The U.S. paints and coatings market size is expected to reach USD 41.12 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market is attributed to a rise in the construction activities and increasing demand for paints and coatings from durable goods, motor vehicles, and industrial maintenance applications in the country.
Rising construction spending and several national policies to promote the recovery of the housing sector are expected to positively impact future construction trends. Reconstruction activities, coupled with infrastructure development in the country, as a result of rapid industrialization are expected to provide immense market potential in the U.S. over the forecast period.
However, the spread of the coronavirus pandemic has drastically impacted the growth of the building and construction sector in the country and has led to a decrease in the infrastructural development activities in 2020 as the major companies have either held their capital investment and their ongoing and planned construction projects or have canceled their projects, such as Google’s planned Mission Bay project. This has led to a decrease in the demand for paints and coatings for architectural and decorative applications.
On the basis of product, the market is segmented into high solids/radiation curing, powder coatings, waterborne coatings, solvent-borne coatings, and others (specialty coatings). High solids and radiation curing coatings relatively account for a small portion of the U.S. market. However, the adoption of these coatings is rising in various applications, such as marine, aerospace, paper, and paperboard, and construction, owing to their rapid curing and excellent physical properties. This is expected to fuel the growth of the segment in the coming years.
