CLEVELAND, April 9, 2021 / PRNewswire / – While the global paints and coatings market declined in 2020 due to weakened construction and manufacturing activity amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the residential real estate market for architectural paints was a major ray of hope.
In January, Sherwin-Williams reported record sales for the final quarter of 2020, citing increased DIY repainting amid the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things.
In the U.S. and a few other countries with similarly strong DIY cultures, the pandemic led to a surge in home improvement work as residents spent more time in their dorms and worked remotely due to social distancing and being ordered to stay at home – one tackled a wide range of home improvement projects, with repainting being one of the most popular renovation projects.
Renovation and repainting of residential buildings will account for 30% of the global demand for new colors by 2024
By 2024, residential remodeling and repainting applications are expected to account for 60% of global new demand (in terms of volume) for architectural paints and 30% of total paints and coatings market gains. Repainting cycles vary widely by country based on a number of factors including:
- Building material, with some materials such as wood requiring repainting more often than others
- Degree of wear, whereby repainting has to be carried out more frequently under rough climatic conditions
- Consumption habits (higher disposable incomes usually shorten repainting cycles)
- Other cultural factors, such as tradition in countries like Mexico and Indonesia Repainting houses before major holidays
In general, however, the fastest progress is expected in developing countries by 2024 – namely India – When rising incomes expand home ownership and shorten repainting cycles.
In developed areas like North America and Western EuropeRefinishing activities are already well established and vary more with business cycles – with a tendency to increase during periods of recession as homeowners are more likely to remodel their current homes than buy new ones.
