The increasing sale of automotive vehicles across the country is one of the major growth-inducing factors. In 2023, car sales in Japan grew to more than 4 million. Also, Toyota was the leading car manufacturer in Japan, selling over 1.50 million vehicles. As the automotive industry expands in the country, there is a surging need for high-quality coatings that protect vehicles from corrosion and UV damage. Besides this, various automotive manufacturers are focusing on reducing the harmful gas emissions from the manufacturing process, which is further propelling the demand for green coatings across Japan.

Additionally, the increasing government initiatives in the construction sector are among the major growth-inducing factors in the country. The government in Japan started building the Hokkaido Shinkansen, which will connect Shin-Aomori Station in Aomori Prefecture in Honshu to Sapporo Station in Hokkaido. The project is anticipated to be completed in 2031. In line with this, regulatory authorities in Japan have also launched the Linear Motor Car Maglev Bullet Train Project, which is in development and will connect Tokyo's Shinagawa Station with Osaka's Shin-Osaka Station, covering a total distance of more than 259 kilometers. With a strong focus on sustainability, the government of Japan is further focusing on eco-friendly practices and green building certifications to reduce environmental impact. Moreover, investments in infrastructure development and urban renewal projects boost the demand for green coatings, as these products align with environmental regulations and offer low-VOC solutions. Additionally, policies encouraging energy-efficient and sustainable construction methods are accelerating the adoption of green coatings, ensuring compliance while enhancing durability and aesthetic appeal.
