Latex coatings are water-based coatings extensively used in construction for priming, sealing and painting purposes owing to their cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness and easy application properties. Latex coatings provide surfaces with properties such as water resistance, stain resistance and improved durability. They are used on surfaces like drywall, concrete, plaster and wood. The growing infrastructural development across both residential and non-residential sectors has propelled the demand for various interior and exterior construction materials like paints and coatings including latex coatings.

The global Latex Coating Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 50.77 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key Trends:

One of the key trends witnessed in the latex coating market is the increasing preference of eco-friendly and low volatile organic compound (VOC) coatings. Latex coatings emit very less or no VOCs and are considered a great substitute for solvent-based coatings. Many regulations have been implemented worldwide to reduce the usage of solvent-based coatings owing to the environmental and health hazards posed by them. This has created significant demand growth opportunities for water-based and low-VOC latex coatings across applications like construction and industrial use. Manufacturers are extensively focusing on developing sustainable, eco-friendly latex coating solutions to capitalize on the increasing market shift towards green products.
