These factors are expected to increase the footprint of the global Decorative Coatings market during the forecast period.

The global Decorative Coatings market in North America and Europe faces stringent government rules and policies. However, the developing regions possess few or no powers for this segment. This provides a fruitful pathway for the Decorative Coatings market in the Asia Pacific to increase. Developing economies such as China, Mexico, India, Qatar, UAE, Singapore, and Thailand are extensively expanding a widening scope for the Decorative Coatings market. Studies indicate that Decorative Coatings enhances the surface's durability and appearance and protects it from harsh weather and other external conditions such as UV radiation, extreme temperature, acid rain, and foreign particles. Additionally, they protect infrastructure from moisture, corrosion resistance, and bacteria, increasing the scope for the Decorative Coatings market to widen.

Economic Insights

The already weak global market growth is anticipated to worsen as more countries fall into a recession. According to a comprehensive new study by the World Bank, the world may be edging towards a global recession in 2023 as well as a string of financial crises in emerging markets and developing economies that would permanently harm them. This is because central banks worldwide are raising interest rates simultaneously in response to inflation. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the worldwide humanitarian catastrophe have increased risk exposures in the world's money flows, trade, and commodities markets. The illegal and unwarranted conflict between Russia and Ukraine caused a significant loss of revenue for the hermetic packaging industries in Europe.
