Growing environmental concerns among consumers are compelling them to prefer eco-friendly products over conventional products. Restrictions imposed by governments over the use of various environment-degrading products also have resulted in the consumer base of the market shifting to eco-friendly refinish coatings.

In North America, governments have imposed strict regulations on the use of solvent-based coatings as these coatings emit VOCs and fumes, which cause diseases and pollute the environment. This is expected to hamper the growth of the automotive refinish industry in the region.

Contrary to these regulations, the sales of water-based coatings are expected to grow. Eco-friendy, water-based coatings are expected to become the most preferred product type in the automotive refinish coatings market over the forecast period.

“The growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) supports the automotive refinishing market. Many EV owners want to enhance the distinctiveness of their vehicles with new coatings, further fueling market growth. As the automotive landscape evolves, the refinishing coating market is set to expand, driven by consumer preferences for customization, protection, and technological advancements,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, associate vice president at Future Market Insights, Inc.
