By 2015, consumption is expected to account for US architectural coatings products for more than half the total consumption of paint. Although the consumption of such products is still slightly lower than the peak in 2006, but in recent years, its growth rate is very robust.
Special functional coatings products in 2015 will account for nearly 24 percent of total US consumption of paints, including industrial maintenance coatings and specialty coatings roof, which is mainly driven by the economic recovery and the construction of consumption growth.

Solvent-based paints proportion will fall to 30%, while in 1996 it accounted for 42% .70% of solvent-based coatings for industrial applications.
Powder coatings, radiation-curable coatings and 100% solids coatings market will account for 11% of the total, about 40% of OEM coatings products and 5% of the special coating products using such technology. OEM coatings produced using powder technology in 1996 when the ratio was 14%, while in 2015 will reach more than 20%.
