The decorative paints industry is expected to be driven by the growing construction of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings across the world. The market is likely to witness a 5.4% CAGR during the coming assessment period of 2023 and 2033.

Surging demand for interior decorations, and renovating residential houses, coupled with urbanization, industrial growth, and expansion of infrastructure are some of the factors driving the decorative paints industry. FMI has projected the market valuation to reach USD 108 billion by 2033 end. The decorative paints market represented nearly 45% of sales in the paints and coatings industry in 2022.

Decorative paints will become more popular if they have unique finishes and textures. Metallic finishes, textured surfaces, and even 3D-printed patterns will become possible with paints manufactured by manufacturers. Consumers will be able to create visually appealing and personalized spaces thanks to these innovations.

Antimicrobial paints are increasingly in demand due to increased attention being paid to health and hygiene. Painting surfaces can inhibit bacterial growth, mold, and other microorganisms, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

The use of decorative paint in a smart home can be integrated with electrical and heating control as well as the display of digital content on painted surfaces. Painting spaces with this integration will improve their aesthetics and functionality, improving their immersive quality.

Artists or designers collaborating with paint manufacturers will drive innovation in decorative paints. A wide range of color palettes, patterns, and artistic effects can be created, allowing consumers to express themselves individually.

Demand for decorative paints grew at 5% CAGR between 2018 and 2022. In the current scenario, the overall domestic consumer space is witnessing a significant rise due to urbanization.

How is Urbanization Impacting Decorative Paints Sales?

Growing Disposable Incomes and Consumer Interest in Artistic Products Is Expected to Grow Demand in Coming Years

Rapid urbanization, improving the standard of living, and growing interest of customers towards improving the aesthetic appeal of their homes and residential buildings have led to increasing demand of decorative paints.

Powered with high disposable income, consumers’ demand preference has shifted to paints with highly resilient characteristics along with a modern taste of estheticism. This change in demand pattern is expected to work as a catalyst for the global decorative paints market growth.

Owners of commercial buildings such as office buildings, hotels, malls, and others spend a willingly on the renovation of their buildings every three to five years. This also includes expenditure on exterior paints and wall paints in order to maintain the visual aesthetics of their facilities.

Growth in the number of commercial buildings and skyrocketing construction of affordable housing projects are further anticipated to boost the demand for wall paints and exterior paints in the coming years.

As per FMI, the demand for decorative paints will be especially high in the Middle East and Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia Pacific. The paint industry will continue to benefit from nanotechnology. The incorporation of nanoparticles into paints can improve the paint's durability, UV resistance, and thermal insulation properties. A longer-lasting and higher-performing decorative paint will be the result of these advancements.
