OVERVIEW
Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture to objects. Paint can be made or purchased in many colors and in many different types, such as watercolor, synthetic, and so forth. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Normally the major constituents of paints are solvents. A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. The coating itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may cover only parts of the substrate.

Functionally, paints and coatings provide an aesthetically pleasing colored and/or glossy surface; they also help metal and other substrates withstand exposure both to their environment and to everyday wear and tear. The term "coating" in this report excludes inks, thinners, and raw materials such as pigments and solvents. Paints are a type of coating; as such, this BCC Research report's title emphasizes the inclusion of paints in the report.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This report studies the role of paints and coatings in providing color and protection; explains the technology; highlights the innovation behind coatings development and production; and provides a market overview, analyzing major market trends both in terms of region and application segment. In addition, the report details the new developments taking place in the paints and coatings industry with respect to continuous improvements in environmental performance.

The report analyzes the market for various coating products as well as the market for the technologies involved. The market for various emerging technologies in coatings as well as the new products produced using these technologies are discussed in the report. The report also analyzes applications of coatings in detail and the markets for such applications, with a special emphasis on the new products being developed and their markets. Continued research and development is taking coating technology to new heights along with the development of new products, and a close look into such technologies is presented in the report. New applications from emerging technologies are also discussed.

The increased demand for coatings is also driven by customers' expectations in diverse areas such as performance, ease of application, sustainability, quality, functionality, and environmental properties. Special attention is needed from manufacturers to meet these expectations in order to ensure that manufactured products meet expected standards and that the market remains buoyant. This report pinpoints the need for the industry's commitment to continuous improvement in environmental performance and takes a look at a future in which the functionality of coatings will be enhanced and transformed from the conventional areas of protection and aesthetics to meet additional and more specific demands.

The report specifically deals only with the market for consumption of paints and coatings in different regions and not the production of these items in these regions. Thus, consumption may also include imports in some regions where production is not self-sufficient. However, this report does not include the market for equipment and accessories for painting, powder coating, and other coating processes.
