Furthermore, growing concerns regarding sustainability and emphasis on green buildings are augmenting the demand for eco-friendly wood coatings. Innovation in formulation and introduction of bio-based and low VOC coatings will further aid the business expansion over the next few years.
Growing Demand from Construction Industry
The global construction industry has been experiencing steady growth over the past few years and this growth is expected to continue going forward. There has been a rising population worldwide which is translating to increased construction of residential and commercial buildings. Both developing and developed countries are witnessing major infrastructure projects in areas like transportation, energy, and utilities. All these construction activities require huge quantity of wood products, which, in turn, drives the demand for wood coatings. Whether it is for doors, windows, furniture, or other structural applications, wood offers advantages like sustainability, stability, and aesthetics. In order to protect wood from outer environment including weathering, corrosion, and degradation, coatings play a very important role. They help in improving the lifespan of wood substantially. With the persistent growth trends in construction, wood consumption will keep rising worldwide, thereby augmenting the market for wood coatings as protecting wood remains critical.
Environmental Concerns and Sustainability
Globally, the drive towards environment protection and sustainability has gained strong momentum in recent years. More companies and consumers are becoming conscious about using eco-friendly products. In the coatings industry also, this change is visible with growing preference for green coating solutions. Wood is one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly building materials available. However, conventional coating chemicals contain toxic components which release harmful pollutants into environment. There is rising emphasis on developing bio-based, natural, and low VOC coatings for wood. Manufacturers are focusing on innovations to formulate coatings with renewable resources and minimal environmental impact. Standard paints and varnishes are extensively researched and redesigned to make them greener. Both regulatory push and customer demand are favoring such sustainable wood coatings. Many developed nations have implemented stringent norms to curb hazardous emissions from coatings. This changing regulatory scenario and customer attitudes towards sustainability present significant market opportunities for green wood coatings.
