The global market for automotive refinish coatings is on the brink of a key transformation – shift from solvent-based to water-based coatings. Strict regulatory reforms related to VOC emissions, especially across developed economies such as North America and Europe, have led to a decline in the global consumption of solvent-based coatings in the past few years. Solvent-based coatings being the dominant revenue-generator of the global automotive refinish coatings market, this trend has dealt a huge blow to the market’s overall growth prospects. Nevertheless, it has also led to an increased focus on the development of water-borne products, which are known to have lesser negative impact on the environment.

Transparency Market Research estimates that the global automotive refinish coatings market will exhibit a healthy 5.7% CAGR over the period between 2016 and 2024. At this pace, the market, which had a valuation of US$6.6 bn in 2015, holds the prospects of rising to US$10.8 bn by 2024.
