The 2024 version is ready and live online. Click here to review the latest Top Companies list!
Coatings World is proud to bring the industry our annual Top Companies Report – the only truly global ranking of the top manufacturers of paint and coatings.
Our editorial staff has spent many hours researching and interviewing companies to provide you with the most accurate ranking of paint and coatings manufacturers operating in the global industry. Rankings are based on annual sales in U.S. dollars. For companies based outside the U.S., sales are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates from the company’s fiscal closing date. For privately held companies who choose not to disclose sales figures, our staff interviews different industry sources coupled with our own research to come up with an accurate estimate of annual sales.
We profiled 75 companies in this report. All have sales of $100 million or more annually. Companies marked with an asterisk in the ranking on the following page represent Coatings World estimate. Bold companies are those making their first appearance as a Top Company. A number of companies have been removed from the list this year including: Cromology (France) which was acquired by Nippon Paints’ DuluxGroup; Karworwag (Germany) and Tikkurila (Finland), which were both acquired by PPG; Industria Titan (Spain) and Pintuco (Colombia), which were acquired by AkzoNobel. We added one new company this year; Indonesia-based Avia Avian. PPG took back the top position from Sherwin-Williams, who ranked number one for the first time last year.
The Top Companies Report is intended to provide our readers with a snapshot of the industry’s most influential players.
We hope you will come away with a clearer insight into the future of this truly global and always evolving industry. If you are a paint and coatings manufacturer with sales of $100 million or more for fiscal 2021 and would like to be included in our Top Companies Report, contact me and I will add your company to the online version. https://bcove.video/3CfuSqc
