Ranking: Europes top 25 coatings manufacturers in 2020
A total of 23.6 billion EUR - these revenues were generated by the 25 top-selling coatings manufacturers in Europe in 2019 with coatings. This sum is the result of this year's ranking. In 2016, we started to rank paint and coatings manufacturers headquartered in Europe according to turnover.
The decisive factor here is not group or corporate sales, but the revenues generated with paints and coatings. In 2016, the sales of the top 25 were EUR 24 billion, only slightly above the total in the current ranking.
Even though the list has remained stable for the most part, especially in the top ten, there are still significant changes. Due to acquisitions, some companies such as Helios or J.W. Ostendorf are no longer part of the ranking. This year Betek Boya is no longer included, as the Turkish company was taken over by the Japanese group Nippon Paint in the first half of 2019.
