The strong demand for paints and coatings in the region is driven by expansions in end-user segments such as construction, automotive, and offshore and marine sectors. According to Frost & Sullivan, increasing regulation on health and environment is driving the region’s water-based coatings market. Higher domestic consumption and investments in infrastructure across most Asian countries will sustain this growth to 2016.
