The market for cement based paint is experiencing steady growth, driven by the rising demand for infrastructure development. Countries invest considerably in construction of roads, bridges, and airports that are aimed at reinforcing urbanization and industrialization. Cement based paints are more likely to be preferred for the protection of these structures from weathering, corrosion, and abrasion and as a result often increase the lifespan and decrease maintenance costs.
Technological progress in the formulation of cement based paints is generating innovations with more noticeable performance characteristics and aesthetics. Paint manufacturers have been involved in a search for improved formulas of the paints with improved adhesion, longer lifespan, and more colors and finishes. Moreover, the innovations covering self-cleaning, and antimicrobial were supplemented to cement based coatings, which are especially preferred in buildings that demand a higher performance. With this new technology indeed satisfying the ever-changing customers their products can stand out in the present competitive market landscape.
Expansion of Retail Distribution Channels
The expansion of both physical and digital distribution networks has significantly improved consumer access to cement-based paints. This accessibility enhances the overall consumer experience by making these products readily available through various channels. Technology providers through home improvement stores, specialty paint shops and online platforms are the convenience avenues which are always accessible for the customer’s type. The enhanced supply chain is particularly valuable in emerging economies such as India and Brazil, where rapid urbanization and government investments in infrastructure are key drivers of increased demand for construction materials. These factors are crucial in supporting the growth of urban centers and upgrading public amenities, which in turn stimulates the market for building materials like cement-based paints.
Utilizing multiple marketing channels enables manufacturers to effectively reach a broader audience, thereby capitalizing on urbanization trends in emerging economies, which are key drivers of demand for cement-based paints. According to estimates in a report by UNCTAD, the rise in e-commerce during COVID-19 lockdowns propelled the proportion of online retail sales in total retail sales from 16% to 19% in 2020.
Government Initiatives and Regulations
As the government puts efforts to fund infrastructure that propels the economy, the calls for cement based paints will keep on increasing. As per the preliminary estimates unveiled by the National Statistical Office (NSO) on May 31, 2023, India's actual gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the fiscal year 2022–23 stood at 7.2%, in contrast to the 9.1% growth recorded in 2021–22.
The activities include a green building certification incentive program, subsidies for draught insulation and energy-efficient materials and regulations on the use of eco-friendly structural products. Cement based paints with low ecological footprint, and compliance with green building standards go hand in hand with the mentioned initiatives. The government provides support to manufacturers through higher demand for their products as well as growing appreciation for cement based paints as environmentally friendly substitutes for regular coatings.
The market is also being driven by increasing investments and capacity expansions:

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a cement based paint manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Cement based paint manufacturing requires white or ordinary Portland cement as the main ingredient, along with pigments, calcium carbonate, marble powder, mineral fillers, and waterproofing agents. Additives such as dispersants, anti-settling agents, and preservatives are also used to enhance paint consistency and durability.
A cement based paint factory typically requires ball mills or edge runner mills for grinding, mixing tanks, weighing and dosing systems, sand mills, high-speed dispersers, filtration units, packaging machines, and dust collection systems. Laboratory equipment for quality control and shade testing is also essential.
The main steps generally include:
Procurement and inspection of cement, pigments, and fillers
Weighing and batching of raw materials according to formulation
Dry mixing or wet grinding to achieve uniform particle size and color dispersion
Addition of additives and water to form a consistent paste
Filtration to remove impurities and ensure smooth texture
Quality testing for shade, viscosity, and coverage performance
Filling, sealing, and labeling of paint containers
Storage, warehousing, and distribution to retailers or construction suppliers
Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start a cement based paint manufacturing plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.
