Aerosol paints are used in various architectural finishing applications, including varnishes, primers, interior and exterior paints, and stains. These are also utilized in architectural structure sites, including residential, commercial, or institutional structures.
- Aerosol paints are often employed for touch-up and repair work on architectural surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, and trims. They can help achieve a consistent finish, especially in areas that are challenging to access with traditional painting methods. Additionally, aerosol paints come in various colors and finishes, allowing for customization and creativity in architectural designs.
- Asia-Pacific has been witnessing strong growth in residential construction in countries such as India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Besides, in North America, there has been a high housing and repair construction demand owing to increased immigrants and the trend of nuclear families.
- In Southeast Asia, Indonesia is one of the largest and fastest-growing architectural markets. The Indonesian government started a program to build about one million housing units across the country, for which the government has allocated about USD 1 billion in the budget.
- Additionally, the United States has one of the world’s largest construction industries. According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2023, the construction value in the country reached USD 19,78,700 million, registering an increase of more than 7% compared to 2022. Moreover, in February 2024, privately owned housing units authorized by building permits stood at 1,518,000 units, registering an increase of 2.4% compared to the same period in 2023.
- Germany has the largest construction industry in the European continent. However, the country has been facing a downward trend in the construction industry for the past few months. According to the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany, in 2023, the construction of 260,100 dwellings was permitted in Germany, which was a decrease of 94,100 building permits. Furthermore, building permits for apartments in Germany fell by 27% in 2023, underscoring a downturn in construction and real estate industry demand.
- Hence, the rising architectural construction activities are expected to dominate the market for aerosol paints during the forecast period.

- Manufacturers are increasingly using aerosol paints for architectural applications after realizing the cost benefits and aesthetic quality associated with aerosol paints when used on a small scale. Aerosol paints are applied on surfaces to provide a smooth and even finish, enhancing the aesthetics of structures. They are used to create intricate designs, patterns, and artworks on walls and other surfaces.
- The construction sector is a key contributor to China's continued economic development. As per the forecast given by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, China’s construction sector is expected to maintain a 6% share of the country’s GDP going into 2025.
- In addition, the housing and construction industry has also witnessed nominal growth in Japan in the past couple of years. Many luxury apartments and residential complexes are under construction in Japan. For instance, Mitsubishi State is constructing Japan’s tallest building, which comprises 50 luxury apartments, each generating USD 43,000 monthly rent. The project is being built near the Tokyo station and is likely to be completed by 2027.
- Hence, growing sales of automobiles and rising architectural construction in Asia-Pacific are expected to boost the demand for aerosol paints during the forecast period.
