Concerns about the environmental effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in a variety of chemicals, including paints and coatings, are fuelling demand for low-VOC paints and coatings. Because of the negative effects on the environment and human health, several governments have enacted strict regulations to reduce VOC emissions. Over the forecast period , such statutes are expected to open up opportunities for the low VOC paints and coatings market. Greater demand for low VOC paints and coatings has resulted from increased regulatory pressure and public awareness of environmental and health issues, leading to the development of low solvent or solvent-free water-based decorative paints and coatings. Instead of petroleum solvents, low VOC paints and coatings use water as a carrier.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused the global economy to slow down. The food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries are all experiencing significant sales declines. This scenario has had a negative impact on the global market’s growth. Aside from that, many players in the low VOC paints and coatings market are experiencing production and trading disruptions. As a result, key players in the low VOC paints and coatings market are focusing more on strategizing their business moves in order to resume normal operations.
Top Impacting Factors
Manufacturers have been encouraged to focus on the development of low VOC paints and coatings, as well as traditional oil-based or hydrocarbon solvent-based paints and coatings, due to stringent government and environmental regulations regarding the emission of harmful VOCs. The increase in the number of health problems such as asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems has resulted from the emission of harmful VOCs. Low VOC paints and coatings are in high demand because of this. The demand for low VOC paints and coatings has risen because of increased consumer awareness and ongoing technological advancements. As a result, significant funds have been allocated to the research and development of low-VOC paints and coatings.
Market Trends
