The global automotive OEM coatings market size reached USD 8.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 10.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.27% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing steady growth driven by regulatory pressures necessitating the adoption of eco-friendly, low-VOC coatings, the growing automotive production and sales, particularly in emerging markets, and continuous technological advancements in coating formulations.
Automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings refer to water-based, or solvent-based paints, that are applied for coating the surface of automobiles. They aid in increasing the durability of vehicles, enhancing their aesthetics, and protecting against extreme temperature, intense ultraviolet (UV) radiations, chemical stains, and acid rain. On account of these properties, automotive OEM coatings are extensively employed on passenger, light commercial and heavy commercial vehicles. At present, these coatings are commercially available in varying types of resin forms, such as epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane.
Automotive OEM Coatings Market Trends:
The significant growth in the automotive sector, along with the increasing demand for commercial utility vehicles and energy-efficient mobility, due to the rising environmental concerns, is one of the prime factors driving the automotive OEM coatings market toward growth. In line with this, the extensive utilization of solvent- and water-borne coatings for painting various interior elements of the vehicle, such as meter clusters, instrument panels, speaker grills, steering wheels, door trim and armrest bezels is acting as another growth-inducing factor. The integration of these components with ultraviolet (UV)-curved technologies and eco-friendly coatings is aiding in eliminating the occurrence of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which is further propelling the market growth. Moreover, advancements in the automotive sector, along with the rising requirement for thinner film thickness, lower bake temperature and heavy-metal free formulations in the coating systems and processes are also catalyzing the market growth. Moreover, the shifting inclination of manufacturers from metals to plastic coatings on account of its durability, strength and chemical and corrosion resistance properties are contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as strategic collaborations amongst key players and continuous investments in research and development (R&D) activities for launching novel product variants, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
