Based on resin type the acrylic resin segment is projected to hold the leading position in market share. Its fast drying rate along with resistant characteristics and flexibility make it ideal for use in paint and coatings. Owing to its characteristics this resin is generally found in architectural coatings for walls along with various other interior and exterior applications. The expanding infrastructure projects are anticipated to drive the need for acrylic resin.

Based on technology, waterborne technology is anticipated to experience the fastest growth rate owing to their quick drying rate and superior durability. It also has high block resistance along with minimal VOC emissions. These valuable properties make the segment suitable for use as decorative paint applications in residential or commercial buildings. The Salman City Expansion program was launched by the Housing Ministry in Bahrain in 2021. The rising number of housing projects in these countries will lead to a greater use of waterborne coatings which are prevalent in residential and commercial architectural coatings thereby supporting market growth.

The solvent borne segment is also experiencing growth. This segment is produced by incorporating liquefying agents which evaporate when they react chemically with oxygen. The air around the coating accelerates the reaction which helps to shorten the drying period. The coatings exhibit less sensitivity to environmental factors like humidity or temperature during the curing process in comparison to waterborne type. The growing demand for solvent based coatings in applications like furniture and industrial equipment is driving the segment growth. The demand for solvent based coatings in the GCC is witnessing minimal growth because waterborne coatings become increasingly preferred. The growing preference for waterborne coatings is mainly driven by environmental issues with supportive government regulations favoring coatings with lower VOC emissions.

Based on end use industry, the architectural segment is witnessing substantial growth. Increasing urbanization stands as the leading driver behind the segment growth. The expanding cities and increasing populations are fueling a higher demand for construction which subsequently elevates the need for architectural coatings. The push for 500,000 new housings in Saudi Arabia will further intensify the need for architectural paint and coatings.
