Australia Paints and Coatings Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Low-VOC and Eco-Friendly Products

The growing emphasis on sustainability is deeply influencing product innovation for Australia's paints and coatings industry. Stringent environmental regulations and growing consumer demand for low-odor, non-toxic products are pushing the shift to low-VOC and eco-friendly formulations. The shift is one of the main drivers of the Australia paints and coatings market share, with manufacturers employing bio-based materials and waterborne technologies to keep pace with evolving standards. For instance, in October 2023, Glasurit announced the launch of AraClass, an innovative range of clearcoats and undercoats in Australia, combining quality, speed, and sustainability. Featuring EcoBalance products that significantly reduce CO2 emissions, AraClass aims to enhance profitability while promoting eco-effectiveness, supporting the automotive repair industry's transition toward environmentally friendly solutions. Green building certifications and energy-efficient construction are also driving the adoption of sustainable coatings in residential, commercial, and industrial markets. Retailers and contractors are responding to this demand by carrying and recommending products that are environmentally aligned. Product labeling and marketing now also frequently highlight eco-compliance as a key selling point. This change in demand among consumers and conformity with regulation will remain a key force behind Australia paints and coatings market growth over the coming years.

Rise in Powder Coating Adoption

Powder coatings are witnessing increased adoption in Australia, especially within industrial and architectural applications, due to their superior durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. These coatings are solvent-free, generate minimal waste, and emit near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a preferred option for environmentally conscious projects. Their ability to provide uniform finishes without runs or drips adds to their appeal in automotive, appliance, metal furniture, and infrastructure segments. Local manufacturers and applicators are also investing in advanced powder coating technologies to meet demand from mining, transport, and construction sectors. For instance, in August 2023, Capral Aluminium installed a new CUBE Plus vertical powder coating line at its Huntingwood facility, enhancing automation and efficiency. The company also acquired Allyman Aluminium, expanding its distribution network in NSW. This move aligns with Capral’s commitment to sustainability, as it achieves ASI certification for its operations. Moreover, the ease of recyclability and the potential for automation in application processes are encouraging broader use across high-volume production lines. As regulatory bodies continue to support sustainable industrial practices, the role of powder coatings is expected to expand significantly in the Australia paints and coatings market outlook.
