India Industrial Paints & Coatings Market Trends:

Growth in Infrastructure Development

The growing investment in infrastructure development, including roads, bridges, and government buildings, is one of the major trends of India's industrial paints and coatings market. With schemes like "Smart Cities" and "Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)," the demand for coatings that provide durability, protection, and aesthetics has grown. Industrial coatings and paints are today essential for the durability and strength of infrastructure and buildings. Further, coatings are applied to improve the surface finish, corrosion resistance, and provide weather protection. This market trend is a manifestation of an increased dependence on cutting-edge products and technologies, especially in commercial and public markets, fueling consistent growth in the industry. For instance, in March 2025, Birla Opus Paints, a part of Grasim Industries under the Aditya Birla Group, opened its first Birla Opus Paint Studio in Gurugram. Featuring over 170 products, the center offers exclusive options for consumers. This initiative is part of their expansion plan to increase retail presence across India. Birla Opus aims to become India’s second-largest decorative paints brand by opening more centers in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

Shift Towards Eco-friendly and Sustainable Coatings

The growing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices is reshaping the India industrial paints and coatings market growth. With the implementation of stringent regulations regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and environmental impact, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on producing low-VOC and water-based coatings. These products not only align with global environmental standards but also cater to consumers' rising demand for greener alternatives. Additionally, the rise in eco-conscious construction projects and demand for sustainable manufacturing processes in industries like automotive and textiles is contributing to this shift. Manufacturers are investing in R&D to develop innovative coatings that ensure superior performance while being environmentally responsible, which is a significant trend in the industry. For instance, at Paint India 2024, Arkema showcased its innovative technologies for sustainable paints and coatings, focusing on circularity, energy efficiency, and decarbonization. The company highlighted bio-based, low-carbon solutions such as waterborne resins and cool roofing technologies. Arkema also emphasized its commitment to sustainability through partnerships and mass balance approaches, aiming to reduce carbon emissions. With products like Synaqua® and Crayvallac®, Arkema is supporting the transition towards eco-friendly, high-performance coatings in response to growing consumer demands for sustainability in construction.
