“Sustainable Formulations and Smart Coating Technologies”
- One prominent trend in the Architectural Coatings market is the rising demand for eco-friendly and sustainable coatings, driven by stricter environmental regulations, increasing awareness of VOC emissions, and the global shift toward green building practices
- Manufacturers are innovating with water-based, low-VOC, and bio-based coatings that minimize environmental impact while maintaining durability, color retention, and resistance to weathering
- For instance, bio-based resins derived from soybeans or castor oil are being integrated into architectural coatings to reduce dependence on petrochemicals and align with LEED certification goals.
- The emergence of smart coatings—including self-cleaning, anti-microbial, and temperature-regulating paints—is gaining traction in residential and commercial construction. These coatings improve indoor air quality, reduce maintenance needs, and enhance energy efficiency, providing value-added benefits beyond traditional aesthetics
