Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Automotive Paints Market

The life-threatening effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic have intensely affected peoples, their working style, and lifestyles. Almost every industry across the globe has been suffering through the pandemic. One of the impacts of the Covid-19 has been the disruption in the global supply chain, with prices of raw material (RM), as well as freight and logistics, cost turning skywards. COVID-19 has had a major impact on the automotive paint market over the last two years. The supply chain across the industry was disturbed and due to lockdown, the production of automobiles was stopped, resulting in diminishing growth of the market over the forecast. Additionally, the shutdown of other supporting sectors has also affected the automotive paints industry.

Segmental Outlook 

The global automotive paints market is segmented based on the vehicle, paint type, technology, texture, and painting equipment. Based on the vehicle, the market is segmented into light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and passenger cars. Based on the paint type, the market is sub-segmented into the primer, basecoat, Clearcoat, and electrocoat. Based on the technology, the market is augmented into water borne, solvent borne, and powder. Based on the texture, the market is again sub-segmented into solid, metallic, and matte. Based on the painting equipment, the market is bifurcated into the airless spray gun and electrostatic spray gun.
