Booming Housing Construction Activities Stokes Growth

Majorly fuelling growth in the global wood coatings market are the growing number of housing construction activities worldwide and the increasing disposable incomes of people which has driven up sales of furniture. Environmental regulations placed on emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is also providing headwinds to the market. As per the lead analyst of the TMR report, “Numerous initiatives for bringing down emission of VOCs have taken by industries and organizations. Growing awareness about coatings with low volatile organic compounds and implementation of safety regulations have resulted in the swift uptake of wooden coatings.”

Fluctuating Raw Material Prices Pose Challenge

Posing headwinds to the market for wood coatings, on the other hand, is the volatility in raw material prices. Acrylic and polyurethane are the primary raw materials used in the manufacture of wood coatings. Since they are dependent on the prices of crude oil, their prices get affected thereby posing a challenge to the market.
