Description

This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the current status and future prospects of the global commercial vehicle coatings market, analyzing volume shipments and revenue at the manufacturer level from 2021 to 2031. It focuses on coatings applied to the exterior surfaces of on-road commercial vehicles—including heavy trucks, buses, coaches, and light commercial vehicles—while excluding interior coatings from the scope. The coatings are classified into 2 major product groups: OEM coatings, applied during original vehicle manufacturing, and refinish coatings, used for repair and maintenance. These categories are further segmented by sub-product types such as primers, e-coats, basecoats, clearcoats, and monocoats; by resin chemistries including epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, and polyester; and by coating technologies such as solvent-borne, waterborne, and powder coatings.

Several key trends are shaping the CV coatings market. The global shift toward low-VOC and sustainable coating solutions is accelerating, leading to wider adoption of waterborne and powder-based technologies. Meanwhile, growing demand for refinish coatings reflects the aging of commercial fleets and the expansion of logistics networks driven by eCommerce growth. Vehicle aesthetics are also becoming increasingly important, as fleet operators leverage vehicle appearance for branding, which in turn drives demand for durable, high-gloss monocoats and clearcoats. While advanced coating solutions are gaining traction in developed regions, cost sensitivity in emerging markets sustains the use of traditional solvent-borne systems, resulting in a diverse technology landscape across regions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
