It is reported that the market share of water-based environmentally friendly coatings in Japan, Europe and America has exceeded 60%, while in China, this proportion is significantly lower. Industry insiders say that in the next five years, the market share of water-based environmentally friendly coatings in China may reach 20%.
In recent years, coatings have emerged as selling points such as formaldehyde removal and odor purification. However, in recent years, there have been no new selling points for coatings, and the market has returned to calm. After several years of precipitation, consumers are no longer particularly interested in those selling points, as they are not the most critical aspects of coatings themselves. On the contrary, environmental protection has become the safety issue that people are most concerned about, 'said industry insiders.
The development of water-based environmentally friendly coatings not only meets the current needs of China's environmental protection and energy-saving industry, but also supports and encourages environmentally friendly and energy-saving coating enterprises. It helps deepen the understanding of water-based coatings among ordinary people from the perspective of their own health and safety, and thus tends to be environmentally friendly in the selection of coating materials, reducing the requirements for coating coverage fullness, color, hardness, and other aspects.
