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. As always, our editorial staff has worked diligently researching and interviewing companies to provide our readers 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 79 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.

For the first time since I have been compiling the Top Companies Report there has not been one company removed due to acquisition or lack of sales. I take that as a sign that the market is stabilizing a bit from the flurry of acquisitions that occurred last year. 

This year we have two additions to the rankings: Sinteplast (46) and NOVOL (76). Sinteplast is an Argentinian company specializing in paint and coatings. They offer a variety of architectural, industrial and automotive coatings. NOVOL is a Poland-based manufacturer of coating systems for the automotive, industrial and composite materials sectors. 

The Top Companies Report is intended to provide our readers with a comprehensive overview 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 2024 and would like to be included in our Top Companies Report, contact me and I will add your company to the online version.
