UAE Architectural Paints and Coatings Market Segment Insights
Acrylic paint segment is anticipated to constitute a key market share
In terms of resin types, the market is categorized as epoxy, alkyd, polyurethane, acrylic, and others. The acrylics paints segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to wide usage of polymer in the paints & coatings industry. The acrylic forms that are highly used are thermoset and thermoplastic. By polymerization of different acrylic monomers synthesized thermoplastics acrylic resins and by reacting with other polymers at elevated temperature thermosets are restores.
Acrylic paint has many advantages such as high durability, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, and hardness.

Solvent-borne segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
Based on technology, the market is bifurcated into water-borne and solvent-borne. The solvent-borne market is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Solvent-borne has various benefits such as chemical, heat, and water resistance. On the other hand, the water-borne paints can create serious water pollution if the manufacturers do not handle it well.
Non-residential segment to hold a major market share
On the basis of construction types, the market is segregated as residential and non-residential. The non-residential is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to increasing number of non-residential constructions. Layer of protection reduces the impact of weather on the exterior part of non-residential structure. This can increase the life span of the property and help in investing less in painting material.
