Improvement in the manufacturing sectors, including automotive and industrial, in the U.S. is expected to upscale the demand for coatings. The strong foothold of commercial spaces as well as corporate houses in the U.S. owing to the well-established infrastructure, trained workforce, and close access to production units on a domestic level is expected to be a favorable factor for the segment growth.

Residential applications include garages, patios, walkways, and basements for new houses and townhouses. The residential construction sector in the country is primarily driven by the growth in single-family housing units. According to the United States Census Bureau, 904,000 single-family homes and 352,000 multi-family units were completed in 2019. Moreover, single-family housing units comprise additional features, such as larger garages. The additional features of single-family housing units are directly linked to an increased usage of concrete flooring for various operations.

Patios are exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, and other environmental factors like dirt and grime, which creates the need to protect patio surfaces. For instance, in summer, the surface is exposed to extreme heat and UV rays, which can lower the build quality of the patio. As a result, flooring solutions, such as concrete floor coatings, are used as they are easy to clean & maintain and offer resistance against weather, moisture, UV, and abrasion.

End-user Insights

The professional end-user segment led the market and accounted for 60.0% of the revenue share in 2021. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.
