IMCD has released Building Tomorrow, the second edition of its trends commentary for the coatings and construction industry. This report features primary data and updated trends insights from IMCD’s first comprehensive global customer survey across 35 countries, and interviews with technical and commercial experts from IMCD Coatings & Construction. The report covers four megatrends shaping the future of the coatings and construction industry: Green & Circular, A Healthy Future, Smart Functionality, and Time for Efficiency. The experts’ viewpoints offer a unique perspective on how each megatrend is evolving and how IMCD can offer solutions that directly respond to these trends. According to IMCD’s customer survey, for the next two years Green & Circular will be the most impactful megatrend, while Time for Efficiency will be the most relevant. This trend also asserts the need to balance innovation, regulation, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining quality and performance. A Healthy Future highlights the importance of clean label and safe use products, while Smart Functionality emphasises the growing demand for multi-functional products and spaces. “In this second edition, we moved from a commentary to a report,” says Carola Duncan, global marketing director, IMCD Coatings & Construction. “From our global customer base, we collected valuable insights into what they need in the next two years to succeed. Our technical and commercial experts validated and added to these insights with ways to respond to the trends with the latest formulations and innovations.” “Understanding the megatrends and their local dynamics in different markets segments help us develop innovations aligned with the expectations and needs of our customers,” added Jerome Bollard, technical director, IMCD Coatings & Construction. “In our laboratories, we combine those needs and expectations with the commitment of creating solutions for a more sustainable future.” Download your copy of the Building Tomorrow report to learn more about the future of the coatings and construction industry and IMCD’s response to the latest trends and innovations.
