The ChemQuest Group, Inc. has announced that The International Paint and Printing Ink Council’s (IPPIC) expanded fifth edition of the Global Market Analysis for the Paint & Coatings Industry (2015-2020) can now be purchased and downloaded in a PDF report.

The report provides comprehensive market research covering the global paint and coatings industry, addressing topics of relevance to coatings manufacturers, end users, raw materials suppliers, and others interested in the industry. It covers three primary categories of coatings: Decorative, Original Equipment Manufacturers and Special Purpose, as well as the many sub-segments within those categories. Chapters focus on sector analysis, market trends and drivers, and competitive landscape. 

IPPIC is pleased to partner with The ChemQuest Group, Inc., a leading business strategy and consulting firm to the specialty chemicals and coatings industries, to conduct the in-depth market research and develop this single-volume resource document. The report’s content is delivered in an easy-to-read format with charts, tables, and other illustrations that highlight the study’s most pertinent data. To offer even more value than before, the fifth edition was expanded to include the following new information:

Additional Forecast Data: In addition to five-year historical and forecast data by country and segment that has appeared in previous reports, the report includes an additional two-year historical and forecast view for each country.

Expanded Raw Material Chapter: The study’s Raw Material chapter has been expanded to include additional details and a new section on emerging technologies and trends, including sustainability.

New Sub-Segments: The latest edition drills down to offer a broader range of geographic sub-segments, providing information on more than 175 countries, as well as providing more comprehensive sub-segmentation details within the current market chapter structure. Examples include:

• Automotive OEM: greater details on coatings for automotive plastics.

• General Industrial: deeper analysis of agricultural and construction equipment (ACE) coatings.
