and automotive industries in Asia, particularly China and India, are expected to continue its expansion. Thus investments for localized coating production as well as R&D have been inked, to enable efficient and faster reaction to customer requirements, and maintain long-term competitiveness in this important sector.
The “Sustainability” wave or requirement is steering the global coatings industry to be consciously responsible on their solution offerings as well as their production operations. Recent new production facility in Thailand is slated to use state-of-the art technology that seeks to maximize operational efficiency and minimize waste generation. Meanwhile, in the auto coatings, progress have been made with the first successful application of a clearcoat containing a (70%-biomass composition) bio-based hardener.
Stricter environmental move towards low or zero VOC regulations, have motivated the green routes in coating formulations. The new rules are enforcing the transition from various solvent-based paints to water borne coatings. The global market for coatings with low or zero VOC content is forecast to reach $85.7 billion by 2018, spurred by the expansion by major manufacturers in China and India. The marine industry can also expect improvements in operational, cost and environmental efficiency, thanks to high-performing antifouling coatings.
