The emergence of eco-friendly coatings made with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) coincides with rising environmental consciousness and severe legislation. These coatings emit much less hazardous compounds, helping to enhance air quality and minimize environmental impact. For example, in September 2020, PPG Industries Inc. introduced waterborne coatings with reduced VOC content, aligning with environmental regulations and consumer preferences. PPG has also developed advanced color-matching technologies that enhance accuracy and efficiency for body shops.

Moreover, the automobile industry is experiencing a move toward proficient protective coatings that improve vehicle longevity and visual appeal. Consumer preference for long-lasting and high-performance solutions has led to the development of these coatings, which provide increased resistance to environmental factors, scratches, and pollutants. This tendency reinforces the industry's emphasis on innovation and high-quality vehicle maintenance. For example, in November 2021, 3M India announced the launch of ceramic coating for the Indian automotive and paint industry. The product was introduced to provide an enhanced solution for issues related to exterior car surfaces. For instance, Axalta Coating Systems' latest release of high-durability clearcoats, which provide better UV protection and scratch resistance, addresses the growing market need for long-lasting automotive finishes. Furthermore, automotive refinish coating manufacturers are investing in R&D to develop quicker curing materials that will decrease vehicle downtime. The need for speedier applications is consistent with the requirement for operational efficiency in body shops. The aftermarket for refinished coatings is a valuable income source, especially as vehicle ownership and maintenance rates climb. For example, in North America, prominent OEMs such as Ford, General Motors, and Tesla are integrating innovative coatings that enhance aesthetics and protection, meeting consumer expectations for high-quality and eco-friendly vehicle maintenance.
