Road marking paints and coatings are used to paint road surfaces, primarily for transportation purposes. These aid in traffic management and allow for smoother movement of vehicles. Road marking paints play a vital role in traffic guidance, defining travel paths and directions, lane separations and parking areas. These enhance visibility at night and under poor lighting conditions. Different types of materials are used in road marking depending on factors like intended use, durability required and weather conditions. Conventional solvent and water-based paints are widely used along with thermoplastic materials like epoxy and polyurea for longer life. Technological advancements have led to the development of materials with improved retro-reflection and durability.
Market Dynamics:
Global road marking paints and coatings market growth is driven by growing road construction projects, infrastructural development, and maintenance of existing road networks worldwide. Government focus on road safety measures involving proper road signage and markings acts as a key opportunity. However, stringent environmental regulations around the use of solvent-based paints hampers the market growth. Rising raw material costs also impact the market negatively.
