India Automotive Paint Market Trends:

Increasing vehicle production and sales

Rising vehicle production and sales are fueling the market growth. As per the IBEF, in December 2024, the combined output of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles reached 19,21,268 units in India. As more vehicles are being manufactured each year, both for domestic use and export, the need for base coats, primers, topcoats, and clear coats is increasing significantly. Automotive paints not only enhance the visual appeal of vehicles but also provide essential protection against environmental damage, corrosion, and wear. With the growing competition among automakers, there is a higher focus on aesthetics and long-lasting finishes, which is encouraging innovations in the automotive paint segment. People are seeking cars with vibrant colors, customized finishes, and improved durability, motivating manufacturers to explore advanced paint technologies. Rapid urbanization activities are leading to higher vehicle ownership, especially in the two-wheeler and passenger car segments, further driving paint demand. Moreover, the expansion of retail channels is enhancing the accessibility of a wide assortment of automotive paint in the country. As India’s automotive sector is thriving with support from government initiatives and infrastructure development, the automotive paint market is experiencing steady expansion, driven by the need for performance and aesthetics in vehicle finishes.

Growing focus on vehicle maintenance and refurbishment

The increasing focus on vehicle maintenance and refurbishment is propelling the India automotive paint market growth. Regular maintenance helps preserve resale value and improves the visual appeal of both new and used cars, leading to a higher demand for repainting and touch-up solutions. Workshops and service centers are employing advanced paint technologies for catering to evolving customer expectations. Refurbishment activities are also expanding in the used vehicle market, where older vehicles are restored to like-new condition through repainting. According to the IMARC Group, the India used car market size was valued at USD 36.00 Billion in 2024. Fleet operators and commercial vehicle owners are investing in repainting to maintain brand image and vehicle condition. Paint manufacturers are responding by offering quick-drying, eco-friendly, and durable coatings that meet modern performance standards. Rising disposable income allows more vehicle owners to spend on cosmetic improvements, adding momentum to this market. As a result, the emphasis on maintenance and refurbishment is becoming a key growth driver for automotive paints in India.
