Water-Borne segment held the largest share in the South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in the year 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. The waterborne coating generally uses water as a solvent to disperse the resin which is added to create the coating. Its composition varies and may include as much as 80% water with small amounts of other solvents such as glycol ethers. High water content makes water-borne coatings both environment-friendly and easy to apply. Waterborne coatings offer a wide range of applications, including automotive, concrete, furniture, plastic, wood, and are compatible with both conventional and electrostatic application equipment. Containers and paint guns used during the application of water-borne coatings can be easily cleaned with water or water-based cleaners, without the need for cleaners such as acetone, methyl acetate, or paint thinners.

Two component segment held the major market for South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in the year 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Two-component convertible coatings include epoxies, polyurethanes, and others. These coatings are also referred to as 2K coatings that require the intermixing of resin with a hardener. This causes a chemical reaction that chemically bonds the two components together, resulting in a paint film that is superior to one-component paints in terms of chemical, fading, and abrasion resistance. These paints consist of base paint and a hardener and are vigorously combined in the appropriate ratio and then rapidly applied. However, these paints have a high solid content. Hence, they are also called high solid paints. It majorly used as a final layer for the protective coating of metallic surfaces such as steel, stainless steel, new or aged galvanized steel, aluminium, copper, brass, bronze. Moreover, used on concrete surfaces including floors and masonry, in industrial and chemically aggressive environments, naval, railway, food industry, and more. Hence with the increasing usage of two-component paints, the paints & coatings market is expected to grow.

Acrylic segment has dominated the market for South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in the year 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Acrylic surface coatings are used in various paints & coatings market categories including architectural, protective, decorative and more. It acts as a physical barrier layer to isolate the surface of metal from corrosive environment. Moreover, acrylic surface coatings are preferred for their inertness, industrial as well as color retention property when exposed to outdoor conditions. Waterborne acrylic resins are used in a wide range of industrial preservation and commercial architectural coatings. Acrylics have excellent resistance to UV light, toughness, resistant to grain cracking over wood and is also hydrolytically stable. Hence owing to its property the acrylic demand in paint & coatings have grown.

Decorative/Architectural has been the primary market for South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in the year 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Decorative/architectural are the major application of paints and coatings, which accounts for the major share in the South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in terms of both value and volume. Furthermore, nowadays coatings with lower VOC is no longer a specialty product offering, it is a must have option. The decorative/architectural paints & coatings are used in roofs, floors, walls, facades, wood trims, doors and other applications. However, rising installment projects of roofing technology in the South African cities is anticipated to drive the demand for paints and coatings in the forecast period. For instance, as part of the Cool Roofs and Insulation Partnership, the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) has planned to install 26,000 m2 of cool roofing technology in the City of Cape Town as per the news report of November 2020. 

 

Industry of paint and coatings focuses on sustainability and being "green" there is also a lot of consensus defining the green coating. In addition, the coating industry tends to be ahead of the standards of the consumer when considering the environmental effects of both processes and products. Cost and performance continue to be key drivers of purchasing decisions, and green products are only considered if they provide added value commensurate with any cost premium. Green, however, is no longer a movement but a well-established way of doing business for the industry, and there has been a major change from concentrating exclusively on air-quality to an approach that incorporates all aspects of processes and goods that lead to sustainability. Thus, this tends to drive the South Africa Paints And Coatings Market in the upcoming years.

In South Africa, 75.1% of the medium-term estimate is spent on economic infrastructure, primarily by state-owned enterprises. These funds will be used to increase power generation capability, strengthen sanitation and water systems, and upgrade and extend the transportation network. The infrastructure for social care accounts for 20.9 percent of the total, with health and education accounting for 4.6 and 7.2 percent, respectively. The public sector is forecast to invest R257 billion ($17.79 billion) on infrastructure in 2019/20, up 19% from the previous year. This is largely due to higher planned investment by state-owned enterprises, which are expected to restart or launch infrastructure projects that were previously postponed. Therefore, this tends to drive the market growth for South Africa Paints And Coatings Market. 

The prices of paints largely depend on the cost of raw material. About 30% of the raw materials of paints and coatings are petroleum-based derivatives. Thus, any rise in the price of crude oil would lead to a shift in the price of raw materials. Over the last few years, there have been a lot of increases in crude oil prices that have impacted the margins of the paint firms. Pressure rose further as a result of the recession and thereafter of the fall in demand. The main raw materials are titanium dioxide, phthalic anhydride and canarithrithol. They reflect about 50 percent of the overall cost. Thus, any fluctuation in petrol prices can decline the market growth for South Africa Paints And Coatings Market.
