The increasing transition in coatings from low or high-volatility organic solvents to solvent-free coatings with lower emissions is projected to add to the increased demand for aqueous coatings in both residential and commercial coating applications. When compared to solvent-borne coatings, waterborne coatings use less material to cover the same surface area. Stringent environmental restrictions, as well as increased adoption of low VOC, eco-friendly, and non-hazardous coatings by the end-user industry, are projected to drive up demand for aqueous coatings. Furthermore, the increasing use of acrylic-based industrial coatings is likely to drive market expansion.
