China's total output of coatings was 9.666 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 22.8; The total output of architectural coatings was 3.519 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 23.7%. From the data, the development of China's coating market is booming, but in fact, the development path of China's coating market is not smooth. From the rise of raw material prices, the "eight national policies" to control the real estate market, the central bank's interest rate increase to the expected target of economic growth set at about 8 during the two sessions, many obstacles have been added to the development of the coating market, However, in the face of a sunrise industry, even if there are obstacles, we can still foresee the prospect that the opportunities in the architectural coating market outweigh the risks in 2011.

 

Nowadays, more and more coating enterprises begin to pay attention to the water-based coating market, invest a lot of human and financial resources in the process of water-based technology development, and strive to completely replace the position of oil-based coatings in the market, so that more consumers can enjoy a low-carbon and green healthy life as soon as possible. Waterborne coatings refer to coatings using water as solvent or dispersion medium. With the characteristics of health, environmental protection, safety, simplicity and energy saving, it has attracted the attention of many coating manufacturers and consumers.

The rapid rise of architectural coatings drives the development of waterborne coatings

 

According to unofficial data, China's total output of coatings in 2010 was 9.666 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 22.8; The total output of architectural coatings was 3.519 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 23.7%. From the data, the development of China's coating market is booming, but in fact, the development path of China's coating market is not smooth. From the rise of raw material prices, the "eight national policies" to control the real estate market, the central bank's interest rate increase to the expected target of economic growth set at about 8 in the two sessions, many obstacles have been added to the development of the coating market, However, in the face of a sunrise industry, even if there are obstacles, we can still foresee the prospect that the opportunities in the architectural coating market in 2011 outweigh the risks.

 

Although there are many twists and turns in the development of architectural coatings, a series of world-saving policies issued by the state in 2010 also provide great opportunities for the development of architectural coatings. For example, 23 key projects newly started in the western development, with a total investment of 682.2 billion yuan, covering railway, highway, Airport construction and other aspects, undoubtedly opening up a new market space for coating products. The acceleration of China's urbanization and the construction of emerging industrial zones promote the rapid development of China's coating industry in different aspects. As a branch of the coating industry, waterborne coatings will also occupy more market share driven by this general trend.

 

The market share of waterborne coatings in China may reach 60% in the next five years

 

In 2010, the total output of coatings in China was 9.666 million tons, and the output of waterborne coatings was about 4.16 million tons. China's water-based coatings have developed well driven by the general trend of coating development. Affected by the sharp rise in crude oil prices in the past two years, the price of solvent products required for oily coatings has risen all the way, bringing huge cost pressure to enterprises. At the same time, with the response to the voice of environmental protection in the coating industry, more and more coating enterprises have begun to transform and take the road of hydration. It has promoted the development of China's waterborne coating industry.

 

Nowadays, water-based coatings are in increasing demand in the Chinese market. It has become an indispensable auxiliary material in construction, furniture, automobile and other industries. In addition, with the increasingly strong development of China's coating industry, the water-based coating market is bound to be driven by the overall upward trend of coatings. In the next five years, the market share of waterborne coatings in China may reach about 60.

 

In addition to the above, waterborne coatings are also widely used in paper coatings, plastic coatings, glass coatings and so on.

 

However, at present, the product technical performance of many coating enterprises is becoming more and more consistent, and it is difficult for enterprises to realize the differentiation strategy. Many enterprises ignore independent technological innovation. But fortunately, China's coating product market has great development potential and there is a lot of development space. Enterprises should grasp technological innovation in order to maintain the leading position of products in the industry, improve the competitiveness of enterprises and increase the economic benefits of enterprises. With the sustained and rapid growth of China's economy, the massive construction of infrastructure and the gradual enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, coatings will move towards the road of health, environmental protection and water-based, and the water-based coating industry will usher in a broader development space.
