UAE Paints and Coatings Market Trends:
Rapid Urbanization
The UAE's increasing urbanization and infrastructure development is a key driver of the paints and coatings business. The urban and built area of the UAE increased 170-fold from 3.2 square km to 1,490 square. Besides, in 2021, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan that maps out a comprehensive future map for sustainable urban development in the city. The country's ambitious growth strategy, exemplified by projects such as the Expo 2020 site and multiple towers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, necessitates high-quality paints and coatings. These projects require aesthetically pleasing finishes and long-lasting and protective coatings to resist the severe desert climate. The construction boom, fueled by both government and private sector investments, produces a steady demand for creative and long-lasting paint solutions. Furthermore, the government's emphasis on sustainable and smart city initiatives is escalating the need for eco-friendly and high-performance coatings, thus propelling the UAE paints and coatings market size.
Growing Automotive Sector
The UAE's expanding automotive sector significantly boosts demand for paints and coatings. As per Khaleej Times, the overall automotive market in the UAE has recorded 9.3% growth in the first half of 2022 compared to the same 2021 period, with the total units sold in June up 8.1 per cent year-on-year basis. Al-Futtaim Automotive, which revealed the data, said SUVs continue to dominate the UAE market, making up 50.5% of sales for the first half of the year. With increased vehicle ownership and the availability of various luxury automobile brands on the market, there is a corresponding demand for high-quality automotive coatings that provide durability, aesthetic appeal, and protection against harsh weather conditions. The automotive industry's expansion is fuelled by high disposable incomes, a robust economy, and a strong culture of vehicle personalization and upkeep. Automotive coatings in the UAE must meet demanding performance and environmental criteria, resulting in increased R&D spending. Furthermore, the rise of electric vehicles and the push for more sustainable practices in the automobile industry drive demand for sophisticated, environmentally friendly coating solutions.
