Market Challenges

•         The global wood coatings market faces regulatory challenges due to stringent limits on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) use. VOC regulations necessitate manufacturers to reformulate wood coatings with minimal VOC content or switch to VOC-free alternatives. CCA, once popular for its effectiveness against decay and insects, has been phased out due to health and environmental concerns. HAP regulations restrict the use of certain chemicals and solvents, forcing manufacturers to identify and phase out HAPs or adopt alternatives.

•         The wood coatings market faces several challenges in various applications such as outdoor use, furniture, floors, and architectural elements. The global construction industry demands high-performance coatings to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including UV radiation and moisture. Aesthetic preferences call for gloss levels, finishes, and textures that cater to interior decor and home renovation projects. Nanotechnology, UV-curable coatings, water-based alternatives, and high-performance coatings are popular solutions. However, challenges remain in reducing VOCs, addressing abrasion and chemical exposure, and providing waterborne technology and powder coating technology alternatives.
