The VOCs released from solvent-based coatings is the core reason for the switch of manufacturers to water-based coatings. The water-based coatings are increasingly replacing organic solvents. There are many regulations from several governments, which support water-based coatings. These are usually used in several applications, which include transportation, building and construction, and industrial applications. Water-borne coatings exhibit high mechanical strength and toughness along with electrical and thermal properties. The absence of Isocyanate, flammable constituents, costly ventilation systems makes water-based coatings as the first option.

Asia-Pacific to Lead among Other Regions

Asia-Pacific is the largest coatings market across the globe with a 45% share of the global epoxy coatings market. In the region, China, India, and Japan account for higher shares.
