Global Anti-Mould Paints Market - 2024-2031

Overview

Global Anti-Mould Paints Market reached US$ 1.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1.6 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

The ongoing redevelopment of old and heritage buildings and monuments will likely augment the demand for anti-mould paints during the forecast period. Many governments are undertaking major restoration work to upgrade the asthetics of urban spaces. With the widening scope of restoration projects, the consequent demand for anti-mould paints will further increase over the upcoming years.

The long term growth of the global anti-mould paints market is hampered by the relatively slow pace of research and development in the sector. Many companies are taking years to launch new and improved products in the market. A slow pace of innovation could undermine the ability of major market players to create value-driven growth.

Dynamics

Increasing Rates of Home Renovations

Home renovations witnessed a major uptick over the past three years. With COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns leading people to spend more time at home, home improvements become more popular as people sought to channel their creative energies. The Joint Center for Housing Centers of Harvard University (JCHS), a consumer research center, published data suggesting that spending on home renovations and improvements in U.S. topped US$ 472 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 485 billion in 2023.

Home renovations create new opportunities for home owners to check and arrest any type of moldy growth. Due to the volatility in global housing market and decline in new home sales in developed markets of North America and Europe, the majority of anti-mold paints are being sought for home renovations. The rising rates of home renovations, especially in developed markets, where the average house age is more than 10 years, will be a key factor in driving market growth over the forecast period.

Increased Government Spending on Infrastructure

Government spending on infrastructure development has accelerated markedly in the post-pandemic period. Many governments in Europe and North America are using capital investment in public infrastructure development as a form of economic stimulus to reverse the xdownturn experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, the Next Generation EU (NGEU) financial framework passed by the European Union, provides a EUR 750 billion (US$ 808 billion) package towards improving and upgrading regional infrastructure.

A similar trend is observed in developing countries, however, focus here is mainly on building greenfield infrastructure such as expressways, airports and metros to improve the quality of life for citizens. Some countries are also engaged in building greenfield cities. For instance, in June 2023, the Indonesian parliament approved a support package of 15 trillion rupiah (US$ 1.01 billion) to speed up the construction of the country's new capital, Nusantara. An increase in government spending on infrastructure will lead to a major augmentation of demand for anti-mould paints during the forecast period.

Supply Chain Constraints

The anti-mould paints industry is wholly dependant on diversified global supply chains with production, distribution and consumption spread out across various regions. Most of the global production of anti-mould paints takes place in Asia-Pacific, mainly since these regional manufacturers have high production capacity and extremely economical pricing. Very few high-capacity manufacturers are left in North America and Europe that can compete with Asian manufacturers.

However, the global supply chains are still reeling from the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As manufacturers are still struggling to ramp up production, it is creating bottlenecks for the growth of the global market since distributors are unable to quickly meet the growing demand for anti-mould paints. The ongoing challenges with supply chain constraints will represent a major problem for the growth of the global market.

Segment Analysis

The global anti-mould paints market is segmented based on type, application and region.

Water-based Paints will Continue to Garner a Major Share of the Market

Water-based emulsion paints have the highest rates of adoptibility in modern anti-mould painting applications. Nearly all modern paints that are manufactured are mainly water-based. It is primarily due to its various desirable properties including absence of odor, wide color range, good spreadability and lower costs.

On the other hand, solvent-based paints are not environmentally friendly, are relatively expensive to mass produce and have a lingering odor. Changing industry standards and trends are further diminishing the market share for solvent-based anti-mould paints and they are expected to garner an extremely small share of the global market.

Geographical Penetration

Infrastructure Development to Boost Market in Asia-Pacific

Public infrastructure development has witnessed major growth, especially in emerging regions of Asia-Pacific over the previous decade. Many governments have expanded public infrastructure development to improve the standard of living for their citizens. Furthermore, the public infrastructure spending has also been used as a form of economic stimulus to reinvigorate economies from the downturn of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For instance, India has committed more than INR 143 trillion (US$ 172 billion) for public infrastructure spending during the period 2024 to 2031, for the development of new ports, airports, urban mass transit systems and roadways. The increased spending on public infrastructure will consequently increase demand for anti-mould paint in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic created significant problems for the global anti-mold paints market. The demand from new construction fell drastically during the course of the pandemic as most non-essential construction work ground to a halt. However, some critical public infrastructure projects still generated demand for anti-mold paints, event during the most stringent lockdowns.

However, with the decline in COVID cases and the ending of most restrictions, demand swiftly bounced back. Economic stimulus in many developed markets spurred construction activity, thus augmenting more demand for anti-mould paints. However, tighter supply and lingering volatility kept the prices for anti-mould paints slightly elevated over the short term in the post-pandemic period.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine war mainly affected the demand for anti-mould paints in both the warring countries. Due to massive damage to infrastructure and widespread disruption to normalcy, Ukraine has had great difficulty in importing and utilizing anti-mould paints. Most of the local stockpiles were requisitioned for renovations of military installations.

The Russian anti-mould paints market has also witnessed disruption due to the war. The harsh economic sanctions imposed on Russia have led to a complete halt in exports of raw materials and essential additives, mainly sourced from western European countries. To combat shortages, Russia has started importing ingredients for anti-mould paints from China to ramp up domestic production capacity to fill the gaps left by the departure of western anti-mould paint manufacturers.
