Current Status and Development Prospects of China's Coatings Market

1. Industrial chain analysis of the coating industry

The upstream industries of the coatings industry include the manufacturing of chemical raw materials such as resins, solvents, pigments, fillers and additives, while the upstream of chemical raw materials such as resins and solvents is the petrochemical industry. The downstream of the coatings industry is mainly construction, furniture, automobile, home appliances and other manufacturing enterprises and the home decoration market.

The impact of upstream raw materials on the industry is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the stability of the output scale affects the stability of the supply of raw materials in the coating industry; second, the price of raw materials affects the production cost of coatings. The influence of the downstream product market on the coatings industry is mainly reflected in the market scale and development trend of the coatings.

2. China's paint output exceeds 24 million tons

my country's paint output and operating rate have rebounded in recent years, and the market has great potential for development. From the perspective of supply, from 2014 to 2019, the output of China's coatings industry has increased year by year. The output in 2019 has reached 24.388 million tons, a slight increase from 2018, an increase of 2.60% year-on-year; the average annual compound growth rate is 9.27%.

3. Analysis of the market competition pattern of China's coatings industry

5. Analysis of the development prospects of China's coatings industry

The "13th Five-Year Plan for China's Coatings Industry" pointed out that benefiting from both industrial and civil demand, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the industry's total economic output maintained steady growth, with an average annual growth rate of about 6.5% in total output value. By 2023, the total output value of the coatings industry is expected to increase to about 690 billion yuan; the output is calculated at an average annual growth rate of 5%. By 2020, the total output of the coatings industry is expected to increase to about 27 million tons.

Considering that the growth rate of China's paint production in 2019 is only 2.60%, and the continued impact of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in 2020, the factory operating rate will be greatly affected. It is expected that the paint output will decline to 23 million tons in 2020. about. In the future, China's paint output will grow at a compound growth rate of 2.6%. By 2025, the national paint output will be close to 27 million tons.
